I should also probably explain myself before I get flamed alive. I'm at the point where I just met Midna and got back to my village and all the children are gone. So I've just become a wolf and this is a major turning point in the story, so I totally understand why there would be so many interruptions to explain the situation and the new gameplay mechanics.
So I'm not actually that pissed about the game at all. I do feel a bit gypped, but I understand it's early in the game. I was more just trying to make a fun thread. It also goes to show that if you hold up other games to the same standard people apply to MGS, you notice that a lot of very good games all of a sudden "suck" too.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
