First of all, I can't believe some people would rate this game anything less than 5 Stars. This is a prime example of video game perfection. It has great graphics (for its time), a great story, great controls, and great gameplay! I don't know what in the world people find bad about this game, it seems that when a game is really good, people start to look harder for things that are bad about it, harder than they would for a lesser of a game, and that's just not fair, because regardless of whether you like this genre of game or not, you have to admit that this is a good game. Seriously, when you go to write a review, you're NOT telling us that you hate the product because of what type it is. You are suppposed to judge it for what it is, and how good a job it does. For instance, you can't judge an RPG (Role - playing game) and a FPS (First - person shooter) on the same scale. RPG's are obviously going to have a better story than the FPS and the FPS is obviously going to have the better gameplay! So, my point is that if you don't like Metal Gear Solid because it's a stategy-spy game, rather than a shoot-'em-up, action-adventure game, or an RPG, or whatever, then don't write a review for strategy games! There are very few games out there that all kinds of gamers will enjoy, so just review your type of game that you like and leave this game alone, it is such a great game, if you just want a really good, no BS kinda game, then MGS id for you.

Believe the praise....

I don't want to drown you with hoopla, so I'll just tell you that my wife really isn't into games. She really isn't, and I'm not going to say that Metal Gear got her to grab the controller all of a sudden because it didn't. What it DID do is hold her attention indefinitely. For the first time ever, she actually encouraged me to play, play, play. The storyline, action, yada, yada, yada is that good. Really. I'm surprised a Metal Gear Movie isn't in theatres yet.

Great game with few flaws

The plot is simple: stealthily infiltrate an Alascan nuclear waste base and destroy a nuclear weapon, Metal Gear.

Fortunately, it's not that easy. This is a game that plays like a movie, and though it gets annoying sometimes, it's still worth watching for the great story, character and plot development, with many twists and turns; quite enough to keep someone interested. Not to mention two alternative endings; don't submit to torture, Meryl lives and you get the good ending with the not-so-good special item, or submit to torture and save your skin, Meryl dies and you get the not-so-good ending but the good special item.

The bosses are challenging but not impossible, and the gameplay is good. This is the absolute best game I've ever played - with but one flaw: the cutscenes get annoying after you've played the game a few times.

Excellent game, and I'd reccomend it to anyone over 10 (the torture scene may be too intense and some of the dialogue is mature). Would have made an average movie, but average movies make great games.

this game is just awsome

Let me start by saying that this game has the best and most involving and gripping plot of any action title today (pasides Metal gear soild 2). You play as a sercet agent named snake that has come out of retirment to sneak into a secret base were HE find out that there is a nuclar weapon is bing builted and its a race agianst time before it lauches.with great plot and cool caracters and tons of weapons from claymore mines to nikata misles and many more. with cool envorments from outside on a snow coverd feild to deep inside the base. the only thing that is metraly bad about this game is some bulky in the caracters wich does't even do anthing to how great this game is and if u don't have it yet it is a MUST BUY.

I've successfully completed the first disc and after I go down the stairs and the game says to insert the second disc, and I do, I can't get the second disc to play. I can play the practice runs and get most of the other information, but when I try to begin the disc after saving at the stairs, I keep getting the "Insert disc 1" on the screen. I need help!

I own this game. This one is great, too! It's a lot like a movie. If you ever want a good PS game, MGS is a good bet!

Almost A Movie

The story of the game with it accompanying video sequwnces make the gamer feel as though they are almost playing a movie. THis is just one of the great elements of Metal Gear Solid. Another thing that makes this game unique is that instead of just running around and shooting every enemy that comes your way, you instead must rely on stealth if you're to be successful. Finally, the most rewarding aspect of this game is it's near perfect gameplay, which is about as faultless as a game can get. THis is one of the must have games for Playstation.

Gear Up For This

What can be said about this masterpiece? This game is utterly amazing in every aspect. The plot is full of so many details. It relates to things that we know about. Not everything is just hoopla made up by the game designers. The action and the thinking parts of the game are superbly balanced. You're not just running around, fighting people. There's parts were you have to be stealthy, part's were you have to think. Man, this is just a milestone in video game history. And wouldn't you like to partake of the sweetness that is Metal Gear Solid? I assume your answer was yes, and the only way to do partake of it is to buy it. So do it.
