Any other fans of Metal Gear Solid? This is kind of the forgotten blockbuster of the Holiday season. I'm not seeing much hype for it. This is my most anticipated game since, like, Metal Gear Solid 2, 3-4 years ago. I'm so fucking psyched that I beat MGS- Twin Snakes on Sunday and MGS2- Sons of Liberty today. And I tried to beat the first Metal Gear but it's borderline impossible. You know how it is. Old NES games, eh? It's out tomorrow, here... I probably won't be able to buy it, but I'm running to Blockbuster and making sure I get it. Sidenote, I think this game's soundtrack is going to be something remarkable. Harry Greggson William's MGS3 theme is easily the best video game track of the last few years, and the glitchy tune when Snake is stalking the soldiers and systematically slaying them in the forest is so neat... from E3 2003. Jesus, I can't wait to take control of Snake... or Big Boss... or whoever this is... |

Yeah I guess Halo 2 kinda just snatched all of the fanfare from all the other good games. |

Supposedly, it's lighter on the Codec, though I never had a problem with that anyway. The story hype/theories surrounding the release of this game have been great. Konami did a great job at mindfucking everybody with the setup. Avoiding spoilers, it's the story that's going to make this game. I had a problem with Raiden, though. A momumental mistake that they didn't make twice. Did they actually think it would be cool to take control of somebody that WASN'T Solid Snake? All video game characters ever are boring, physically unnattractive pussies compared to him. |

The official IGN review is in, as of a few minutes ago... 9.6. Fucking A. Presentation There are several new things to do in the game, but all are easy to navigate. Customizing the backpacks also helps out the in-game action by speeding up the changes. 10 Graphics As good as it gets on the PS2 with individual blades of grass, ropes on a bridge that can be shot out and tons of other details scattered all over the place. Characters fare just as well. 10 Sound Quality voice acting as always in all aspects and a full range of sound effects that populate the world with noises in the Dolby Pro Logic II setup. 9.6 Gameplay It's the best iteration of the stealth espionage action seen to date with a world of options available to players. The lack of camera views is understandable, but still a bit disappointing. 9.0 Lasting Appeal It's easy to see people playing through at least twice if not many more times than that. Different strategies and the frog hunt are the carrots on the stick for replayability here. |

Nothing but good to say about the story, thank God. So it's quite a bit better than MGS2. ''This is a true return to form and a hell of a way for the series to wrap up several plot lines in an exciting way. They don't get much better than this.'' |

I think people who don't like the cut scenes should not be allowed to play Metal Gear Solid. In the UK I believe they've pushed the release back by about 5 months which is SHIT. |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Due for release on 11/03/2005 |

Holy shit, you guys have to wait 5 months for this? I don't pay attention to European release dates... is it always this way? Oddly, over here, we're getting this game even before Japan... Hideo Kojima has a grudge against the Japanese gaming climate right now, I think. The release date was yesterday, but I probably won't be able to get this for a couple days... it takes a while for games to get to my remote island in the sea. But I've got Metroid Prime Echoes to keep me sane until then. Metal Gear is the apple of my eye, though. Anyone have it yet? |

The game takes place in 1967, so I don't think it's a Walkman. Though that would be really groovy. It's some kind of ultra-high tech strap on radio with enormous ear buds so you can listen to the Carpenters when you're in the jungle. Actually, I hear you can actually tune into different stations using it... you can hold up guys and make them give you secret frequencies, including a jazz station. |

yeah I do like cut scenes.. BUT in MGS2 it was more cut scene than game.. and when you got to play you played with rayden WTF!!?!? i still loved mgs2. total mindfuck |
||||||||

I just beat this. It was fantastic. The gameplay is amazing. The story is great. Let's all give this game a hand. clapclapclapclapclapclap I think I'm going to go join gamefaqs and talk for hours on their messageboard about this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck, I got to buy it! like, NOW! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Awesome. I expect this to be the best game I've played in years. I still don't have it... I spent the last week cleaning up Metroid Prime Echoes, GTA-SA and Killzone... will be getting this tomorrow. I too loved the end of MGS2. It just went totally nuts. Truly a video game not ashamed to be a video game at all. |

My borther bought it, and I haven't seen his fat ass for days. |

Fuck this game is sexcellent. Great characters, cut scenes, graphics, sound, script, everything. How can I kill thee, let me count the ways. The only thing about it that isn't brilliant is the old school camera. Gets me in some messes sometimes. I love the chick that saves your game and the conversations you have with her about '60s movies. Bond and Godzilla and all that. Crazy game, there's nothing like Metal Gear. Probably the game of the year for me. |

i'll have to wait until march, but i want it!! : ) (too bad there isn't Revolver Ocelot on this one, the new/old/different "Ocelot" looks crap compared to him... (it can't be the same person can it?!)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's ocelot when he was younger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow °_° well, he looked/will be looking better when he was/will be old! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Ocelot is in it and he is inexperienced and cocky. You get to kick his ass 1000 times. There's some sexy ladies in this game. Snake can stare at their tits in first person during cut scenes by holding the R button. Great fun, great character models. They make my groin feel funny. |

I don't want to bum yorupeans out but I don't think that March release is even definite, I've seen July quoted in two places. |

damn. : | oh well, at least it would make a good game for the holidays.... |

What a great ending, finally a AAA game that actually DOES blow its load. I laughed, I cried, I started a new game with some bonus items. I really do lament the camera, though... this beautifully rendered jungle, and you're STILL limited to the video-gamey overhead camera. It feels so archaic always having to go into first person view to get a good look at the graphics/situations. Intolerable for me, at times. Worse than ever now, since the levels are so wide open. Very easy to run head-on into guards during intense evasion. But still, the game is fantastic. The boss battles are so inspired. It took me like 2 hours to beat ''The End'', heh... ''The End'' and ''The Sorrow'' really creeped me out. The final battle against you-know-who in your-know-where might go down as one of the most unforgettable video game sequences ever, for me. Incredibly beautiful, that awesome theme song, the gravity of the situation, the absurdity of it all... man. Really intense finish, left nothing to be desired. That's a hell of an accomplishment considering the loose ends the game had to tie up, the legacy of the MGS story, the expectations, etc. Fucking delivered. I too needed to log onto game messageboards to talk about it as soon as it was over. |

I've just started playing this great game yesterday. I have killed "The End" (what an awesome battle) and am now at the huge facility. Me love this game long time. |

I was dead-curious about the analord 3 and 4 pics on the rephlex site, so I had to ask a question. And I wanted to post my comments on this great game which I have been burning through. I still haven't gotten Analord 10 yet, and refuse to listen to samples but will post my thoughts when I get it. I'm going back to playstation and alcohol now. (Im trapped inside my house; and shitty roads) |
