That and Peacewalker. I think it's more important if you've played MGS3 though as a lot of what happened in Peacewalker is reviewed and then expanded upon. Big Bosses' timeline is what I'm most familiar with, and it's a hell of a lot more interesting than Solid Snake's. A lot of the story is tucked away in to cassettes, so if you're just in it for the game it shouldn't really be that big of a deal, as long as you have some general idea of what's happened. For a MGS game it's pretty lax on the cut scenes, but just a warning, it's incredibly dark for one too. Rape, torture, children soldiers, genocide, it's got some quirk to it (namely one line near the end which I had a double take to), but it's pretty straight laced for a MGS game.

I really, really enjoyed it (even if I read most of the lore and played only MGS3). It just gets really depressing towards the end, almost to the point where I kind of don't want to pick it up for awhile.
