It's certainly refreshing to have a game that's long and tough, but doesn't forget that carnage needs to be entertaining before it's inspiring.

Simply stunning to watch.

A far more varied titles than its predecessors.

Utterly essential.

An absolute triumph of level design and wit.

Tense, powerful, and gripping.

It's arcade style handling makes it instantly accessible.

Capcom knows a thing or two about learning curves and each victory is extremely satisfying, even if death scenes last longer than German operas and bosses always do something nasty before they keel over.

Describing it as the "Ultimate Racing Simulator" is perhaps a little too enthusiastic, but it's a damn good game anyway, and more than worth the bargain-bucket price tag.

For those of you embarking on your first mission as Solid Snake this is compelling stuff to complete and cherish.

A superbly crafted game, but it's tough!...This is fluid combat at its absolute best.

All-in-all, a great game. But you must realize what you’re getting into - despite the gloss and the big name it’s still a repetitive hack ‘n’ slash adventure with RPG leanings.
