I think it will be amazing but you do have to keep in mind that previews are generally more positive than reviews. Still I expect this game to be around 93% on GR in the end.

I don't understand why so many of you are wowed. No real gamer should find this at all surprising its Kojimas master piece people. How could any one be foolish enough to expect anything less other then sheer uncompromising greatness.

Snake in MGS3 is not the same Snake as the one in MGS1/2.  It's Big Boss, the main antagonist in Metal Gear 1 and 2 for the MSX.  It's a great way of giving some backstory and some reasoning for Big Bosses actions in those games.  And the story about The Boss is unbelievable.  It's relatively more straightforward story than the one presented in MGS1/2 (especially MGS2).

And no, the game doesn't head to the present.  It's all about the original Snake aka Big Boss. 

sounds good.

i have a question for mgs2 substance though. where do you find the bombs when your playing as raiden?

IGN is usually pretty good and consistent across platforms, still IMO too harsh with regard to Lair and Super Rub'a'Dub, but maybe US motion controllers were flawed for some reason.

I have seen a lot of anti-Sony from Gamespot though, some of the lowest scores for PS2/PS3/PSP exclusives and non-consistent game criticism in comparison to XBox/XBox 360 console exclusive games (Gears of War score 9.6 / Halo 3 score 9.5 despite of claiming R&C (score 7.5) and Uncharted (score 8.0) have weak story elements significantly dragging down the score (WOW! How to emphasize your bias!), Oblivion scored better on the 360 despite the PS3 version being undisputably superior, etc, I think both versions would have scored lower if the game would have been released on the PS3 first, unless the 360 would have been equally superior as the PS3 version is over the 360 version).

IMO Gamespot has been biased ever since the original XBox launched.
