Yeah, I don't know if it was that good either, but if you are involved in the story line, it was pretty damned epic. I've played every game in this franchise, down to Metal Gear on Famicom, and while I still get confused by the ridiculous intricacy of the story all the way through, and some of the characters overlap and whatnot, but this franchise as a whole is so damned awesome. I love it.
Top 5 Moments:
5)MGS3 - The Ladder. What a fantastic moment---the longest ladder climb in any game I've ever played, but you don't mind because of the Snake Eater theme, so poignant.
4)MGS4 - Opening chapter, when Solid poses like a statue with his hand on the actual statue's penis.
3)Beating MGS1 with no kills, no deaths, no alert phases. Started the OCD windfall. I have to do this with every one of these games now.
2)Fission Mailed. Nuff said.
1) MGS1, at Shadow Moses, Psycho Mantis boss. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to beat him. He was telling me about how I like to play Madden and Gran Turismo, and I was like WHAT? I called up Mei Ling on the Codec, and she suggests that he can read your memory card. You have to switch to controller port 2 to beat him! Fantastic!

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
