MGS4: This Game Is Bananas

I love it, don't get me wrong. I just finished the second act, and I can honestly say I'm having a blast. I never played any of the previous Metal Gears, and I think that is helping my appreciation. I also enjoy stealth games like Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, so that helps too.
 
But this game is completely batshit crazy. Let us count the ways.
 

1. Snake's butt. My special lady is convinced watching Snake crawl around on the floor all day will put me on the other team, if you catch my drift. OpFor as it were.
   
2. I played about ten minutes last night. I watched well over an hour of some completely awesome CG cyborg ninja action along with some less awesome egg preparation.
3. Naomi's outfit. I'm not complaining. It would have given Snake a ripe banana, if he had one. I don't think he does. His lack of a banana is bananas.
   
4. Holy christ the opening live action commercials. P.S. OMG. WTF. B.
   
5. The alert sound. Feels like a throwback. I love it. Bananas.
6. The number of gun variations. Astounding.
7. Meryl's hair. Best if you don't view it from behind. It's a little... texture-y.
8. Sneaking through huge battles. It's a breath of fresh air for me coming off a dozen other games where the goal is to murder everyone. I love it.
   
9. Snake's voice. Serious banana mouth.
   

 
I had to share. If you've recently purchased a PS3 like myself, I recommend going back for this one.
