I haven't played nearly enough to rate it, but so far this game is a disappointment. I like how the stealth works, and the story so far is intriguing, albeit sometimes the cutscenes can drag at times (I'm ok with this since Hideo Kojima put a lot of effort into the characterization), but Metal Gear Solid has some of the worst controls I've used in ANY video game I've ever played. The camera can't be adjusted, and the aiming system for the guns is pretty much designed to get you killed (as though Konami couldn't make the enemies actually dangerous and instead had to make Snake play like a cripple to encourage you to use stealth). It's one thing to die because you legitimately screwed up; it's another to die constantly because you can't properly aim a friggin pistol. This game was made in 1998; it's not like there was no feasible way to make the enemies challenging but still have a good aiming system. I'm shocked that, from what I hear, this is also true with the sequels.
