I've had my eye on this game since it was released (kind of unavoidable). Since I finally beat Bloodborne, I picked this up immediately. Only $45 on the Playstation Network, ho yeah!
I'm only past the first chapter and maybe a couple checkpoints into the next mission. Impressions so far: holy cut-scenes Batman. From the hospital to escaping by horse, there must have been 90% cinematics and 10% gameplay. I lost count of how many times the character blacked out. Or the flow of the game was interrupted by that big ol' Flamer and the strait-jacket ghost. Every time I thought the chase scene was over, lol nope, you're under pursuit again, now watch another protracted cut-scene. DJ said above that this game actuall CUTS DOWN on the cinematics, so holy shit-balls, I don't know if I'd have the patience for Ground Zeros or Snake-eater. I mean, if the story is just some silly action mashup, what reason is there to pay attention to it? I'd skip the cut-scenes, but I don't want to miss anything... which makes no sense, granted, but my compulsive nature won't allow it.
Now that I got to the first desert level with Revolver Ocelot, I'm having a bit more fun. I love the stealth elements, crawling everywhere. It makes me want to go back to the original, which I never completed. I still have my GameCube, and I could probably find Twin Snakes for cheap.
