Maybe there's something wrong with me but I found MGS TS the most unplayable pile of crap I've experienced in recent memory. I sat down last night determined to enjoy it as I had failed previously. I'm not criticising it from a production standpoint as it is very slick. The gameplay however is just a complete chore imo. The controls are simply hideous. It seems impossible to be smooth when snake keeps flattening up against walls when you don't mean to, crawling backwards when all you want to do is turn around and not being able to shoot a got damn thing without wasting a whole clip.
It took me literally 30 odd attempts to get past the very first section. All I want to do is kill the friggin guards so I can make my way to the lift but it seems beyond the skills of the bumbling retard snake. When you punch a guard down he gets back up almost immediately no matter how many time you do it. You can't strangle him when you lift the body, instead you have to let him get up, and then sneak up on him again to try the choke which for me fails more often than not, only to be killed again. It really would make sense to be able to kick the enemies to death when they're down, hell that's what I'd do instead of standing there while they get back up and fill you full of holes.
I'm sure this makes me sound completely rubbish at gaming, but I'm generally pretty adept, this game however is behond me.
Apologies for the negative rant but this game really got on my nerves all last night. I don't remember the ps1 version being so damn fiddly and unresponsive.
