No doubt, Zimmerman must have loved his work on Liquid Ocleot. I kind of like the hamminess of the characters. When you look in-depth the Metal Gear series is very realistic and true-to-life (Kojima knows his stuff), and a few of the set pieces that feature in the game could potentially happen too, so seeing some of the surreal or semi-serious is a nice way to take you away from all the doom and gloom and realism of the series.

Yeah, I agree with you there. I thought it was a bit of a cop out to have the first three big bosses (pun intended) in the game to be pretty much the same boss with a different body, it is nice to have a bit of personality meshed into the conflict. I think it's one of those reasons that MGS3 has arguably got some of the best boss fights; because they all have their own emotions that they take into battle (bar Ocelot, Volgin and the Shagohad of course).
