Advantages: Great Game, superb.

Disadvantages: Nothing

I found Metal Gear Solid to be a super game that I would recommend to anybody. It is so addictive that I even roped my computer game-hating wife into having a go, preceded by a huge fight to get back the control pad! In the game, you play the role of a secret agent called Solid Snake and you have to stop a terrorist missile launch. Of course, things are not that simple and lots of plot twists and turns are encountered along the way.

One of the main reasons that I like this game is that it involves a lot of skill and thinking to progress in. You have to listen to clues given by characters within the game and these give you advice about what to do next e.g. At one point you are told that you have to meet up with a women and there is only one place that you can do this on the all-male base. This helps you to work out that you have to meet up with her in the female toilets. It is touches like this, which I find set this game apart from most others that I have played on the Playstation.

After this game, I am eagerly anticipating the release of the sequel for the PS2 and I am going to be right at the front of the shop queue on opening day – should I decide to get a PS2 again! I only hope that this game manages to live up to the hype, unlike the encounter I had with FIFA 2001! A superb game that belongs with the games industry elite!
