The apex of the Metal Gear series and very likely the last game in the saga due to Kojima's departure from the pachinko machine loving reprobates at KONAMI.

The cinematic storytelling is in it's finest form yet with responsive, intuitive and fun gameplay which I haven't ever seen rivaled in any stealth action game so far. The gameplay works well in tight or open environments and there are plenty of ways to make your own mini-stories and have fun just like there were in Peace Walker.

As for it's multiplayer I find it equally enjoyable in that it's well balanced rock-paper-scissors class system is fairly well done, although as with all Eastern games there is little in the way of dealing with hackers beyond leaving and rejoining onto another host.

All in all it's an amazing game in almost every way, the only criticism being that there may be too much to do in a single playthrough, leaving a lot of weapon research undone unless you do FOB missions or replay old stories. But in my opinion that's a good problem to have - too much to do really makes your money feel worthwhile.
