Metal Gear Solid

The disc were clean clean and the original case and booklet were in great condition. It is close to being brand new. I am very pleased and would recommend this seller for future purchases. Thank you for being honest and providing the original jewel case with minimal scratches, original game disc with no scratches and booklet in new condition. The game works great and I am very pleased.

Espionage. Stealth. Run and gun. This game does just about everything. The sniper boss even kind of plays out as a side scroller. This was one of the first games I played that really took on the whole "game through a movie" style. By the end of the game, I felt that the "save the environment" message was coming on a bit strong but to tell you the truth, that's really the worst part of the whole game. The creativity of some of the bosses really put this game a notch above so many other games. A psychic boss who tells you if your careful(havn't set off many traps), cautious(you've saved a lot), and whether or not you have played other games by Konami. There are at least two different paths to attain the most current goal and often there are more than that. I really couldn't say how much I recommend this game to anyone who can get their hands on it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is just simply a masterpiece.

I rue the day this title came out for Playstation. It was considered so original, it influenced many, many stealth-type games that followed it. Too many.Where do I start with the things I hate about this game?1. It's way too difficult. You get awfully sick of hearing "Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!" every 10 seconds. There should have been a way to ratchet down the difficulty even further for 'tards like me. "Easy" mode really isn't. Sheesh. I wonder what "Hard" mode was like.2. Way too many cutscenes! I've never seen anything like it. There's one cut scene that goes on for like 30 minutes. This has got to be the talkiest video game I've ever played. And these dialogues are all so silly, and you're pretty much forced to watch them or you won't be able to understand what's going on. In fact, I would say that most of your time in this game will be spent watching cutscenes. It's not so much a video game as a movie in which you are occasionally allowed to press buttons.3. I hate video games that won't let you pause at certain moments, as this won't. I wouldn't advise playing this if you have a wife or mother who's gonna occasionally ask you to help her in the kitchen: you'll find yourself saying, "Yeah, I'll help you after this scene finishes . . . in about half an hour! Not allowed to pause it for some reason!"4. Even more excusably, there's not way to pause the cutscenes. You can't even pause the codec dialogues!5. There are many scenes in which the game disables your weapons and accessories for no logical reason other than that if it didn't, the scene would be too easy.6. There are far too many boss monsters. It's like every other encounter is a boss monster. The first part of the game (say, up until the first encounter with Revolver Ocelot) is pretty great, but that's not representative of the game: after that it's basically an unending series of boss monsters.7. Frustratingly, you have to fight several boss monsters twice because they never seem to die. Having to "kill" the same boss monster over and over again makes you feel like you're going in circles.8. The principals having these deep discussions about delicate emotional issues while an enemy is shooting at them or while a timer is ticking down. Was this written by a 14-year-old?9. The system for flattening oneself against a wall is not ready for prime time: most of the time you find yourself flattened against the wall and you didn't mean to do this. This will get you killed several times as you are thus basically standing still, allowing your enemies to shoot you. It should have been running up to a wall in combination with pressing L1 or something.10. The way your guy stands there uselessly for about two seconds after choking somebody.11. The way you can easily bypass critical lifesaving devices, such as the thermal goggles.12. The way the game takes all these cheap shots at you: you can't look ahead because your radar is "jammed" and then you get shot by a security camera. Or blown up by a mine.13. The way you are prevented, after having killed a boss, from going back into the battle area and collecting the stuff you didn't collect during the battle. Is it there or not? So why can't I get it now?14. The absurd anti-nuclear message at the game's finale.

This game is named as one of the greatest of all time for a reason. It can be considered one of the first “modern video games”. I mean that despite its over-twenty-year existence, this game does not feel awkward or obsolete in its gameplay or story. It may be the third game in the Metal Gear series, but it is really the one that kickstarted its popularity worldwide. Of course, I still recommend playing Metal Gear 1 and 2 for the MSX (the games have ports on home consoles or can be emulated), but this is certainly a fine place to start an incredible, memorable, and moving journey through a world that, although fictional, still manages to feel alive.

Got greatest hits version? I was expecting the original

It had been years since I've played this game, I don't really care for shooter games much, but I like this one and this is probably the best metal gear solid I ever had the oportunity to ever play (I played a demo of the one that involves a jungle, snake eater I think, I didn't care for it) I forgot how unique this game was in getting the player involved. I have not beat this game yet since I got my recent copy, I had to take a break, but overall if your not a whiny cry baby about details in graphics this is a fantasic game.

I ordered this and was given the black label game with everything in mint condition. I am beyond thrilled to experience this game just as I did as a child! Thank you!

The Game comes whitout the manual and whit the Jewel case broken, the disc are fine thou.
