    It may be a prologue, but it’s a damn good one.

    Whether or not this brief glimpse into the future of Metal Gear Solid is worth 20 or 30 bucks is up to you, but I can say without any hesitance that Ground Zeroes displays the biggest evolution of the series seen since the original Metal Gear Solid on Playstation, even if that evolution only lasts for a short, fleeting instant. Bring on The Phantom Pain.

    Ground Zeroes is a tough recommendation. Yes, it contains all of the Metal Gear Solid goodness fans are hoping for, but clocking in at a total of three hours of gameplay (including the side missions) for the $29.99 price tag feels like a developer being presumptuous and arrogant, almost daring a fan to refuse.

    As a potential preview for what Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain might do to revolutionize the series’ classic stealth-action, Ground Zeroes is an intriguing, bite-sized playthrough. As a $30 retail disc and $20 download, however, it’s a concerning, unwelcome step for game development—and it’s nothing close to a complete, finished product.

    Konami should really give a raise to the genius who came up with the idea of selling what is basically a demo version for $29.99. You see, there is only one mission in Ground Zeroes. I was gawking around and taking screenshots, and I still managed to beat it in less than 90 minutes. You can do it in 30 even if you don’t skip the lengthy cinematics.

All the negative reviews are a bunch of idiots that don't even own the game. I beat the game once on normal and I have only completed 10% of the game. Yet there are people on here that say the game is only 90 minutes? LOL
    There is one main chapter and 5 side ops, also there are collectible and lots of things to do in the base on the main mission. The story takes place right after Peace Walker and really leaves you scratching your head and wanting more at the end. If you are a MGS fan THIS game is for you! $20 is a steal for all the content. It is just like peace walker in the sense that you can play tons of extras from the main menu. There are diary entries from Paz, and several other cassettes from Kaz and Huey.
    The only real complaint I see with this game is the length to price ratio, the gameplay is solid and the graphics are amazing considering its on 7 year old hardware. Completely blows any title from last year out of the water even though the main mission is quite short. But with the extra ops, all the collectibles, reputability and extras, this is easily worth the $20 price tag.    … Expand

    Possibly the cheekiest money grabbing ploy in the history of gaming, or in entertainment as I come to think of it. It's still classic MGS butPossibly the cheekiest money grabbing ploy in the history of gaming, or in entertainment as I come to think of it. It's still classic MGS but it's simply not worth the money. It looks amazing, sounds amazing, has an awesome narrative, I mean what's there is simply perfect, it's just ridiculously short. I knew what I was getting into before I bought it, I knew it was a 2 hour campaign, but when it ended my jaw was agape and I honestly said out loud 'Is that it?'. I'm aware there are extra missions now that the game is finished but finding the time to get back to them is pretty hard. Still it is classic Metal Gear but it should've been $10 DLC or free with a pre-order, or free with people who have saves of MGS4. 8/10 down from a 10 due to price and length… Expand

    Konami really needs to thread lightly when altering a 25 year old tried and tested formula...i mean..why fix what is'nt broken? Metal gear hasKonami really needs to thread lightly when altering a 25 year old tried and tested formula...i mean..why fix what is'nt broken? Metal gear has for over 25 years accumulated a dedicated following of fans who love the series for a reason Konami now wants to change....well they should know that if the old fans dont like their "new" direction, no one else will buy into it. While some of the improvements are welcome, like the improved graphics, and increased mobility; the rest of the additions or subtractions only serve to strip the game of its identity....This is a Metal Gear game in name only and not substance....i hope this is not representative of the final product...7/10 is all this....this...."thing" truly deserves.… Expand

    All comments of how good this game plays and how the game feels is instantly negated by the full price sticker of 30 versus the short gameAll comments of how good this game plays and how the game feels is instantly negated by the full price sticker of 30 versus the short game play of 45mins-1hr.

    Who thought spending years on game only to release a game that only goes maybe a hour is a good idea. Don't buy it new its not worth the cost and wait for it to be used price. Like I said game play is very fun and enjoyable but why this game couldn't be expanded further for its price questions gouging from the customer.

    On gameplay is 9 but cost versus game play its easily a 3...Metal Gear V Phantom pain has a lot of expanding to do on this...    … Expand

    past few weeks, I spent hours to complete whole metal gear series (except portable ops, which is dreadful) so I would be ready for the nextpast few weeks, I spent hours to complete whole metal gear series (except portable ops, which is dreadful) so I would be ready for the next installment. GZ arrived and I was aware about the length of the main mission.
    Game itself is amazing with all the new things you can do during the mission. I would recommend it if it wasn't for its biggest flaw..
    Overall whole game took around 5 hours with all the missions done, and that's while being super careful not to screw up. Replay value is basically non-existent unless you really like grinding. There's some unlockable stuff, but nothing that is going to make a difference.
    No matter the price (which seems to be the issue for most) it's just disappointing to end the game just when it seems to get started.
    I can only hope that the DLC code tickets in the game case are going to be worth of something, but so far it only proves that there's going to be day one DLC for phantom pain which is just wrong..    … Expand
