I hired the game and found it awesome but it doesn't take long to clock since its only a prologue, love you mightyape but even 70 bux is way tu meke for this game, 35 would be good.

While it is true that the ‘main campaign’ is rather short, the gameplay itself is incredibly addictive, challenging, and rewarding. The multitude of side missions and collectible gives the game value enough to justify the price, while the need it creates to play through each mission perfectly, extends the play time to that of any other triple A title.

While the game does require a small level of investment in order to grasp the mechanics properly, you are presented with a game of skill and stealth bound to get your adrenaline pumping.

I heartily recommend.

I am a Metal Gear fan and have been ever since 1999 when I first played Metal Gear Solid (1998). Even though I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with this DEMO, it is NOT worth the asking price. Konami have set an incredibly dangerous precedent with this release and I sincerely hope this form of ‘game drip-feeding’ for $$$ does not set a template for other game studios to follow. If it retailed for $15–25 then I would praise it… But, at the end of the day, is just a glorified DEMO which capitalises on the fans of the series. I tried to cancel my pre-order but obviously I failed to do so.

Gameplay wise – it has taken the Metal Gear franchise to a whole new level, evolving from that of MGS4. I must concede that I have not played any of the Splinter Cell games since the very first one but I can see that there are some mechanics which have been borrowed from SC Blacklist. I cannot compare the two games directly as I have yet to play Blacklist, but from the game play videos I have watched, there are some striking similarities. Metal Gear games have always featured awkward control schemes. However, by looking to its peers in the stealth genre, MGSGZ has taken on board some of their ideas and made them their own.

I am still not sold on games running at 60FPS as I tend to feel it makes games feel less ‘weighty’ and too fluid. I prefer 30FPS as I tend to like latency and a more visceral experience that a lower frame rate tends to bring forth.

I have the PS4 version of the game. This DEMO does however give a great insight to what we can expect when the Phantom Pain gets released in due time. Its just a shame that the asking price was so high and that is through no fault of Mighty Ape.
