    Metal Gear Solid is amazing in almost all ways

    Use Solid Snake to get to Metal Gear using stealth or killing your enemies. This game plots through about a 4-5 hour adventure on Shadow Moses Island to take down Metal Gear. You can use many different weapons, with silencers to take out enemies without setting off an alarm. The goal in this game is mainly to get undetected, using stealth techniques get get by enemies in each little area. But you can take out enemies with weapons and kill everyone without other guards noticing. Cigarettes can be used to detect lasers, and thermal goggles to detect claymores. You will have to fight 6 bosses on your way through, then ends with the last fight. This game has smooth movement, superb graphics for its time, killer soundtrack, and a story that will make you want to come back for more. Also a compelling love story behind it all, with awesome voice actors to back it all up. This game is pretty much perfect, except shooting can be a bit awkward in some parts, like running up the long stretch of stairs. The game delivers with cut scenes that will keep you really interested, and will make keep wanting play, and not wanting the experience to end. This game is a great experience from start to finish, and one of the greatest games of all time.

To this day, MGS still holds up as a fun, intense gameplay experience with a gripping story and unhindered display of Kojima's directorial talent and philosophical insights. Suffice it to say when MGS was released almost a decade ago, its production v...
