I know its a bit late, but i never had a ps2, and after that skipped on 3 untill few days ago when i got an used ps3 with plenty of games.
I love how much MGS3 is over the top, with Ocelot meowing and such, but man do i miss crouch sneaking and over the shoulder aiming from MGS4
Yeah, it was designed as a top down game first. The behind the back camera was added later. Just don’t think of it as a game where you need to do a lot of moving and shooting at the same time.
