To be fair, this as well as most other games that Hideo Kojima had a huge part in are in a genre of their own. Most of them are fairly slow paced, while focusing on graphics and storyline. Definitely need to be a fan of that specific gameplay in order to stick with it, though..

Metal Gear Solid for the original Playstation is still, to this day, a very memorable game for me, and I don't remember most of the games I've played. Unfortunately, after that I didn't really stick with that genre. Years later, I got Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain free with a video card I purchased at the time, thinking it was probably awesome, but couldn't get into it at the time (due to the slow pace, of course). ;)

Regards,
Nick
