It absolutely fucking slaps and the game is a powerful expression of style as a means of capturing a particular mood. It's not just the soundtrack, it's the animations, the ridiculous characters, the absolutely bonkers set-pieces. It's that same shit that makes JoJo so good. Just reveling in audacity.
I think its some of platinums best work, it both understands and loves the metal gear world while also being somewhat of a parody of it. Captures the absurdity and audacity of Kojimas work and turns it up to a million. Every single song being tailored for the boss and hinting at their back story and made to fit the exact mood of the fight. And the simple yet satisfying attack focused combat. Oh and they actually made Raiden cool.
The game actually made me go and play bayo, vanquish, dmc etc but nothing ever hit the spot the same way as good as those games are. Hifi rush comes close
Hi-Fi Rush pretty clearly draws a lot of influence from MGR. IIRC there's even a moment where Chai cracks open a big robot like the MG Ray in the intro to Rising.
