is cuter than you
I played this on Saturday - at least, the first fifteen minutes of it or so until I couldn't stand to play it anymore. I'm guessing it has to get better after that point, because I was bored to tears. (And this comes from someone who even greatly enjoyed MGS2.)
Part of the problem is the stupid MGS camera. Not being able to see what's ten feet in front of you when you had a scanner that showed enemies in your area wasn't so bad. Have that same overhead camera with no more scanner, and things suck real quick. I like the lack of the scanner, but for god's sake, fix the camera then to something more like Splinter Cell or something so I can see what's going on around me.

TNL Legend.
I had the same experience - got extremely frustrated at first, but after going back a few times you start to get into it. Keep at it, you'll get the hang of it.Originally Posted by shidoshi

It's in the swampland north to the factory where you found Sokolov during the Snake Eater mission.
Dippity-Do!
Cool. I'll have to pick it up on my second time through.
What a fantastic game. It made me want to go back and replay MGS and MGS2. So far, I've completed Twin Snakes, and SoL is next. Then I'll play Snake Eater again.
can't wake up
I just bought this game tonight. Itll give me something to do for the next week or so. I will post my impressions later.

We anxiously await.

Are you saying that you can move around in first person? If so, I didn't know that when I was palying.
And I don't see the problem with how games like Splinter Cell do it. I mean, even games aren't 100% realistic, I should still be able to see what is in front of my character more than a few feet out. It's the same problem with Resident Evil - a cheap way to make the game more "dramatic."

No, only when in intrusion mode (i.e. in crawl spaces or when crawling through bushes).
I think any problems people have with the camera in Metal Gear games are based on a lack of understanding of how the game was designed. The camera is chosen and placed in every situation by Kojima and sons. Everything about the levels is designed to work with the camera they give you. It works flawlessly; the camera never spazzes out or gets caught on objects, doesn't ever get smashed between Snake and a wall. The challenges of each individual area are developed around the camera they give you, so complaints about the camera are just complaints about the difficulty.And I don't see the problem with how games like Splinter Cell do it.

Nope, you can't move in 1st person.
I can see why the radar thing would bug, but if you could move in 1st person, it would be just another generic FPS and no one would take the time to sneak. Camera sucks at times, and could have been improved, but could have been worse as well.
