Audio:
First when I started the game, I right away felt like I had to plug some real speakers in, instead of the original craps, as it seems that the game was not developed for the original speakers, more likely headphones or better speakers. That of course means that the audio is great! (Please keep in mind that this is my opinion, not facts) The music always fits the situation, one thing is still missing! Where, oh where is the speech?

7/10

Graphics:
The graphics are, pretty nice. Explosions are OK, gun shots are the classic MGS style, characters are only a little enchanced from the first PC MGS, wich, I say are pretty fine after all. All kinds of details in the areas, like exploding barrels, with the OK looking explosions mentioned before.

8/10

Gameplay:
I would call this a very 'tactical' game

every weapon attack is said in numbers, the odd that it hits, amount and type of bullets.

This is the type of game I like, as you can see from the numbers I give for it. The better you do in the missions, the more points you get, with points you can buy new cards to your card deck, as 'packs' like the first pack is MGS1 pack, wich includes classical MGS1 weapons and stuff. Gameplay is pretty good, unlikely what you would think about 'card based' MGS...
7/10

Overall:
As the game is tactical, I let the score be too. An average of the above, (that is the way I want tactical stuff to be, mathematical

) that makes...
7,33/10
