Metal Gear Solid: Review and Recap

Metal Gear Solid is a 1998 stealth action game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation. It is the third installment in the Metal Gear series, and the first to be released on a 3D console. The game follows Solid Snake, a retired special forces operative, as he infiltrates a nuclear weapons disposal facility in Shadow Moses Island to stop a group of terrorists from launching a nuclear strike.

Metal Gear Solid was a critical and commercial success, selling over 6 million copies worldwide. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time, and is praised for its revolutionary stealth gameplay, complex story, and cinematic cutscenes.

Metal Gear Solid's gameplay is centered around stealth. Players must avoid being detected by enemies in order to progress through the game. The game features a variety of tools and gadgets to help players with this, such as a radar, infrared goggles, and a silenced pistol.

Metal Gear Solid also features a unique "Alert Phase" system. If a player is detected by an enemy, the game will enter Alert Phase. During this time, enemies will become more active and search for the player. Players must either escape or eliminate all enemies in order to end Alert Phase.

Metal Gear Solid's story is complex and full of twists and turns. It explores themes such as nuclear proliferation, artificial intelligence, and the nature of war. The game's story is told through a series of cinematic cutscenes, which feature some of the best voice acting and writing ever seen in a video game.

Metal Gear Solid's soundtrack is one of the most iconic in video game history. It was composed by Hideo Kojima and features a mix of orchestral music, electronic music, and rock music. The soundtrack perfectly captures the atmosphere of the game and helps to create a sense of tension and excitement.

Metal Gear Solid is a masterpiece. It is a game that changed the way stealth games are made. The gameplay is innovative, the story is complex, and the soundtrack is iconic. If you have never played Metal Gear Solid, I highly recommend checking it out.

Metal Gear Solid is an action-adventure stealth video game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation in 1998. It was directed, produced, and written by Hideo Kojima, and follows the MSX2 video games Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which Kojima also worked on. It was unveiled at the 1996 Tokyo Game Show and then demonstrated at trade shows including the 1997 Electronic Entertainment Expo; its Japanese release was originally planned for late 1997, before being delayed to 1998.

Players control Solid Snake, a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from FOXHOUND, a renegade special forces unit. Snake must liberate hostages and stop the terrorists from launching a nuclear strike. Cinematic cutscenes were rendered using the in-game engine and graphics, and voice acting is used throughout.

Metal Gear Solid sold more than seven million copies worldwide and shipped 12 million demos. It scored an average of 94/100 on the aggregate website Metacritic. It is regarded as one of the greatest and most important video games of all time and helped popularize the stealth genre and in-engine cinematic cutscenes. It was followed by an expanded version for PlayStation and Windows, Metal Gear Solid: Integral (1999), and a GameCube remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (2004). It produced numerous sequels, starting with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001), and media adaptations including a radio drama, comics, and novels. In May 2023, Konami announced Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, a compilation of games including Metal Gear Solid scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on October 24, 2023.

From fish tank to metal gear. Nice transition. Good luck reviewing metal gear 2. My favorite yet the most convoluted from the series.

Metal Gear Solid brings back memories from my teenage years. In high school I played guitar in a heavy metal band called Psycho Mantis. Originally we called ourselves The Hellfish, Simpsons reference for those who don't know, but we changed it to Psycho Mantis not long after. Good times.

"For a super soldier who should be briefed on all these things" Naomi is in the briefing with Snake in the scene you mention.
