    Excellent best game out on Playstation

    Metal Gear Solid is an excellent game for anyone. If you have never played the series then it doesn't matter you can pick up and play this game easily. The way the game combines stealth with action is amazing. Instead of going in, guns blazing you have to actually avoid enemies if you don't want a hard time. It is not a good thing if you are caught as enemies just keep coming and coming soon you will run out of ammo or die so it is best to keep your head down on this game.

    The gameplay is great but so is the storyline. It is told very well with the use of cut-scenes which offer a nice break from gameplay and to follow the actual story. There is some simple puzzles to work out such as working out secret codec calls and avoiding lasers.

    Sound is great with the guns sounding great and the added effect of them sounsing differently depending on where you are (for example in an air duct or out in open space). The music for certain areas also changes.

    You could properly complete the game within a few hours if you rushed through it and skipped the cut scenes, but u'll properly want to play it through properly finding all the weapons and follow the story. You may also want to play it through again to see the added extras after completeing the game once.

    There is nothing particually bad about this game and that why it gets a perfect 10 out of 10!

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...

      Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation is in many ways a groundbreaking game. Never before have games felt like an interactive movie this way. With good graphics, great voice acting, an interesting story that stays with you, this is something you must experience. You play as Solid Snake, a soldier that has seen enough of war. However, an old friend pulls him back in to action and Snake must infiltrate a nuclear weapon storage facility called: Shadow Mosses, which has been taken over by members of ...
