    Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

    Game » consists of 15 releases. Released Nov 17, 2004

    The third installment in the Metal Gear Solid franchise is swathed in the Cold War, and it's up to a strangely familiar soldier codenamed Naked Snake to keep the Soviet Union and the United States from all-out nuclear war.

    Jeff is right: MGS2 is better

    Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence is a top 5 game of the PS2 generation in my book, so...

    I get why 3 is a bit polarizing. Kojima tried to implement a lot of the gameplay ideas he later had with Phantom Pain a decade before the technology was ready for it. The amount of time you spend in menus is really annoying. On the other hand, it had easily my favorite MGS cast, collectively my favorite bosses, and just continued to feel epic from start to finish.

    And also it had the best opening of any video game, so that trumps all other arguments.

    I admire MGS 2 for how crazy it got and for its technological advances at the time, but I hate just about every new character introduced in it.
