The Metal Gear Solid Graphic Novel is a a comic retelling of The Metal Gear Solid game for Playstation. The comic adds small bits of extra information and events that weren't in the original game. This UMD experience is good for road trips or other boring events. This movie isn't exciting to view, it isn't an experience you will be choosing over one of the other Metal Gear "Games" on the PSP. With it being a comic, everything must be read, that's a no duh concept. However, unless your a killer fan this is a watch once and send it back. This is more of a piece of memorabilia than a solid addition to the series.
What adds a small bit of extra life to the digital comic is that most comic frames can be paused and searched for hidden items in the images. Finding these images unlocks them for digital linking in the memory database portion of the game. This part hardly makes the story more clear, infact it actually serves to frustrate and break apart the story as your stuck searching for hard hidden items, in order to make sense of the pieces you do have.
Overall I gave the movie a 7 as it's entertaining as a fan item. But truly missing a soul of it's own to make it the metal gear project it could have been.
