The editors didn't like
Excessive cutscenes makes it feel like a directors cut
Game doesnt encourage sneaking as much as it could
Writing could be better (and boss fights
As noted)
Drebin fundamentally changes the core MGS experience
Metal Gear Online is hindered by a clunky interface and reliance on the PlayStation Network.
Storytelling is heavyhanded
The singleplayer experience ends.
At times you might feel like you want a little game with your cutscenes
But you can always skip the cutscenes if you just want to get back into the action. The load time of roughly 3 minutes between each act might annoy some players
Especially given the...
Eventually it has to end
Not enough gameplay
Cutscenes are a tad too long at times
That thing with the install time isn’t funny Kojima Productions (you’ll see what I mean).
Camera angle is a little awkward
Elements in the environment hinders snake’s ability to use a sniper rifle and even the Solid Eye. The game also has way too many flashbacks and zoom ins that often mute the important information during briefing sess...

Fantastic blend of stealth and action. Great dramatic story. Amazing graphics and very well directed in-game cutscenes. Varied and eye-popping environments. Lots of unlockable music and costumes. Great fan service.
Cutscenes may be too long for some. Boss fights while fun arent very challenging. Long and confusing sign-up process for multiplayer. We may never be seeing Solid Snake again.
