This is the best stealth game for the playstation.

Metal Gear Solid is awsome, the graphics are alright and the story is one of a kind. There is no guy better than Solid Snake, he is a true bad a** you will find that out if you play this game. He will take on eneything from a tank to a helicopter to metal gear rex, this man is the best of the best (trust me). You will love this game, it has everything you need such as hot deadly girls and lots of sneaking around (it doesn't get better than that). I recomend it to every fan of stealth games and to fans of the series.

Best Metal Gear

This has the best plot in a story line ever and this is better than MGS 2 on PS2(PLAYSTATION 2).
Everything is great, characters/voice acting, music, intence stealth(if your new to stealth games), plot twists, boses and many more.
There's tons of originality and this has got to be the best game of all time.

*cringe*

All right, I am just going to let it out:THIS GAME ROCKS! There is a great plot behind it, great action, and some romance to top it all off. I was just plain SCARED when Meryl was all hitting on snake like some drunkard like "quick! make love to me! oh I love you!"

graphics-eww. I don't think the characters even have a face. My friend zoomed in on Meryl and her eyes were like big dark pits of doom ("scream" music plays and it zooms in on snake's face one frame at a time). although the graphics are horrible in the game, you can at least see all of the details on their face during codec transmissions. i didn't even know Meryl had red hair until i saw her in person.

plot-excellent. it is kind of deep and all, but at least it has a thick one, unlike some ridiculous games like digimon world 3 and other cheesy games that were based on anime for 5 yr olds,lol)

music-you can just here the wonderful harmony of the bass instruments and the choir. together it makes a dark, deep tone, yet pleasing to the ear. I especially like the ending song when you beat it (which I have had to sit through three long times). It sounds like celtic music. It is just so long and you can't skip it. (note:I have beat the game twice, except I accidentally hit x instead of circle when it says "do you want to save this", so i had to beat liquid again).

voice acting-the voice acting is great. snake's voice was well selected. meryl sounds a little young though, as do all girls than normally come from japanese anime or video games when an english voice actor is selected for them)

controls-whew. They are unusual, since most games have x as your weapon button, instead of square. The controls also cost me to have to fight liquid more times than needed. Yet the fact that they are different makes it harder to adapt to it, which is exciting.

battles-the boss fights are suprisingly enjoyable. When you are new to the game, the easy ones always get you, but after you have beaten them once or twice, they are a piece of cake(when I fought Metal Gear Rex for the first time, it was easy until the second part whereas I lost about 8 times, but when I fought him after getting stealth, I beat him on the first try!). The enjoyable fights are:
Cyborg Ninja(Gray Fox)
Psycho Mantis
The Hind-D
Liquid Snake
The easy ones are:
Psycho Mantis
M1 Tank
Revolver Ocelot(I beat him in under a minute, serious)
Sniper Wolf(both times, except it is kinda hard to find her in the snowfield)
The just plain annoying fights (and other parts)are:
The Hind-D
Ocelot's Torture(when you are trying to beat it. I did the ketchup thing and it didn't work once)
Metal Gear Rex
(sorta)Gray Fox(he turns invisible, which is annoying if you don't have thermal goggles)
last, but CERTAINLY not least, Liquid Snake(you have to fight him with your bare hands, plus you have to beat him in under 3 minutes, and he rams you alot)

overall rating-4 out of five. the graphics cost it the 5. it seems to me like they were in a hurry and just slapped it in.

highlights:funny and wierd-when meryl was hittin on snake, as i listed above (that goes under the "wierd things" category), and when you begin the fight with Psycho Mantis and he tells you to set your controller on the floor and he "telepathically" moves it. that was a real joke.

Rated M for Mature-violence, language, somewhat sexual related material (not nudity, just meryl hitting on snake and other things, such as Colonel Cambell having a kid with his dead brother's wife(Meryl), but he thought he was her uncle and finds out at the end of the game he is her father, parents, no need to be alarmed), and a little bit of blood, and you cannot even see it because of the many objects surrounding you. might see a drop, but not not anything serious. Plus the most terrifying thing in the game: Solid Snake is cool and all, but at the end of the game, the most terrifying happens: SNAKE REVEALS HIS REAL NAME! Boy is it mundane, his name is...is...(twitch cringe) DAVID!

This game is the Shiz-net

This game was the best PS game I ever spent money on. I bought this game thinking it was going to be your basic James Bond like game. The first day I played for 4 hours straight, and only got 3/4 of the way through the first disk. After a while I got where I could beat both disk in 4 1/2 hours. If you want the BEST GAME EVER this is the one to buy.

An obsession

Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest games ever made! Born from the mind of Hideo Kojima, what could be better than finally seeing our hero Solid Snake in 3D?
This is the fourth installment in the Metal Gear series and is by far the best. The graphics for the time are simply impressive. Game play is excellent, it has a very easy flow to it. The music in the game is definitely some of the best I have ever heard, and I would suggest the official soundtrack to complete the experience.

Some players are going to complain that the enemies are too predictable and that you can just walk around only using Snake's radar. I ask if any of them have ever tired to play the game on a harder setting than easy, or without the radar. It becomes clear that MGS is more than just a game; it is a full-blown training in stealth and tactical espionage.

With a load of new characters, enemies, and a few from the past ;) there is no doubt that anyone playing this game will become quickly addicted. Weapons and options have been expanded on to allow for more freedom of game play.

A few low points are: some of the areas in the game are too dark, first-person weapon control is difficult, cut scenes are a bit long, and if played on a PS2 characters will appear grainy.

High points: voice actors (including David Hayter, the writer The Hulk and The Scorpion King), awesome DCV's (digitally captured videos), and a truly believable story line. Furthermore, the plot twists and secrets will ensure that this game won't be shelved after beating it just once.

Metal Gear Solid is THE game for the PS1 platform, and it is still just as good when played on your PS2.
