About

You are Snake, a government agent on a mission to regain control of a secret nuclear weapons base from terrorist hands. Lightly armed and facing an army of foes, Snake must avoid firefights in order to survive. If Snake can locate them he can utilize advanced hardware, ranging from silenced pistols to ground-to-air missiles. Enemies react to sight and sound - so stay quiet and stay in the shadows. State-of-the-art graphics: textures, transparencies, models and explosions. Taut, gripping story with multiple endings - a truly cinematic experience.

Metal Gear Solid reviews and comments

Anime kino with great stealth gameplay and peak voice acting.
A classic for a reason.

Peak anime story, solid stealth gameplay and stellar bossfights

BLEW MY MIND
Ahead of its time
«Blew my mind»
For the time, this game rips. I think one of Kojima's strengths is in his understanding of player interface. Games are an interactive medium, and the player's experience with control is paramount to their experience with the game. Not only does MGS has a great control feel for a late 90's console game, but it also does a great job of melding player experience and plot into one. The cutscenes don't feel overbearing or out of place. I also appreciate how Hideo isn't afraid to play around with meta stuff like with Psycho Mantis. It's not earth shattering or anything, but I think it's a pretty cool touch. 
The only game I've beaten in a single overnight session. Absolutely revolutionary and mind blowing for its time. A game that's truly so ambitious that the console it was on could barely handle it.

Really enjoyed first half of the game, second disc was pretty disappointing. Still very good overall and well worth a play through.
My foray into video games, and now the series is a part of my life.

I first tried Metal Gear Solid in 2004. I've only knew of it through an image on Playstation box. It seemed strange at first, but in an hour or two I've felt in love with stealth genre. This game stands out with its unique visual aesthetics, gameplay solutions, sound and music effects. I wonder if Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima worked together on a Metal Gear movie, who would be Snake?
