I'm 15 or so hours into the game right now, and it's unbelievable how much bigger the game is than MGS1 and 2 combined. The story hasn't gotten crazy yet, but it never does in Metal Gear until towards the end (I've still got a ways to go) so I can't comment on that yet. The graphics are incredible (wait until you see one certain boss area... holy-I-wish-Fable-looked-this-good), the new gameplay mechanics make it the best stealth game ever, and the music is even better than the last two games'. Man I love this game. It's now my second-favorite PS2 title, right under ICO.
