Paying homage to the old-school NES and MSX versions of Metal Gear Solid, any fan of those retro games would be proud to play Metal Gear Solid. Arguably the best game of our decade, Metal Gear Solid delivers on all technical fronts.
For its time, Metal Gear Solid provided the best of the best in the graphics department. Great textures and particle effects, great player models, great interface, great everything. It’s going face to face against an amazingly designed Metal Gear Rex feels fantastic.
The cut-scenes are also the cream of the crop.
If there is a game that has better voice acting than Metal Gear Solid, I have not played it yet. David Hayter provides the voice for Solid Snake, and he makes Solid Snake into the most bad-ass character ever made in video games. The music in this game also puts you right into the action: from the sound of your own footsteps, to the sound of the guards going “Huh? What was that noise?” everything is spot-on. The sound recognition in this game is also the most innovative in stealth action game-play. You have to knock on the walls to avert the guards’ attention.
The greatest stealth action game ever made?
In terms of what this game has done for the genre, yes. Run, Walk, Crawl, hide in a box, walk against the wall, choke out the guards from behind, what can’t you do in this game?
With bonus features to unlock in this game such as Stealth Camouflage (Which makes you practically invisible) and alternate endings and story paths, this game will keep you hooked for a very long time. The VR Missions and other modes in the main menu also add to the experience.
his game has created a series many fans have grown to love and die for. With a game that could very well stand on its own as a movie, this game gives you an experience like none other. With a great voice cast, and some of the best developers in gaming, this game is like none other. The Creator of Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima, is nothing short of a genius. He has gone on to create other amazing games in the series, including MGS 2: Sons of Liberty, MGS 3: Snake Eater, and soon to be created MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots. All of these games wouldn’t be possible without the amazing success of Metal Gear Solid.
