    A great demo

    The first thing to know about this game is that it's really short, that said, there isn't much else that I had a problem with.

    The AI was interesting, at points it seemed really smart, following me to hiding spots and flushing me out. There were also spots where I assume the AI couldn't reach so I would just be completely ignored while sniping NPCs all over the map.

    The story was pretty good, maybe a bit confusing, felt like it was pulled out of the middle of another game.

    This is the first Metal Gear I've played since MGS1, it was much better than I was expecting and now I'm really looking forward to the next game.

      The most jaw-dropping thing about Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is its brevity. Despite all its brilliance, Metal Gear is known most for the cinematic leanings of its creator, Hideo Kojima. It came to a head during Metal Gear Solid 4, which reached amazing highs in gameplay, narrative, and fan-boyish nostalgia, but was laced with overly long interstitials crammed with far too much exposition.From the moment Ground Zeroes opens, things have changed. It’s no more than a few minutes of sc...
