    This Review is in Spanish:

    Es un excelente juego. No entiendo porque la gente se queja que es muy difícil, Aunque al principio del juego si es un poco difícil entre mas avanzas mas fácil . Yo He jugado toda la saga de Metal Gear y ene lo personal este juego si es un Metal Gear. Pero para no spoilearles la historia solo les muestro el puntaje que le doy. El unico Defecto que le pongo es el modo multijugador. Que no es tan bueno como el modo de un jugador. Pero si me gustaron las misiones PODA. Que consisten en infiltrarte en la base de otro jugador. Recomiendo este juego. Le doy un 10 ya que el multijugador es opcional.

    Historia;10/10

    Gameplay:10/10

    Multijugador: 7.5/10

    It plays very nice on ps3. Not the best graphics, but awesome gameplay still there. But this game has another problem. Its unfinished. TheresIt plays very nice on ps3. Not the best graphics, but awesome gameplay still there. But this game has another problem. Its unfinished. Theres two chapter, but chapter 2 is short and reuses missions from chapter 1. I think konami said kojima "finish this already, we gonna bankrupt", and they seperated, so konami used chapter 1 to finish it. So, if you are long time fan, you will love chapter 1 so much. But Chapter 2? Wait for Death Stranding instead. Thank you kojima for all Mgs games before. Not fan of your stories, but great gameplay ideas and funny presentation everytime. Thank you. Expand

    I play mgs1,2,3,4G,5GZ,5TPP and Pw and this is the best in Gameplay, its very good i play the game like 600 hours and have a lot of mechanics

    But the history its pretty disappointing the character are **** and the Ocelot in this game its too much boring quiet is bad Code talker, miller.

    Skull face its the worst enemy in mgs series and the boss fight its very bad quiet its easy sahelantropus got a stupid fight and the skulls are boring

    But the game its good , not for a 10 but for a 8.0-8,5 yes
    And the version of ps3 its very stable 25-30 fps and the graphics its good for a ps3

    Gameplay: 6.5/10 Good at the start but becomes boring fast, lifeless open world where you grind for resources to develop your motherbase whichGameplay: 6.5/10 Good at the start but becomes boring fast, lifeless open world where you grind for resources to develop your motherbase which is a series of empty platforms that allow you to build new gadgets that have little use other than mess with the less than stellar enemy A.I.

    Sound: 4/10 In a game where you can choose to go guns blazing, you'd expect sound designers to record some actual guns instead of somebody hitting synthetic drums, almost every gun sounds awful and detracts from the experience.

    Story 3/10 What MGS series was all about. TPP has only a couple great moments like the hospital portion and the other decent bits are diluted between the many repetitive missions the game forces you to do.
    Characters are the weakest in the whole series by far, even makes you wonder If this was really "directed and written by Kojima", and they are not just bad by MGS game standards.
    All the 10/10 reviews must be from clueless newcomers to the series who are not true MGS fans.
