Metal Gear Solid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is one of them.Revolutionary gameplay/interface never seen before, excellent voice acting, fabulous music/effects, and most of all, a gripping story that immediately hooks you in, and develops more and more as you play.Many purchased a PSX just for this game, and many will surely buy a PS2 just for MGS2.
** To all gamers - if you've never played MGS before, you REALLY should.Unlike most other brainless killing games, this game teaches you that avoiding battles through clever tactical choices is wise -- and that death is scary, painful, horrible, and sad.
** To all parents - like I stated above, the game has a pretty vocal message about death.I would rate it M for Mature, but if your child is already blowing out enemy brains in Quake-type games, this game may end up teaching more of a lesson than anything.
** To PSX owners - it's a near-perfect port, so you won't find too many things that are new.Storyline, gameplay, and all secrets (bandana, stealth suit, etc) are preserved.Still, being able to play this game in stunningly clear 1024x768 resolution graphics without the tedious CD read/load time made this worth my($).(not to mention the included VR pack)
Longevity: Replay value is not *that* high, since it is a "beatable" game.Still, most people will find themselves going through MGS another round and trying new things.Also, the VR pack helps you satisfy those times when you just want some action, but don't have hours to spend on the mission, so in that sense, it's value-packed for ($).
Advice#1: A 10-button PSX-style gamepad is STRONGLY recommended, unless you are comfortable with the keyboard.My Gravis Gamepad Pro (($)) works perfectly - and really, you need all 10 buttons.
Advice#2: If you have two CD-ROM drives like I do, leave both CD's in there.That way, you won't have to swap CD's at all.Of course, doing this may be bad for your health, as you may "forget" to take a break.=)
Advice#3: Savor it.Enjoy it.Don't rush through the game, but instead, explore, talk to everyone -- enjoy the game..
Snaaaaaake!
