yeah The cutscenes are long but for the most part, interesting to watch. It does feel like an interactive movie though. STILL...The actual game is Fun and I have had some fun with the online play as well.

Anyone finish it yet?

I can only say... wow.

This is an excellent game, it may not be perfect, but those small things are quickly overcome after seeing the whole picture.

I have personally not finished a game in a while, I usually abandon them in the middle because of lack of interest or because they are plain unplayable.

If you have a PS3, you NEED to play this game and finish it. May not be for everyone, I thought I'd hate it... but I'm just astonished as how much I enjoyed it.

BTW, if anyone has not played the previous games... this is a very cool 6-chapter retrospective: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/674...FeaturesAnchor

Better stop posting before I have the urge of start discussing the game spoil for other... hehehe!

How is it online?
Doolittle

Online is fun but slow to me, not as fluid as lets say call of duty 4.
I have only played team death match and some games I immediately respawn and some I have to wait until the match is over. I have noticed that it is set up like counter strike in that you buy your weapons at the beginning, and I am guessing that both teams only have so many spawns so that when you use them up, you have to sit out the rest of the game. I need to play the other variants to really give a good opinion.
You have to sign up with konami and make a game I.D and a game I.D, its a little frustrating to get going.

The online set up process is a little painful... you have to create a Konami ID, then a Game ID, then a character name, etc. Also both IDs have to be different, with specific characters, and all in lower caps.

Then you set up your character, not many customizable options there either, but not bad. After all that process I just turned the PS3 off.

I have read on comments left by users on reviews that Metal Gear Online sucked.... but I don't know first-hand yet though.

I meant to say konami ID and game ID

I heard that you can only have one character, and to have anymore its like $6 to purchase another one? Or 4 more or something like that,,didn't catch the specifics of its. I'm still contemplating this one, I went to gametrailers and watched the retrospective,,,which reminded me of why I loved the first MGS game so much, but also why I didn't play more than about 20 minutes of the second one...and it also left me even more confused about what the hell the story is about than ever hehe. Gonna d/l the "MGS database" on PSN later and check that out,,still planning on renting, but might give in and buy it if my interest finds something more to feed its energy.

Yeah, it is only 1 free character for Metal Gear Online... don't know about the specific of purchasing more. Not that it matters though, the only thing you can change are the way the character looks and the type of voice.

I downloaded the DB too... seems pretty cool.

The Data base is cool but they could have done better with the online play and whole ID thing. I don't see the advantage of creating another character for online play though and I would not pay for it.

well I took the plunge, bit the bullet ..etc etc. Picked up MGS 4 yet, but haven't poped it in to play it. Also picked up the MGS essential collection since they had it, figure I may as well learn the story the old fashioned way instead of trying fit the pieces of the puzzle together hehe.

the sign up process for the multiplayer sounds like a severe pain the *** to me,,dunno if I'll bother with it any or not.
