Metal Gear Solid

Capsule Review:  Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid is undeniably important.  It is also undeniably divisive.  You'll either be infuriated by the inescapable lecture on the horror of nuclear war (just in case you thought it sounded like a hoot), or rendered giddy by the melodrama and aggressive insanity of it ...

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 ...

Metal Gear Solid is Hideo Kojima's masterpiece that set the stage for one of the most renowned series in videogames of all time. Kojima is one of the founding fathers of the stealth genre, and MGS was his first vision of Metal Gear in a 3-D world. To this day, ...

After re-adjusting to the old unperfected gameplay of MGS, I was ready to re-experience this unforgettable classic. MGS was the definitive movie-like game. It's obvious once you realize there's only a few hours of gameplay and the rest is just cutscences. This was something that had never been done properly ...

Imagine a game that is fresh and innovative plus clearly ahead of its time. Imagine a game with a story line that is so compelling and enthralling that it isn't hard for gamers to become caught up in the twisting and suspenseful plot. Imagine a story that has cast of ...

My first review on my blogThe Story Last night I finally got around to completing the Japanese stealth tactical action game: Metal Gear Solid. You play as Solid Snake, a veteran of (at least) two prior missions completed for the U.S. Government as a part of the secret, black-ops organization ...

 I was messing around upstairs and I found my copy of MGS1. I decided to play it again and guess what? The game still kicks ass. Good stealth action with an amazing story and some kick-ass boss battles. If you live in a cave and haven't played this, and if ...

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 ...

Metal Gear Solid was the first in the series to be released on the Playstation console.  At the time of its release, this game set a new standard for the depth of quality an action game could have.  It had a deep story involving multiple characters who were all well ...

When MGS4 was released I knew I wanted to play it but wouldn't be able to because I don't have the money to buy a PS3 so I decided to play through MGS1 since that's the only one I haven't played through.I liked the game a lot.  It was better ...

Almost ten years since Metal Gear Solid was released on Playstation and I finally finished it. What the hell took me so long?When FOXHOUND forms as a terrorist organisation, led by Liquid Snake, Solid Snake is sent into Shadow Moses to uncover the truth behind their taking over the secret ...

This game is the first in a series of amazing games. The story is incredibly in-depth, the game play is incredibly fun, and the voice acting is terrific. Though the game takes about an hour to get completely used to, once you've got the hang of it you won't be ...

Amazing, life-like visuals make you do a double take. "Am I watching a movie or is this Metal Gear Solid?" you'll find yourself shouting almost every time you see a FMV or "cut scene" as they're calling it (apparently they're in-engine but I severely doubt it, so I'm saying FMV). ...

Metal Gear Solid for the original Playstation really defined the stealth action genre. Actually it started it single handed. For one the game is incredibly cinematic when it comes to its in-game cutscenes which are rendered flawlessly. Also in terms of gameplay which is done very simply and fluidly. The ...

Metal Gear Solid was Hideo Kojima's first shot at the metal gear franchise, and his first attempt was a masterpiece.  Metal Gear Solid takes place on a terrorist military base where a super nuclear weapon, metal gear, is being held by the terrorists.  It is up to Solid Snake to ...

Presentation: 5/5 What can I say? Metal Gear Solid has some of the best cinematics on the ps1. The Intro cutscene sets the mood for the whole game. As soon as you pop in the disc, you want to stay for the whole ride. Hideo Kojima is a master at ...

Most video games have the character generally killing any enemy that comes in your way, and find ways to support the weakness of the enemy. First person shooters give you a continuous flow of ammo to shoot at any enemy in view; platformers generally have enemies die within one to ...

Metal Gear Solid is easily one of the most "unique" games to have come out during the fifth generation of console gaming. It's different not because of it's innovative narrative style but for the way it approaches the terminology of "video gaming". This is mostly because of the manner the ...

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 ...

My first experience with the Metal Gear Solid series was MGS2: Sons of Liberty, but it was MGS3: Snake Eater that really hooked me. It's not often in gaming that you will find innovative gameplay, complex plotlines, challenging moral dilemmas, believable political intrigue, and dynamic, layered characters; MGS not only ...
