Editorial Review: Editorial Review: You are Solid Snake, a superspy who's half James Bond, half Snake Plissken, and you are mean. Your mission isn't terribly new (infiltrate a terrorist base and blow everything up), but the gameplay is: your numerous enemies are watching for you, and you are encouraged to sneak rather than simply charge in. Every level brings new challenges. You fight snipers, invisible ninjas, psychic warriors, and even an M-1 tank! As the father of the modern spy game genre, this game is an instant classic. Your allies and superiors speak to you via a cool, implanted radio, monitoring your progress, offering tips--but failing to give you the full story. The combination of a mysterious and engaging plot and high in-game tension makes this a thrilling ride. Campy humor also abounds as you rescue beautiful women, verbally spar with your allies, and blow up enemies in the bathroom. A user-friendly control interface allows for sniping, hiding, crawling, and running, and the graphics leave nothing to be desired. If you like espionage, spy movies, or just want to own and play a piece of gaming history, then this is a must have. Metal Gear Solid is one of the all-time greats. Game tip: Secretly attach plastic explosives behind an enemy, sneak out of the room, and see what happens. --Allen Stewart Pros:

 Rating:  - EpicI'm going to start by saying that I only got this and the other two games because I was so confused in MGS4. But I'm so glad I got this. It is definitaly one of the best games and one of the best games I've played. Everything about it is superb. The boss battles, the story, the characters, everything. (Though the dialouge can be a bit cheesy). The only thing I have to say against this game is the camera angle and graphics. I've been used to playing PS3 games with their amazing graphics, so when I ...

But after recently buying the compilation with the game is in it, I realize all that I was missing even 10 years after its release. Of course, the graphics are not on par now days but it features some of the best for its time. The way the game is set up it is revolutionary- sexy ladies, Snake smokes so you can see the lazers, ... Read More Rating: - One of the Playstation's best, periodIn many ways I always liked playing the original Playstation since the amount of games that were must-plays to the undiscovered gems always seemed plentiful so you never felt like you didn't buy a machine for at most, 5 or 6 games. Metal Gear Solid was quite a fun and intriguing release and it brought a more cinematic telling into the stories and although short and plotwise it can get into philosophy-speak a bit too often (though at least it's easier to swallow than Sons of Liberty), it was still one ... Read More Rating: - Perhaps the greatest, most innovative and totally immersive game ever.All that needs to be said about Metal Gear Solid has been said - Countless video game magazines and websites cite this game as a 'classic' or 'must-have.' I remember playing MGS at a friend's house from beginning to end when I was eight - still, nearly 11 years later, it's my favorite video game/game series. Rating: - The Greatest Best Awesomest Game Ever!!!!I will keep this short, but if you do not buy this game or play this game before you die, you will simply just have missed on the best game that have ever been created. An'thats That!!!! |
