11 years ago is when I first played this game. I was a freshman in college and my friend busted in my dorm with his PlayStation and Metal Gear Solid. I popped the game in and I was amazed. I couldn't stop playing. It was like playing a action Movie not a game. I knew then that a new day in gaming was coming. Sure enough I was right. The action tied in very well with the movie sequences. On top of that you had a great leading character in Solid Snake, the man, the myth, the legend. This guy was a bad ass and
could go toe to toe with anybody. The villains in the game were equally as great also very challenging to defeat too. The plot of the game played out like a full featured movie. So the story goes as such. Snake is basically retired living in his Cabin in the wilderness of Alaska when all of the sudden he's basically kidnapped and taken away only to see his old Colonel, Roy Campbell. Campbell asks him to infiltrate his old special forces unit, FOXHOUND, who have gone rogue. Snake is sent in to neutralize FOXHOUND who have made terrorist threats of launching a nuclear strike. He also has to save the DARPA Chief, Donald Anderson, who actually turned out to be Decoy Octopus, a shape shifter, and the President of Armstech, Kenneth Baker. Kenneth Baker is later killed off by Revolver Ocelot. The game had some very memorable villians such a Revolver Ocelot. At first he was hard to beat because of the area of where you have to duke it out at and also the fact that he can shoot really well. Then there's the Ninja, Grey Fox. I thought that was a cool character. He was killed in Outer Heaven and remade into a lethal Cyborg. I loved when he said, "Hurt me more!" There's also Sniper Wolf. She was hard to beat because you had to fight her 2 times
and at a distance each time. Talk about skilled shooter. Anywhere you moved you got shot. Let's not forget Psyco Mantis. He could read your mind and bragged about it in the game. You had to switch controllers just to beat him. Towards the end you fight your copy cloned brother Liquid Snake, who you also fight twice. He's in a Russian Hellicopter the first time then he's in the Metal Gear which is a bitch to beat. The graphics weren't the best. I mean characters couldn't even move their lips or make facial expressions in the cut scenes which I thought was funny. They made up for it with the game play and compelling story. They made a remake of the game on the Nintendo Gamecube in 2004, Metal Gear Solid:Twin Snakes, with much better graphics. I loved the little love story between Snake & Merryl in the game. Too bad she broke his heart in MGS4 and married a goofball. If I had to rate this game I would give it a 9 out of 10. MGS was definitley a game way ahead of its time. If you have a PS3 go to the PlayStation store and download this great game and play.
