Got this in the steam sale,it looks a lot of fun,but wtf with the lazy port ? There are almost no instructions about the controls if you are using mouse/keyboard,no ability to assign buttons ,really shoddy stuff.
I just had to download a guide to what keys do what ,so irritating when you see good game spoilt by lazy ports.

At first it took me a while to get used to how they've changed MGS into a sandbox game, but now I have, I can say for sure this is a censored truly brilliant game! Its still jam packed full of sweet little touches and weird quirks like every MGS (and Silent Hill) game, and still feels IMO, 100% like MGS. The way they've got real 80's music playing on ghetto blasters is a great touch man, theres just something special about sneaking through a heavily guarded base to extract a POW, then 'True' by Spandau Ballet starts playing. Somehow it fits perfectly with sneaking around, knocking people out and makes it feel like you're playing through the scenes of a movie.

The gameplay feels really solid too, its all really intuitive and only has a few rough edges that are easy to forgive. The writing and voice acting is SPOT on too, it makes you really feel for the characters and the struggles they're going through. Yea, I guess this'll be the last REAL MGS, but atleast they went all out with their final stab at the series! I can hardly think of anything I really don't like about the game, and that, is fking rare in this generation of games!
Not impressed with how the later missions are copies of other ones and include the same cut scenes which don’t make sense in the context of the story .
