The storyline was cool kill volgin, the boss, blowing up a nuke tank launcher, and breaking out sokolove. But i didn't like the stand still to aim and birds eye view. It took time to get used to. The fighting was amazing human shields, slitting throats throwing snakes on people and all that stuff. Buy this game.

An incredible achievement

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is an intense and memorable experience with an interesting yet somewhat complex storyline, tons of cool gameplay and some of the best graphics ever seen on the PS2. It's easily one of the best overall games out on the PS2, and if you don't have it already, it's definitely worth getting.

The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most popular series of games, and it deserves all of its praise. The best part of MGS is easily the storyline. Some people play MGS for the storyline alone. MGS's storyline is one of the most complex storylines in gaming, if not the most. It's just packed with so many interesting plot twists and unexpected moments. Metal Gear Solid 3 maintains MGS's awesome storyline with new characters, breathtaking boss battles and dramatic confrontations.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is a whole lot of fun to play. It's a stealth game, but I've found that it's significantly easier to shoot enemy soldiers than in Metal Gear Solid 2. Backup teams are quite limited, even on the Hard and Extreme game modes. Anyway, half the game is playing and half the game is watching radio conversations and cutscenes (since the game has a great story). The cutscenes and radio conversations are very interesting, plus they're interactive so you won't just watch and not play.

Other than that, the gameplay is pretty much the same as previous MGS games, but with a new survival feel. If you've never played an MGS game before, the gameplay pretty much involves the player infiltrating the enemy base with lots of items, weapons and the ability to remain undetected. Lots of the moves from previous MGS games are intact, such as breaking necks, flipping off railings, holding up enemy soldiers for items and hiding corpses in lockers. There's a hell of a lot of new stuff though.

When you start off playing Metal Gear Solid 3, you'll notice the new jungle setting. MGS isn't mostly interior buildings anymore. You'll have to learn to survive in the jungle in order to complete your mission. I think the survival feeling was done exceptionally well.

One big innovation in MGS3 is the use of camouflage. Snake (the main character) can choose from a variety of face paints and uniforms to blend in with his surroundings. The game also encourages you to crawl more and move slowly. It gives the game a slower pace but really adds to the survival feel.

Snake will also have to eat to maintain a high stamina gauge (which affects Snake's actions). You'll have to hunt for food and capture them dead or alive. Dead food spoils over time, but spoiled food can be used as a distraction when thrown at hungry soldiers.

Another cool aspect adding to the survival feel is how Snake must cure himself using medicine and surgery whenever he's seriously injured. You'll find many medical supplies during your mission, and if you get a burn, a gunshot wound, a leech or something, you'll have to treat it using kits and bandages to stay in good shape. Although curing yourself adds to the atmosphere, it gets annoying and interrupts the pacing at times.

Even though there's a lot of survival elements, MGS3 will surely appeal to long time fans of the MGS series as well as those new to the series. The traditional gameplay is here. The storyline, the expertly directed cutscenes and the item boxes are all still here. MGS3 truly feels like an MGS game.

The graphics in MGS3 are amazing. They won't shock you like MGS2's did, but they are an improvement and look absolutely gorgeous. The jungle looks very believable, and the ambient sound adds to the effect. The individual blades of grass are very nice, and the character models are also very detailed. The entire game looks great; the characters' movements are very lifelike. As I said earlier, these are some of the best graphics ever seen on the PS2.

The sound is great. The music is very well done, especially in boss battles and cutscenes. There isn't much music during regular gameplay, but the jungle sounds are quite cool.

MGS3 will last for a very long time. It's got five different difficulty modes with one that likely suits your skill (from Very Easy to Extreme). There are endless amounts of cool easter eggs to find, just like any MGS game. There are secrets and unlockables that will keep you coming back to the game, including stealth camouflage, infinity face paint and more. There are a huge amount of rankings as well. There's definitely a lot to come back for after finishing the game's 15-25 hour experience your first time.

In the end, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is simply phenomenal. Its storyline will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Its gameplay is brilliant. The survival feeling is done extremely well. Its graphics are some of the best ever on PS2. The game will last a while and stay in your memory forever. If you haven't experienced Metal Gear Solid 3, do yourself a favor and do so.

Great game but not the best of the mgs line

This is game is very very good and soars in all areas it is just a blast to play. Amazing graphics, gameplay, story, just great. There isn't much wrong with this game other than the camera angles and the fact you can't move in FPS mode. MGS3 is challenging and has some amazing boss fights go buy this game it really is something else.

The perfect game.

This game was a in depth and visualy stunning game that can't even compare to any other game but itself. The best game of its kind and possobly the best game of all time is full of beautiful cut-scenes and great gameplay. Better than halo2 this game has not received the credit it deserved. If you own a ps2 you need this game.

This game sucks!! Just kidding, anyone who says it does needs to jump off a cliff onto sharp jagged rocks. This game by far is the best MGS in the series. The graphics in the game are the same as there great cinematics its crazy! There are a ton of different uniforms you can wear alternating from face paint and clothes for the different surroundings you'll encounter. There are so many different camoflouges you can wear just playing the game but you can also download more. I haven't done this because I don't have the adapter, Im just telling you what I hear. Anyway, This game IS the Gran turismo of shooters. Silky smooth graphics and tight gameplay. You have the option of trying to stealth your way through all of the missions but is really hard or you could shoot your way through. I havent beaten this game yet and I really don't want to because you'll be upset when you do just like Halo 2. So just BUY this game, you wont put it down.

great game
