Yeah I REALLY enjoy graphic novel style games/movies, where you can pause it at anytime and make that a frame.
 
Most of the characters are old characters. Youll be wondering who they are and why they react the way they do to snake. It would still make a good game though.

Before playing it may be a good idea to watch the cutscenes of the old games on youtube, especially mgs3 and mgs1. Or watch the first 2 parts of this for a very simplified synopsis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM-MFzmWmPY

Hours upon hours of brilliant game play!

FWIW I have Stealth. Unlimited Ammo. Beat on Boss Extreme. 0 Alerts. 0 Kills.
 
It's hard for me to say if you've never played any other Metal Gear Solid. I also have to disclose that this is probably my favorite series ever.

Jesus, what a game though. It is so, so, so, so good. I think every PS3 owner should have this title - I can't imagine a video game being more well made than MGS4.
