This game has what I would consider one of the best main story arcs told in a MGS game (very close behind MGS3). It deals with Big Boss, how he dealt with the events of MGS3, the MFS, and events that lead right into V.
So really for such a key game, it needed to deliver, and it definitely did. I love games but rarely do they put me on the edge of my seat when a cut scene starts, where as Peace Walker accomplishes not only that, but also combines it with very fun missions and extra ops that all lead to improving your base, which in turn gives you better items and weapons, which in turn helps you do those missions better.
It's a fun ecosystem where everything feeds each other and it becomes highly addictive and where as most addictive things you keep doing, for no reason other than them being addictive, here you have reasons like seeing the story and improving your base. So it never feels grindy and you really do feel like you are running the MFS.
I'll be honest and say after MGS4, I fell just a little bit out of love with MGS but this game reminded me why I love the series. Combining a compelling story, half based in reality, half fiction, with characters well defined and boldy presented, and gameplay that intertwines the game with the story design flawlessly. Hideo reminded me just how much of a genius he is.
This game came at a great time for me, as now I am awaiting MGSV with full hype.
Overall, I loved my time with PW and nothing is worth noting down as a negative so really it was an EXCEPTIONAL game,
10/10.
