I liked 0. Even if Rebecca does die when she gets sneezed on...and even though it didn't explain jack crap about much.
I sort of don't want to put this game in, but I'm going to anyway. I should say... I loved Metal Gear Solid 3 a lot. I really do. The ending is the best ending to any game ever in my opinion. But there were aspects of it that disappointed me. For one, I have the older version with thecamera that makes sure you can't see anything. And for a large portion of the game I found the plot to be...very good, but not as thrilling as the first two.
I think it was the lack of explanation for the Cobras and a huge cut on the Codec stuff. It gave me a large feeling that Kojima and company decided to cut down on a lot of plot threads, like villain backstories, to make the cutscenes less overbearing for whiney folk. But I love cutscenes, so yeah... I want huge codec conversations and lots of talking about how the Fear can go all spider because he had sex with Spider-Woman or whatever. Ah well...it still rocks, it's just aspects of it. Small aspects, that's all I'm saying.
But I actually liked a lot of what Final Fantasy X-2 had to offer, so as you can see my opinion is not really in sync with everybody else's and should not be listened to.
