Would have been an 8

This game could easily have been an 8. The only issue I ran into was that the controls were not very well designed. Using the four keys to the right of the screen for the vertical and horizontal pan/scan did not work in high-intensity cover/shoot situations.

Beyond that, the game was great in the typical Metal Gear standard.

Rigor Mortis

The rather limited size of the handheld seriously cramps your sneaking ability for the PS2 hit MGS:SE.

If you've played the original, you can see how the PTA camera control has you being spotted almost immediately while you put on your best form.

A solid 7, because they were actually able to get MGS:SE on a handheld.

Although I love my 3DS and enjoy MGS games on other platforms. This particular game just did not port well to the 3DS. The small low res screen blurs subtle detail (like soldiers in the distance) and makes the game an exercise in frustration. definitely a rental but not a keeper.
I am hoping the PS Vita port will be more playable.
