Metal Gear Solid:GZ Review *Spoiler Free*

Well they certainly werent lieing, the story mission can be beaten in short time. Did so today and even though I suck at being Snake and got a Rank D on the mission it was a lot of fun to play. Now because it short, dont write this game off. They did side ops to do so that you more to play then just the 1 story mission. Also if you plan to play the actual Phantom Pain game this would be crucial to play and finish beforehand. You will prolly get lost in the beginning of the next game if you dont. I would think if there giving you the beginning with this, they wont give much in backstory in Phantom Pain. I could be wrong though, Its just worth playing, trust me ^_^. The game also has a backstory option on the main menu for events that took place before if your like me and you havent played the other games yet. Its 11 pages long that summarizes previous events and I found it worth reading.

Now gameplay wise, its great. It plays smooth and the A.I. while can be dumb on occasion they are def improvement compared to previous games in the stealth/shooter category. Switching between weapons is fast  and the aiming mechanic is def sharp and controlled well. I didnt mess up to many times on clicking wrong buttons but the con is that for PS4 users, the actual pause screen is the corner of the motion button. The options button brings up the game menu for like your map and stuff. It looked great on the PS4 so if you are a PS4 owner I say grab it on that. My last pointhere is: The game really makes you think, bad choices can land you in a tough spot. I like that because they dont sit here and baby you. You really gotta plan your next move or trouble will be on your ass.

Just update it with the patch before you really delve into it. I went through bad glitch storm when I didnt do it.

I personally recommend this game and its technically suppose to be priced at

PS3/360-19.99

PS4/Xbone-29.99

If you see this game at other prices dont buy it.They lowered the price before launch because it  is short which I think was nice of them to do. I kept it spoiler free so no one gets upset. If you  think me telling you its short is a spoiler then we need to discuss what spoilers are and find a meeting point to agree on,lol!

Excited to have Phantom Pain released. Ill def be buying it to finish the story!

Oh wow, you really need to play them. They're among my favorite games (maybe even things) ever.

Once I finish up what I am currently working on playing I will definitely be playing this game.  In fact it is in my disc drive as we speak...

I hope you enjoy it too like I did, it was really good even though it is short story wise.

I'll keep this in mind If I ever get the game, even though I'm terrible at stealth games.

I certainly was not the best with snake, I got a rank D on it. I just keep playing missions and stuff on games like this to improve.

Yeah it's good to hear you enjoyed this. I want to wait until I have a PS4 to buy so I'm kinda hoping they release a boxed set including Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes eventually. I'm guessing they will but if not i'll grab this at the same time as PP. As for being lost story wise if you skip this game, have MGS games ever made sense on the first playthrough Tongue Out

I didnt even think of that but yea, maybe they will bundle them together. This is ....my first MGS game. I know,  im breaking a crime here but I just never got ahold of them games soon enough. The Vita does have a HD collection so Im aiming to get that and play it.

I highly recommend the HD collection. Two great games, especially if you catch the MGS bug hard

I forgot this game was released. I heard about it being really short, but I'd give it a try...but I do need to take on 3 and 4 first, or at least try them.
