Have you played the previous MGS games? I'm guessing if you liked them than you will like this one.

Would it be unreasonable to ask the wife for a PS3 to go along with our Wii, XBox 360, PS2 and Gamecube? Oh, and PSP and Gameboy Advance? I've playing the Blu ray angle for some time now, but I am afraid to spring the final part of the plan just yet.

I really like it. I get wrapped up in the MGS games more than I do anything else. There is a MG "encyclopedia" download in the Playstation Store that breaks down the whole series into timelines and a searchable database. It's hard to keep track of everything, the download helps.

On the flipside, I'm a little disappointed with Metal Gear Online. I have no right to complain since it was a free add-on, but I can't get into it.

How I wish I could play this game... I was disappointed with the two PS2 sequels, but I loved the original PlayStation game. How close does MGS4 come to matching the first game's brilliance?

I agree.

The original PS1 game is one of the best of all time. The PS2 ones, not so much.

I was the other way around. MSG was ok for me and I loved the 2 and 3. I'm probably not halfway in yet, but there have been some throwbacks to the first game. It is definitely a continuation of the lineage for better, or worse in your case.

MGS1 was pure brilliance.
MGS2 was a gigantic let down (Raven. Seriously?)
MGS3 was really good too. The whole camo thing was fun.

I've loved all of them, except the original release of MGS3

The camera sucked and it was nearly impossible to tell if somebody was around from far away.

They rereleased MGS3 as Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. This version is awesome, it uses the same open camera as MGS4, plus as a huge bonus both the original MG and MG2 never before released in the US are on the disc.

The only one I've gotten is MGS2, and haven't gotten one since. My roomate ended up playing more than I. I would be curious to try it again, but no PS3.

The camera in MGS 3 did suck. I never got subsistance, so I don't know how it changed.

Ive got a 360, but I'm thinking about getting a ps3. I really want this game though
