I loved MGS3, I bought it recently for like $10 and played through it. I had a blast.
It's confusing at first until you get used to it (I got used to it right after the fight with Ocelot). Had no problem sneaking around after that.
I don't know why you say battle is too complex, it's exactly the same as it was in MGS2. There are like 4 new moves and you don't need to use any of them. Also, you shouldn't need a laser. The sight works perfectly as it is a video game and you don't need to compensate for things like distance or strong winds. Suck it up, wimp
I suspect you never went for Big Boss status in MGS2? It required that you turn off the radar! That was awesome :thumbsup: but I do want to play the Gamecube remake of MGS, I heard it was great (the PSX graphics sucked but the game was still fun)
The game definitely gets better as it goes on. The storyling becomes more complex, and Snake turns into the ultimate badass. I love this game because it is like playing as James Bond during the Cold War. Even the music is a reminder to those old movies. Also, the final battle is one of the greatest last boss battles of all time.
