Latest Metal Gear is short but sweet

Ever since the release of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, creator Hideo Kojima has been saying that he'll be retiring from the series. Lo, and behold after four main games into the series, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is here. A teaser to the full and what once again maybe the last game into the series, Ground Zeroes is an expensive tease of more to come.

Released as a standalone product, Ground Zeroes offers gamers Konami's highly touted graphics engine, Fox Engine. As the prologue/prelude to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Ground Zeroes provides a glimpse of the tactical espionage action world of MGSV.

The game is ridiculously short. Compared to the appromixately 20-hour single-player playthroughs of the previous Metal Gear games, players can finish this whole game in about two hours.
