MGS3: Snake Eater impressions/reviews thread

[OB1]

There's a nice Kojima interview up at IGN, and he mentioned something that sounded exactly what I said earlier in this thread.

Here's what I originally wrote:

Not having a radar is actually an improvement, I think. I always thought that the radar made the games too easy, and you often looked at the radar instead of the main game while running around. Having a radar in lush jungle landscapes would kind of defeat the purpose, you know? The AP detecter or more than enough.

And here's what Kojima said:

Kojima: The series was turning into a radar game where you just pay attention to the radar and not use your visual senses or listening. That's what I wanted people to depend on instead of the radar so in the jungle I wanted people to listen to the grass moving or noise and so that's why I got rid of the radar.

Makes me feel good that I was thinking the same way as Hideo Kojima. :D
