This is a game everyone should play!
Originally released for the Playstation back in 1998, it's now available on the PC.

You are Solid Snake, sent on a mission to infiltrate a nuclear warhead base, and stop the detonation of a nuke.

This is not the usual go in, beat em up or shoot em up.
The less fighting that goes on the better.
This game is all about stealth.

You start of with nothing but a scope and a packet of cigarettes.
Going through the game you are able to pick up a handgun, machine gun, cardboard box for hiding in, stinger missiles - used for shooting down helicopters, infra red lenses and so on.

The story line to the game is excellent and really gives the game an extra added feel to it.
All through the game you have to be silent, and creep past cameras, guards and lights, but every so often you have to battle a boss.

It starts off easy with "Revolver Ocelot" just a plain one on one gun shoot out, but through the game it gets harder, shooting down the Hind D with stinger missiles, battling with 4 people in a lift who you cannot see because their wearing stealth suits and so on.

You end up fighting Metal Gear itself, where it starts firing rockets at you. This is difficult and requires fast action!
Then lastly you end up fighting your own brother Liquid Snake to end the game.

This game will take you virtually all day to complete, which sounds like a short life, but once you complete it, depending on how you submitted to the torture in the middle of the game, you can end up with a stealth suit or a bandana.

This allows you to do the game again with stealth, or if you have the bandana, unlimited ammo.

This gives the game a longer life, but to be honest once you have completed it a couple of times you tend not to play it again because you know all what happens.

Never the less it is still a game to buy and try out.
