WOW!!! 
I would like to start off by taking back EVERY negative thing I have EVER said about this game! Not only does it deserves to be in the cannon, it surpasses most of the other ones by a huge margin!
GamePlay - Spoiler Free
All the critics who complain about heavy story can relax. There is FAR more gameplay than cutscenes. In fact, if you were to add up all the cutscenes you MAY get an hour, maybe! So it's all gameplay. And while it moves in a linear fashion of the main story, you never really have to keep going forward. There are a lot of side missions! Most of them you decide to do you yourself to build up your unit. I hit the full 100 men! ;D
Your unit has 4 Sneaking squads (4 people each), Medical squad (8 people), Tech squad (8 people), and Spy Squad (4 people for each area you unlock). It's up to you to get all of them and use them properly according to their abilities. Once you get all of the beefed up, they'll get you ammo, make you gadgets, create rations and meds, locate weapons, and gather data. It's all about the unit, nomore solo crap! VERY inovative, VERY!
There are 6 boss fights. Python, Null, Metal Gear RAXA, Null again, Canningham, and Gene.
Story - MAJOR Spoilers... But how can you NOT look???!!!!
Snake awakens in a cell in an abondoned Russian base in South America. He esapes with the help of Cambell and the two begin to recruit people to stop Gene. Apperently he is planning to lunch nukes against Russia. FOX unit stole the new weapon from the CIA (who were planning to give it to Russia to keep the Cold War going) and are about to use it (wonder what that could be?). Naturally Snake ends up stopping them.
Now, I don't want to type out a long story synopsis, so I'll just give you the HARD ass facts:
*Campbell is you only main radio support, not playable.
*Sigint and ParaMedic only appear a couple of times via Radio.
*Gene was created by the US govenrment to replace the Boss and thus considers himself to be brothers with Big Boss who inherited the Boss title.
*Null, the perfect solder, is a young assassin who is used as a killing machine. The name is Frank Jaeger!!!!!!!!
*Sokolov is back, and he made the new Metal Gear. Gene saved him from Grosnyj Grad. He also is your "secret" radio helper for a while.
*The phsycic Elisa/Ursala (same person, 2 different personalities) has a kickass vision of the future, TX-55, Snake, Liquid... "You will destroy Metal Gear, but the build one. One son will threaten the world, the other will save it." f...ck yeah! AWesome!
*Gene has his own agenda, to build Army Heaven, a place for soldiers.
*When Snake beats Gene, he gives him all the data on Army Heaven, so that Big Boss can create his own vision. Can you say, Outer Heaven!
*Ocelot kills the CIA director at the very end (his only apperance) and takes all the Legacy data, as well as the data on the Philasophers. Now we know how Liquid Ocelot did what he did in MGS4.
*Someone, ONE person, was responsible for seting up this incident, Voligin's nuke, Boss's death, Snake Eater, the Genome project (based on how they made Gene), and working with Ocelot. But the DO NOT say who!!!! Ocelot is talking to that person at the end on the phone... WHO IS IT!!!!!!!
Anyway... just finished the game. What an epic. Loved every second of it. And what I told you... well, that's just the tip of the iceberg. You HAVE to get this game. Get off your ass, get a PSP (forget PS3, 360, and Wii), and play this game!
A TRUE INSTALLMENT IN THE SAGA!!!
