    If you're a fan of this series, you'll probably be picking this up but for newcomers, it may be a difficult choice!

    It’s a terrific little package brimming with options to replay, but it’s not a large play-space by any measure, and there’s not a huge amount of variation on scenery or tone. This one boils down to preference...Just hurry up with The Phantom Pain already, Hideo.

    Ground Zeroes feels a little lean, but the game remains an invigorating, intelligent and interesting return to a series that feels as if it is heading in the right direction.

    Ground Zeroes gives us a good preview of Phantom Pain, but it's too expensive for only few hours of gameplay. It's a good game but is it a good Metal Gear?

    On paper, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes sounds like an elaborate demo. In reality, it's a bigger game than it initially seems. Spend five hours with the game, and you'll be lucky if your completion is even nearing 25%. Play for eight or more, and you'll still be wringing juice out of Camp Omega. Be warned, at face value, this game is small, but there's much more to Ground Zeroes than meets Big Boss' one eye.

And the flaws don't stop there. The graphics are nowhere near what the trailers promised, enemy AI doesn't respond to your helicopter, the game plays out like Michael Bay movie, side missions are 5 minutes long. One of them is a forced on-rails sequence.… Full Review »
