After looking for the original MGS, it was quite nice to find this set here. The first 3 MGS games for $30 is a great deal in my opinion.

This package is a great value if you don't have the metal gear solid games yet.

Great way to catch up

The only draw back from this collection is that the original Metal Gear Solid is on old PS1 cds instead of dvds. This really doesn't make a difference at all, but it was something I was hoping for. Also there really isn't any bonus material for purchasing this set which also keeps it from getting 5 stars. It would have been nice to throw in the originals or something, but I'm sure there is some kind of copyright infringements there. Still a great buy if you want to get caught up for MSG4.

great game

In today's high price of next gen consoles, it is tough to get something that you can play for around 40 hours or so for about $30. I never played any of the metal gears before this, and due to this reason, I have held off on getting a ps3 for 3 months, just to play the fourth mgs.
BTW: I have an old PS2, so it was tough to get these games to work, but I am not going to change the actual rating of the game. IT was my PS2 that had trouble reading the discs (MGS3) worked fine, the other two, not so much. BTW you will scoff at the graphics of metal gear solid 1. But you will over look them as you play the game. Metal gear 3 has great graphics.

All these are like great movies with great games. The endings of all the games are epic and elaborate. Hint: there is something always after the credits that is important, don't turn it off too early. All the games include great bosses, with cinematic movies accompanying them. Sniper battles in jungles and snow. You tackle huge machines with missiles. Open firefights also add a fps perspective.

The story line goes against conventional views of government and the world. They eloquently introduce thought provoking philosophical accounts about dying and being a soldier. Yea it is just a game, and I don't buy into the plots as being real, but they do make you think a little.

Overall I highly recommend this package, and it may become a collectible in the future. If you play these, you are almost guaranteed to buy MGS4 for the ps3 if u have it or plan on getting it.

Metal Gear Solid Pack Review

This was a gift for my husband. He loves the Metal Gear series and says this pack is great. In this pack you get the virtual reality missions, Metal Gear 2, and Metal Gear 3. This is a really good pack for someone anxiously awaiting the arrival of Metal Gear 4. I would advise caution for getting it for a younger crowd though. It can be pretty graphic at times. Overall though, it's a good series.

A Must have for any MGS fan

Now that the series with Snake is about to end (luckily we'll never know with Hideo) this is a must have for the series fans. I sold the Sons of Liberty to get Substance and Snake Eater to get Subsistence, and I'm quite happy with that change. Something you probably already know, if not will come in handy is that Subsistence does not includes the online mode, just new camera mode and more face paints.

Packs a punch.

Three of the best games ever in one solid pack. Just make sure you have a PS1 Memory card (If you're running on a PS2) otherwise you won't be able to save MGS1.

Either way you cannot go wrong with this pack at all, for $30 its worth every penny you spend.

Excellent

Only problem is if you no longer have a ps1 memory card. Other than that it is awesome.
