Advantages: Story, Gameplay, Shooting, Timeline

Disadvantages: Damn EVA getting through the woods mission!

Solid snake...tkaes a back seat in this prequel to both Metal Gear Solid 1/2, set in the early stages of the cold war in the 1960's this game takes us through the eyes of Big Boss, the father of Liquid, Solid and Solidus.

Having only ever played the 2nd insallment before this game I was still slightly confused by the whole storyline, but this game helped me understnad fully and the way this game combines all the future events is brilliant, young Ocelot, EVA, Big Boss and numerous characters in the game are all relations to future characters on the metal gear solid series.

Things such as killing Ocelot creating a time paradox is a added extra which just gives this game something else, the way the story ties in and gives sense to future events is great, Hideo Kojima has created the best gaming series in the world, a mixture of gameplay and hollywood movie makes this game as exciting as any MGS game has ever been.

The cut scenes are special in MGS, they tell a true story and who didn't feel a little emotional at the very last scene, extras such as a few times during the game being able to move the cut scene camera is just something which adds to this game as well.

The game itself is also brilliant, play it as you wish, stealth or try all guns blazing, can do numerous missions in different ways, such as getting out of the prison cell or killing The End. The most annoying part of the game was trying to get EVA through the forest after she had been impaled with the branch, trying to find food for her every 10 seconds was highly irritating.

Best game in a brilliant series, it was great playing as Big Boss and the opening as Raiden comes down from the parachute is a funny extra.

Best game on the ps2...

Summary: Best game on the ps2.
