CGM Reviews: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Another console generation, another return of one of the great console heroes, Snake. More specifically Naked Snake/Big Boss, the hero of Metal Gear Solid III: Snake Eater and the Peacewalker game on the PSP. Snake, his creator, Hideo Kojima and the entire MGS franchise are one of the larger properties in gaming, ranking right up there with Mario and Sonic in terms of fan base and recognisability. Now we have a new game in the series, only its not quite a game. Some, diplomatically, will call it prologue, while others, less diplomatically, will call it a glorified demo that Konami is charging money for. So Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes brings with it not the standard fanfare of a new instalment in a fan-favourite franchise, but many questions about just how much MGS is enough to pay for. The answer to that depends on how much of a fan you are.
