Seriously, what's not to like? Swappable camo, a lot of weapons, neat gadgets, a wound/healing system that makes sense, a support staff that doesn't annoy the hell out of you (I was laughing my ass off at some of the conversations we had), an interesting close quarters fighting system, tons of easter eggs, and a plot that actually makes the other games make sense.
Plus I clocked in at 27 hours, easily twice MGS 1/2 - and the vast majority of that is actual gameplay, not Codec story-time.
If you haven't yet, check it out, it owns. Play MGS 1 and 2 first so you appreciate it more, though.

But then at the end the revelation was simply awesome, because I hadn't spent any time trying to second-guess the plot or identities or anything. I also liked the tidbits of info on the Philosphers (a.k.a. the Patriots) and how it helped explain the end of MGS2 somewhat. But going back to Big Boss, I think the game did a good job of explaining how he eventually lost his way later in the series (i.e. he saw everything as being part of a mission and didn't care as much about the morality of said mission)
