The biggest surprise for this game Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater was that the person who helped write or Produced it was actually working for Godzilla Final Wars was that he decided to honor the 50th Birthday of Godzilla in Metal Gear Solid 3.
so freakin' amazing

WOW! WHAT AN AMAZING GAME!!! Thanks Konami. I loved it. I myself am a "Big" Metal Gear Solid fan and personally I think the gameplay isn't really the whole point of this game. Sure its wot makes any game but really I think its just a lot of cutscenes that all click together and make sense to join up to the other Metal Gears out there that makes this fantastic game stand out from the rest of the stealth games on the shelf next to it! But I loved the gameplay just as much too anyway. It really does make you think that Hideo Kojima had been planning Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater 20 years ago, according to how perfect the whole game finshes to make the beginning of the Metal Gear Triology. My favourite charactor is 'Obvoiusly' Snake. He's....so.....cool! He takes a great deal of pain when captured! Man I feel sorry for him! David Hayter only makes Snake even cooler and tougher by being his voice. Ocelot was funny too. Everything always happended to his face (Gettin burnt, slapped twice and tire marks ects!lol) Overall 'nearly' brilliant game!...........
....But I have made up some points and game techniques of my own that could make MGS 3 SE even better!
I think guards are the stars of the show, besides Snake, cause what would be Metal Gear without guards to fight? eh?!?! Im gettin bored of the TWO guys that are in MGS 3SE, yeah 2! The one who says "Something there!?" in a girlish voice and the guy with a rough voice who says "Whats Wrong?!". It'd be way cooler if guards had PERSONALITIES! U know....some are mean, some are friendly, others pussies and mabye some are over aggressive and cocky! It'd also be cool if guards had their own personal fears and Disabilties.
E.g. Mabye you hear a guard talkin to another guard (FACT!;U know in real life guards talk once in a while mabye to themselves or others!!) sayin that 'so an so' is afraid of heights and he cant hear very well... u could use that as a funny advantage. All Im sayin is mabye more VARIETY in guards could make the game more amusing, playable and enjoyable! Not that eveythings wrong with MGS guards but it could use sum variety. Wot i was sayin is that it'd be well cool is some guards had fears like snakes, close spaces ect. and disabilties for instance they might be part blind, death, assma (dunno if thats spelt right) ect. cause not everyones perfect u know!! In the 60s they'd take any able bodied man into war, even if they are death they'd still give them a gun and make them fight! It'd also be cool 2 if u could take off the balaclva and see who your actully up against And have better control in hostage situations. Mabye throw the guys gun down a cliff or disguise yourself as that guard ect.! NOW THAT'D b cool! And the gun doesn't somehow appear again when you let him go. All these ideas could and probally would make the game much more entertaining! Not being big headed there.....!
The mousetrap bugs me as well I mean how can a mousetrap catch snakes, crabs and for godsakes a bird as big as a vulture... ALIVE!?! I thought they were made to KILL small rodents!? Anyway Snake making his own traps ,snares or pitfalls, to catch his own food and guards would be totally awesome! u know, just leaving them there hagning! lol.
That's about it for this game but just more variety in the guards and changing the mousetrap could make this excellent game even better. I finish off this big review with a couple of questions i'd like to know> 1) "Why do the guards all speak ENGLISH in Russia?" 2) "Why does Ocelot like Naked Snake but not Solid Snake?" 3) "Why does Big Boss change from good to evil in the 1st place?" 4) "If Liquid and Solid Snake are both twin brothers why do they both have a different voice actors... each?!?" and finally> 5) "Who are the Patriots!?!?!??? Really?"!
I really don't know that last one and probally the only person who I think does is Kojima!! ;)
Snake is back

