MGS3 was the prequel that set the stage for MGS4.

The patriots and all that was introduced in MGS2, which is why I'm saying it laid the foundation story-wise to MGS3 and MGS4.
As for gameplay stuff, all that was overshadowed when everything felt like an awkward copy of MGS1, though shuffled about. They even mention it in the story that the entire thing was to collect data, to sort of "relive" the events of Shadow Moses Island.
I disliked Raiden as a character, and I didn't like the entire game setting. I didn't really enjoy the Plant. The introduction of The Patriots was a bit too much for me. I've yet to beat MGS4, so I don't know how all that unravels.
