Like gold Metal Gear Solid 3 is amazing. Everything about this game is gold. Visuals, Music, voice acting, and superb gameplay. Hideo Kujima is a Genious.
I had my doublts on this after the ever so great yet dissapointing Metal Gear Solid 2 but I was wrong. Metal Gear Solid 3 proves to be one of the best games around and is one of the biggest titles of the year.
Forget Grand Theft Auto and play this game! Metal Gear Solid 3 is not only one of the best games ever created but it's quiet simply the best MGS game. It has everthing you'll love from the first one and times ten mixed with steriods! Another thing that makes the new gameplay of Metal Gear Solid 3 is the CQC and the new survival Menue which lets you eat, cure self and so on which is a great element to the MGS series. What also makes Metal Ge ar the best in the series is that the game is suprisingly long taking about 20 to 22 hours(It took me 18 hours)and trust me evertime you're in a new area you'll just stop and stare at the lushis graphics of the beautiful Jungle and its invorments. Metal Gear Solid 3 is also superb cause of the amazing boss battles.
One of the biggest parts of the game is the Sorrow who is the coolest boss in the game(and the most mysterious). Overall Metal Gear Solid 3 proves to up the anti. So let's get to it. Kojima makes the PS2 (and PS3 maybe) the best system I wrote a review about Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater way back and I said I would actually rate that game 4.7 out of 5, if there had been that rating choice. Well, for this game, an renovation of Snake Eater, I would rate it no less than 5 out of 5. Although it's pretty much the same game as Snake Eater, the fact that now you can switch between overhead 3d camera and rotational camera (like used in Splinter Cell among other games) makes this game feel like a new game.
Now you have complete awareness of what's going on in the jungle and in the warehouses, allowing you to do the perfect stealth kills (My favorite is grabbing them with a throat to their neck, pushing them down to the ground and making them cower in fear, kicking them a few times and then shooting them in the head with a tra nquilizer dart). The game's new addition also includes brand new camouflages and face paing. (and they rock) You could also download fanmade camouflages onto your memory card, WITHOUT access to internet!!! But that's not all the new addition this game makes. Along with the great, great single-player stealth action game that is Snake Eater, Hideo Kojima decided players should now be given a theater of not only the entire cinamatics in the game but also a secret theater in which lot of cinamatics in MGS3 is spoofed and will make you laugh till your stomach hurts.
Then there is special duel modes, allowing you to do boss fights in the game but with special challanges. Do you want more? How about the original Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2, all improved with new translation and refitted soundtrack and graphics?
Kojima also gives new stages of Snake Vs. I've never really liked those so that's that but. MGS3 is now online thanks to this product!!! Now you can show off your stealth skills to people worldwide!!!
Now, if that's not enough to make you just fall in love with Hideo Kojima (plutonically), then you just aren't made for great, clever, amazing video games. This is a game to have, even if you already have Snake Eater because this game just purely ROCKS!!! Snake Eater + all those sweet extras The Metal Gear Solid story arc is pretty remarkable. It started in the early 20th century and raged on until the arc 'ends' in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the patriots.
But this entry in the saga is probably one of the most compelling of all. This is because you got to play as Big Boss, the original villain from the two original Metal Gear games. We rewind back in time to 1964 to the cold war and the era of mounting tensions brought on by the threat of nuclear war between the USSR and the USA. There is a very well-written story and some great dynamic tension that somehow weaves this fictional story into the fabric of real history. That is perhaps one of the most fun aspects of playing this game. Some of the 'real' characters are portrayed with some artistic liberties.
Russian GRU Colonel Volgin is portrayed as a bisexual muscle-bound hulk of a man who emits electricity from his body. Although these artistic liberties add a little bit of a campy element, it never detracts from your immersion in this game as if you're playing out historical events. There's also the cobra unit, and their leader betrayed Big Boss/Snake. Snake must retrieve the developer of the in-development nuclear battle tank: Metal Gear. What gives the game some great tension is that Boss(Snake's Mentor) betrayed Snake and Snake, even though he is highly trained and no slouch with a gun and a knife in CQC(close quarters combat), doubts his ability to take on his mentor. There are a ton of battles against surreal bosses such as The Fear, The Pain, The End, and many others. If you've played the original Metal Gear games, including Metal Gear Solid, you're in for a few nice surprises.
The game has an insane number of cut scenes and lots of dialogue that even though may seem extraneous at some points is nevertheless interesting or at least qualified as being described as educational. Tacked on with this game is a second disc with a great deal of extras, the most fun and interesting of which is a ton of unused cut scenes, intended to cause laughter in those who have played this game though. Metal Gear: Subsistence is a great balance of stealth action that provides hours of entertainment, providing the very groundwork for Hideo Kojima's vision of interactive movies. If you really explore your options and experiment with the game play, you may find yourself having even more fun with this surreal yet massively entertaining masterpiece. What other game do you know that doesn't end with a game over, but rather a 'Time Paradox'?
Metal gear solid 3: subsistence top game of ps2 Metal Gear Solid is a great franchise that only got better after the third addition. I loved the action, cutscenes and length. The story was by far the best in the series with great voice acting and graphics that are supperior to any other game of the system.
The game is long and has every thing an action video game fan could want including impressive controls hundreds of collectable weapons and gadgets, and with the new camoflage system, it is easier than ever before in a Metal Gear game to sneak around the enemy AI, or face them head on. This game also features a healing system in which every time you are severly injured you can patch snake up so his health can regenerate again. To add to that, you are able to hunt for animals in the jungle and eat them to regenate stamina snake will los e from all of his excercise. If your a Metal Gear fan, and you have a Playstation 2 this game should be in your possesion, and even if you have never played a Metal Gear game in your life this would be a good game to start with.
There was nothing to complain about besides some very minor problems that were so minor they are hard to recall. Basically if you have a Playstation 2 and are looking for a great mature title this is the game to have.