A great game. The basic rundown:
1) Graphics - mouth-watering. The graphics are as good as it is going to get on this platform (PS2) and for that reason if you love graphics, this is a good game.
2) Gameplay- the radar, as we once knew it, is gone in MGS3! Now there is a new system called CQC- or close quarters combat. Though some classic aspects of gameplay have changed in the series, it still is a complex and challenging game for all the right reasons.
3) Excitement- A stealth game is still a medium of gaming that no one has shown to master as thoroughly as Kojima.
4) Plot and cinematics- A good story, and a neat ending. Cannot say more without spoiling it.
Great game!
could of been better more evelountionary

they made a big deal about this game being outdoors..in the jungle..i was hoping it would bring aspects of socom mixed in with mgs wonderful, story characters and gameplay...the gamplay though hasnt alwasy been the best, exceot for the boss fights...the major thing that brings this game down is the camera angels...i dont like to concentrat on the goods of the game...im assuming u people who r intrested in this game already know the good games so i like to talk about the bad stuff..ok, the camera angels...really affect gameplay, sometimes u cant see the guy ur trying to sneak up on..i was hoping since u were in a open area the camera could be manually conroled with right analog or something...but they do improve fighting and u can slice people throats and i heard interagate but i didnt do that..the best thing about thisn game is the boss battles...my favorite was the end..a old sniper guy...u have this huge area and u battle with this sniper..it will take a while but its a great fight...... oh and did i mention the story...superb story and the thing i loved about mgs is that it has some funny parts...like poking fun at its self..or just weired things...like u dress up as a russian officer who looks just like raiden form mgs2 and snake is like "i think this look will make me more popular" and the major says "huh? watever"... a true metal gear fan will get this and laugh...i laughed my ass off because its soo true,..and atkeat hideo relized his mistake.......oh and theres this chick named "the boss" who i freaking cant stand!!..in the boss battle she hits u and throws ur weapons out so u have to get up and look for themm..grr..i was happy when that wench died....sorry for being all over the palce in my review
THIS GAME IS AWSOME

WOW, you should really get MGS3. It's the best MGS game of all. The cutsences are amazing, and the voice acting is great. The boss battles are good as well.
Ocelot- you you do battle with the young ocelot! much like in MGS1, although this time you duel with him.
The pain- One of the cobras, he is "one with bees"
The fear- nothing scary about him, although don't tell him that. He'll come at you with poisioned arrows.
The end- A legdenary sniper.(if you thought sniper wolf was bad, just wait) this battle WILL take a very long time. IF you go through with it.....
The fury- stay out of his way, or you just might get burned...
Volgin- A very "shocking" man, he's the main villian in this game
The boss- your mentor. she teaches you everything you know. A really good hand to hand fight.
This game is really good, well worth the price. get it. you won't be sorry.
Decent, but still just Metal Gear Solid 1

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!!!!!
First off, the whole radar thing is good/bad - with no radar it definatly makes for more of a challenge, but mostly because your running blind. Enemies will see you before you can see them, it gets frustrating. Plus It's the same alert system as always meaning, once your spotted, you either kill everyone quick and hide for a while until the alert goes away - or you try and hide immedeatly and wait a really long time. I just don't understand why if they know your they would just stop looking for you.
As far as the story goes, it was a little bit easier to understand, and it helped answer some questions from the previous games, but it was still pretty confusing. I kinda wish they would just make a new story entirely and not have a story that spans through every game. It's too hard to keep it all straight. And the idea that your playing the person that they made the 3 snake clones from, it's pretty amazing that he looks EXACTLY like solid snake, is hairstyle really a genetic trait, and why do they both wear bandanas? Why are solid snake and this Snake so similar, but Liquid and Solidus are so different? Also, for such a serious story, there is too much comedy in the game for me, it takes a lot away from the game when after a near death experience, I meet the leading lady in a cave where she tells me how
2 was just a mistake

This is the closest thing to reality you'll ever get. The game is almost perfect. People complain about first person view, that view is explicit for shooter games, not a MG game. Here you'll have to sneak other than shot all day long. The camera is other point which people complain. I totally disagree, it's more usefull to control it. The radar? The game is based on the 60's, off course there`s no GPS radar!!! If you are a MGS die-hard fan like me you'll simply love this game, it's worth every cent. The story is excellent and the cut scenes are a master piece, as well as the music; if your kind of game is stealing cars or killing aliens I recomed GTA or HALO(both suck!)
