I can see the logic but it still makes for an uninteresting boss fight imo. MGS can go over the top in many ways with great success, but the creativity is lacking in this fight.

Only REX really hit that nice balance of being simple in strategy to beat but you also had to be on your toes cause one wrong move would get you killed.
I agree REX is the best Metal Gear fight (although I haven't played any portable games or the old school titles).
