Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Preview: If any one game series encapsulates the new era of the more mature video games which have emerged since the beginning of the PlayStation era, it's Metal Gear Solid. Its complex narrative and equally complex and varied gameplay redefined the way people looked at video games and even if the immediate sequel managed to upset the delicate balance between storytelling and interaction, Metal Gear Solid 3 doesn't look likely to make the same mistake twice. Taking a real back-to-basics approach, Snake Eater is set in the '60s and sees you controlling Solid Snake (or at least someone that looks like him--and is at least not Raiden from the MGS2) in a storyline that has yet to be fully revealed. What we've seen of the game shows a much greater emphasis on stealth than ever before, with Snake being vastly outnumbered and appearing to spend most of his time creeping through the jungle, dropping down on guards from out of the trees and hiding in plain sight using a variety of specialised camouflage suits. The sub-title is less nonsensical than you might think as well since Snake must hunt and eat animals--including, you guessed it, our no-legged friends--to keep his stamina up. Overall the game seems more realistic than ever before (you don't even get the enemy radar to use all the time) and should assuage those jaded by Metal Gear Solid 2's more self-indulgent moments. Snake is back, and he's never looked better... --David Jenkins Manufacturer's Description: The Metal Gear Solid franchise takes a major step forward on PlayStation 2 with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. For the first time, the game is set in a sweltering jungle where players must fight for survival by battling relentless natural elements, as well as an onslaught of ruthless enemy soldiers. Suspenseful stealth action delivers heart-pounding sequences like never before. The game's extraordinary gameplay and intense plot combine with riveting music, high-definition sound and astonishingly detailed graphics for a completely unique interactive gaming experience.

 Rating:  - Flipping amazingI've owned this game plus the first two for a few years now, and with the excitement of the 4th game finally hitting the shelves, I decided to dig this one out again and remind myself why this game was so good. Yet again I was blown away by the sheer quality of the game, in every sense! Every now and again there comes a game that posseses an aspect of perfection in a certain area of production, be it graphics, gameplay, storyline etc. But rarely do we see a game with all of these qualities nearing perfection. Metal gear solid 3 does just that. When I play metal gear solid 3, I find myself comparing it to the original. While the second one ventured into the realms of mind boggling plot twists that didn't make much sense, and ... Read More: Rating:  - Not bad,but could have been much better.I loved the PS1 Metal Gear Solid.It was exciting,and really enjoyed the story.Here,I thought the story was dreadful in certain areas.Of course,the game play is brilliant,and the action fantastic.However,the writer spoilt it by putting in a devious female character,who attempted to outshine the main hero.Sorry,but that wasn't to my liking.Not even the Boss,who Snake has to fight at the end.Still,its an enjoyable game,but it remains to be seen,if the next story is any better.Of course,that's just my humble opinion! Rating:  - A little too clever for its own Good.This game has some of the hardest boss battles in any game. "The End" for example can sometimes take an eternity to kill. Then theres the awful camera mixed with the lack of a soliton radar system and its a recipe for disaster - what happens is you cant see the enemy in anyway shape or form so you end up running into them and alert after alert :( I loved Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 and managed to get through both on all levels of difficulty...I struggled to get through snake eater on Normal mode. I think the trouble here is the addition of too many new features all at once, instead of just revamping and modernising the gameplay mechanics. However to draw a line under it all and say this is a bad game would be incorrect, the storyline ... Read More: Rating:  - good but somewhat dissapointingi am a great fan of the series. and was thrilled when i got the metal gear solid 3 demo. but after playing it a few minutes without any radar and a camera angle that dosent allow you to see ahead. it did get very frustrating especialy as i consider myself to be fairly good at the series.so i decided not to buy the game. but as metal gear solid 4 came out recently which i am intrested in. i decided to buy metal gear solid 3. i got the origional not subsistence because it is about twice as much as the origional mgs3. so anyway even though the whole overhead camera with no radar is hard. once i got used to it. the game did start to pick up. its good but my only real criticism is that i prefer not to use weapons unless i absoloutely have to. ... Read More: Rating: - not as good as MGS1 or 2, but less convoluted in terms of plot than MGS2For those of you who have played MGS2, you will know how convoluted the plot became towards the end. In MGS3, there isn't so many plot twists and over the top-phiosophical banter (although I never had a clue what The Boss was going on about at the end :/), but rather the story is more straight forward and ironed out. In MGS3, you play Naked Snake, Snake's father in the Siberian Jungle circa. 1960s. One of the most unconventional features of this game is that you have to kill and catch your own food in the jungle to keep stamina up- one of the Boss fights is based around keeping stamina up to avoid loosing. Dissapointing though, I really wanted an immediate continuation of MGS2. |
