in my opinion, this is thee best video game EVER.  a game that encourages you NOT to shoot but instead to sneak around.  very chilling, exciting, fun and entertaining.  you play solid snake, a combo of bond and snake pliskin character type.  you enter the enemy compound to do many tasks(i would rather not spoil the fun by telling anything to ruin your fun).  let me say, if you do not own this and you like games and you like spy games or games of this nature then YOU NEED THIS and will not be disappointed.  it is a great storyline and an awesome game which make for good and intersting fun all around
