Metal Gear Rising 10 Year Anniversary

[J4MES OX4D 10,057]

Tomorrow (Feb 19th) is Metal Gear Rising's 10 year anniversary and I've been revisiting it last couple of days. It still holds up as one of the most pulsating and entertaining games out there and has aged like fine wine. Also received a massive following which isn't bad considering this was just a spin-off by Platinum Games of Hideo Kojima's classic Metal Gear brand. The game still looks and plays remarkably and the soundtrack is sensational!

Which one was this in the series? I never played many of them in the middle but was interested in the back story of Raiden through the early games.

It fits in around 4 years after the events of MGS4 but it's not narrative-driven like your typical Metal Gear title - more of a focus on combat and mechanics and the story takes somewhat of a backseat which is a nice change of pace. I think the best we're gonna get with Raiden's backstory is what we got in MGS2 sadly.
