Whether you're new to the series or you've been with it since the start, you've never had a Metal Gear Solid experience like this.
I love this game for the simple fact they got it right. The game is fun, and highly re-playable. It's awesome to get a preview build taste of what is to come in the full version of the game that won't be out for possibly another year.
I also was a fan of the 29.99 price point. I think more game companies could benefit from this format with marquee titles.
