I stopped playing after the second one, must delve further into the madness
at some point. Agree wholeheartedly though. It's completely bonkers but
absurdly great fun. A man possessed by the amputated arm of the twin clone
of his mortal enemy, working for an Illuminati-esque organisation called,
exclusively to another man whose brain has been altered, the
La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo. And that's not even a whole strand of the tapestry.
Ultimately though, I think Kojima's ideal MGS game would consist of
pressing one button over and over to move from cut-scene to cut-scene.
