Dont get my wrong I'm the biggest MGS freak alive, but this book isnt all that special. Its the exact same story as the first Metal Gear Solid game. The whole Shadow Moses incident. I bought this book intending on it to be a whole new story. A new experiance! However, I cracked back the first page and saw a familiar scene. I skimmed through it real quick. I was dissappointed. What I found was the same story, the same dialog, the same exact thing I lived through 7 years ago when I got the game. There is a tiny amout of dialog added to the story. NOT MUCH THOUGH! Thats about it for differences. Btw Dont think your getting the book in the picture. My cover is blue for some reason. Dont get be wrong. Its not ALL bad. I did give the an "ok" after all. The art is really really pretty. Not the best ever but definately pretty. It does have this crazy Physco Mantis interrigation of Grey Fox. I guess the real reason you should buy this book is to admire the art. If thats not what your after, then its a pass. I did enjoy looking at it. Finished it in about an hour. I just wish it had been less money. Now that you have been warned, the choice is yours.
