Review: 
You take control of snake, not Solid Snake, but Naked Snake. (Warning: Spoilers later on) Your in a whole new (older) Era, being set decades before MGS 1. You are participating in a mission during the "Cold War" called "Operation Snake Eater", Fighting against Russians-because we all know everything is better with Russians. Ocelot makes a return... prequel role, where he does strange things like meow loudly into the sky, but still manages to be pretty awesome. You fight against rogue betraying agent "The Boss" not to be confused with "Big Boss"- Solid's Daddy. This game still features the overhead camera set up where the developers want you to look from, but you are given a little bit of breathing room as you can move that back and forth a bit, adding to the area you can see when your not in First Person View. This game features a new system for snake-previously implemented on bosses in MGS 2- called "Stamina". If you run or flip too much, or just from being in the field for too long, you lost stamina, and have to regain it with food. Low stamina results in slower healing, so its important to watch out for. You have to catch food by shooting or stabbing snakes and frogs, or fruit from trees. A real Solo Survival mission. This turned out to be really fun to do. I loved the realism and activity that it added to the game. This game introduces one of my favourite boss fights against an enemy called "The End". A full-on sniper battle. You have to move around slowly and try to pin point this really old patient sniper, while he does the same to you. It is one of the best boss fights ever. It is not supremely difficult- disregarding the cliché MGS overpowered bosses- just keep in mind there are goodies to get if you play it right. In MGS 3 you get bonuses for defeating enemies without killing them- I.E. Tranq guns and the like- and an added bonus, if you are able to sneak up on The End and old him up from behind, you are awarded a very special prize. And now for the spoiler! If you ever thought to yourself "I enjoy MGS as a series, but I'm not sure about this new 'Snake Eater' game"...PLAT IT! You are BIG BOSS! You are the legendary hero, in his prime, well before he is cloned into Solid and Liquid. When I realized who it was, I jumped out of my seat with a shriek of pure Fan-orgasmic joy. And I have no shame in this. This is one of the best in the Metal Gear series, and when I'm done with them all ill give a list of order in which I think they are the best. With good graphics, the requisite amount of cut-scenes and dialogue, and somewhat improved game-play and controls, this Metal Gear game is one of the best. Offering a more in depth look at the series' storyline and inner workings, the world just continues to grow in depth and richness.

Asinine Characters List;
Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin
Volgin is a buff-as-shit Russian with the (never explained) ability to produce up to 10 million volts of electricity from his body and output it. He does this with bullets in hand to shoot them, and sometimes encases his body in a...web?...of it to block bullets. This is explained as a "physical anomaly"...Seriously? He also has enhanced strength to the point of knocking people back 10-20 ft if not more,which also carries no explanation like 'nano-machines'. I want to mention that he is homosexual, not because I am against homosexuals, but because he grabs snakes crotch and I AM against that. He has the makeup to be a really cool character, but where he fell short was in the lacking of WHY he was so bad-ass. I don't like that. So he gets my Asinine Character shutout even though no one in this game royally pissed me off like Vamp, Liquid, or Reaver.

Note:
I would recommend this game to everyone. I love it and so should you!
