Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots *Snaaaaake! Edition*

I think it's more the uncompressed sound they use that takes up the disc. They also have a few full HD, probably uncompressed video sequences. Dual layer blu ray man... pretty insane stuff right there. The disc actually feels noticeably thicker than single layer too.
 
Just finished the game, took me 20hours. I would seriously love to get all the MG games and play them in their proper chronological order!

You should, the controls aren't as good as MGS4 but overall it's still one of the best series of games ever made and I think the old games still hold up fairly well.

If I was playing MGS4 without playing the previous games I wouldn't have understood the story very well. There are also lots of amazing moments that Kojima makes referring to the old games that I love in it that probably didn't make very much sense for you. I would play them in order and play MGS4 again if you enjoyed playing through it.
 
mgs1 was cool in that it was so fast paced, even when you're sneaking you can quite easily do most stuff at full speed and still not get caught :D

apart from mgs3 the whole series had very sedated opponent AI it is the only thing that lets it down, if the AI was set at a realistic standard (i.e. guards equal in combat strength, bar CQC skills, then i believe it would have seriously broken new grounds in terms of pushing the player to the limits) the interface of the game is so unique, seriously what other games have even dared to mimic this, it's incredibly fluid and lifelike if played correctly... the only game that compares and possibly takes even further in the goal of player immersion is/was resident evil 4. the mgs series however is superior though only because it offers you a vision of what a truly interactive fictional world that you can both be guided into whilst simultaneously interact with. the freedom offered in these games is a near perfect balance between story telling entertainment and interactive ambition....

brilliant, just brilliant!
