Beat the game yesterday! (on easy
... it was only meant to be a "test run" but I just kept going and going.. well since I got the hang of it, i'll just skip right to "hard" or "very hard" mode next time)
The good news is that the game is still very enjoyable, and more importantly, it left me with the same feeling the orignal left me with after I beat it.
That feeling that you've just experienced something epic. You think to yourself; "wow, Snake came a long way, and went through a whole lot on that mission." The people he met, those he killed, and those that died before his eyes.. the entire aftermath of the experience just hits you after while credits roll with real-life footage of Alaska and the asian soundtrack "the best is yet to come" playing in the background.
(ha.. I just sat here for about 3 hrs writing some general impressions, only to delete virtually everything I just wrote because I though the post seemed too long.. I must be nutz
