One day i was reading on my favorite videogames website how good metal gear solid was and blah blah blah. So i rented it, and kept it for over a month because i couldnt beat the torture scene, and i didn't want to let meryl die. The character development is THAT good. The game also has a great feel to it with mixed action and stealth elements. The music is also great This game is the best game ever created, only the mighty final fantasy 8 comes close.

Greatest Game Ever? Metal Gear Solid Certainly Makes a Case

Get ready, get set, and prepare yourself for what is arguably the greatest game ever made for any game console. You are Solid Snake, a former special forces agent who has spent the last few years retired in the Alaskan Wilderness. But you've been forced out of retirement by your former bosses and have been assigned the incredible task of infiltrating a military installation which has been taken control by agents of your former group "Fox Hound" and stop them from using a new and incredibly powerful weapon called "Metal Gear" in a plot to bring about the cold war and world domination.Along the way, you run into several twists and turns, not to mention a beautiful woman who is helping you along the way, and a mysterious ninja who seems very familiar. How will you combat this impossible situation? Not with guns or bombs or even a knife, but with a pack of cigarrettes, a tranciever to keep in contact with your allies, a pair of binoculars, and your most valuable weapon, a keen sense of stealth. Metal Gear Solid has it all; action, drama, comedy. The story itself is worth purchasing the game. If there were problems which I've found with MGS its that once you beat the game (Hint: There are two separate endings), when you play it a second time its never as fun or exciting as the first time. Also, both endings are somewhat anticlimatic. But thats the problem facing most all games. And with Metal Gear Solid, the challenge isn't so much finding out how its going to end, but its trying to stay alive long enough to even see the next plot twist.

Metal Gear Solid is by far one of the greatest games ever made it has a very good storyline (you won't understand it unless you play through the whole game)the puzzles may be a little chalenging for the young kids it has superb graphics if you are a fan of espionage games this is a must buy GAMING TIP: use stealth and don't go around shooting everthing in sight and put on one of the cardboard boxes and go in the back of a truck and see what happens

Best PS game I've played

This game is a masterpiece, exuding quality on so many levels from the get go. It's a James Bond-like game where you're supposed to sneak around a military base and prevent armageddon. The best thing about this game is that stealth is the key. I nearly fell off my chair as my character started crawling with a box over his head, only to have the guard see it, kick it over, and pursue me! 3D as well as overhead views, good array of weapons, and an exceptionally strong story line. Full motion video is good, though lacks resolution probably because of space constraints. One caveat: there are several video game-like scenarios, so if you're not dexterous, you may have problems advancing.

Metal Gear Solid is by far the best game I ever played!

Metal Gear Solid is a great challenging game. I could play it again and again and I will never get bored. The first day I got it I was up till 3 o'clock in the morning playing it. The only problem with this game is that it is almost impossible to beat without a stratedgy guide. But it is worth paying the extra 15 bucks to play this game. Metal Gear Solid is without a doubt the best game ever created.

Who wants to hear a spy whining about killing.

The main problem with this game is it trys to make a point. Its target audience doesnt want to hear about snakes love life or how meryl always wanted to be a soldier, (boo hoo) We want to Kill, Maim and Destroy. Every boss that has tried to shoot snake, as soon as he shoots them they start whining about their horrible past or their family. WHO ON EARTH CARES. Another bad point is there are no great cinema clips, they all use the in game graphics. I read all these great reveiws saying its just like a movie and I was sorely disapointed. It got 2 stars because if you press your buttons and fastforward the cinema clips, you can at least pretend that snake is a tough-guy.

A Masterpiece! One of the Playstation's Greats!

As Solid Snake, you must sneak into a Nuclear Missle Disposal Complex on an island near Alaska, Terrorists have taken over and claim to have access to nuclear weapons. Your mission is to free the hostages and see whether or not the terrorists can launch nukes. Sound easy! Well...all is not as it seems. This game combines challeging gameplay with a deep story and excellent voice acting. The game is action packed and the story twists and turns leading to the final climactic battle between Solid Snake and his evil twin brother, who has manned the terrible weapon Metal Gear, a giant battle robot. Add to this some of the best graphics available to the Playstation, and you have a near perfect game.

The best game ever

There has never been a game this good! There is a touch of everything from roleplaying to strategy-development, to straight out shoot'em up! If there is any complaints it is that The game is over way too fast (a day) and that there will be no way to top this game with a sequel (VR Missions is an addition to it and not of the same variety)
