I'm surprised actually that the LE is hard to find. My friend put a reserve on it in Babbages, but forgot to reserve the LE. He did, however, get Saga vol. 1 for reserving it. So we went there, and they had no LE, so we went to the EB across the way in the mall, and they had like 12 copies of it. So he and I both bought a copy (I don't have Saga, but I really wish I did).
Online mode was pretty fun, although all people were doing was teamkilling half the time. We couldn't really play that well due to the awful lag as well.
The movie was...interesting, yet disappointing. It was arranged in such a fashion that if you had not played the game, you would have no idea what was going on. It also made the game appear incredibly lame. Without the actual badass gameplay, all it really showed to me was how pointless and ridiculous the Cobra Unit was, and how much of an idiot Volgin was. Pretty much half the time I was just insulting Volgin, or someone else. It really drew away the serious tone of the game, and leaves alot of random questions.
Singint's voice appears like near the end of the game, yet you have no idea who he is. Also, near the end, after Snake leaves Graznyj Grad in the game, his outfit changes for like a half hour for no discernible reason. Then it changes back.
The worst part about it really was the "recut" aspect of it. It would have been much better had they just told the story in order. If any normal story goes in the order 1234567, this was 7124365. They jumbled everything up (perhaps attempting a pulp fictionesque style but failing miserably), and again, if you hadn't played the game, you would be utterly confused. I wish it could have been more accessible though, so I could show it to non fans/gamers. I really wish they did that better, as that's why I decided to get it.
What does anyone else with LE think of the movie?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
