Metal Gear Solid (PS) Reviews

I first played this game over 10 years ago when it was first released on the PlayStation. Recently I managed to take another look at this game and I was immediately impressed with how good this game was for its time. Game controls are responsive and general gameplay and layout is fun but the story line is what sets the game apart. Codec ...  Read the complete review

This was another step in the right direction for the Playstation ,after the huge success of Resident Evil, Tomb Radier and Gran Turismo. The big blockbuster games were coming thick and fast , each one trying to better the other. So when Konami threw their name in the hat they had to come up with something quite special to compete with the big ...  Read the complete review

The controls in Metal Gear Solid can be tricky to get to grips with. It can be easy to accidentally lean against a wall when aiming to run past it (or vice versa). The analog controller comes recommended, but only for precision of direction - for a stealth game it's perhaps surprising that Snake runs regardless of how far the stick is pushed. As ...  Read the complete review

The absolute classis - Advantages: Innovative - brilliant ideas, A real experience, Great gameplay and storyline - Disadvantages: It has to end

Every so often a game will appear carrying months (and occasionally years) of hype and anticipation on it's shoulders. Some deliver the goods, and become regarded as classics (Final Fantasy VII, Silent Hill), whilst others stumble over their reputations whilst in development (Soul Reaver, Driver 2 and Tomb Raider 3 among countless others) and ...  Read the complete review

This game is excellent. You don’t get hooked straight away like on the final fantasy games, which in my opinion are the greatest games ever made and the most addictive. The further you go into the game the more the storyline unfolds with many twists and turns and the more you get hooked. I was on this game every day almost until I completed ...  Read the complete review

I saw this in the front page and I have to review it. Metal Gear Solid is the best tatictal espionage action ever made and a lot of new games still fail where MGS is sucessful. The game engine is not limited like other 3rd-person action games. If you play Resident Evil, Spriggan and others you will understand. You have many options and every ...  Read the complete review

I think recently bought metal gear solid and find it very hard. I think that the developers of the game have done a very good job on the look and storyline of the game, however the game controlls are very hard and all you get to help you with is a stupid manga comic which was a good idea but doesnt explain enough to let a new person to the game be ...  Read the complete review

I have just completed playing MGS1 and thought i would share my views. firstly i know what your thinking 'what took me so long to play it?' well i never had a psone, now that im an owner of a ps2 i had a crack on MGS2 and loved it, so it seemed daft not to give the original a spin! allthough the is a massive graphics difference ...  Read the complete review

I know it's getting damn old, but it doesn't mean that this title couldn't still run for best ever game on the PS1. The only disadvantage I can think of for this game is...there isn't enough of it. Picture the scene...you're laid up against a concrete block, heart in your throat, waiting for a genetically enhanced guard ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion Metal Gear Solid is still one of the greatest games on the Psx. For anyone with a bit of patience and a passion for games that involve a little more than spraying bullets around in the general direction of an enemy it is a must have! The game has a fair amount of levels and is very replayable so you will undoubtably get a ...  Read the complete review

On first opening the box of Metal Gear solid, one will find two disks and a what is seemingly a regular instruction booklet....Wrong...in it's entirety, Metal Gear Solid is about as enthralling and convincing as a walk through the Dong Ha province mid vietnam. The booklet itself is a special ops briefing, informing you of secret killing ...  Read the complete review

Okay, first things first, metal gear solid is SHORT. If you're looking for a huge game with a massive playing time, you won't find it here. But, in terms of gameplay experiences, this is big. Fancy abseiling down a building or fighting a helicopter? Alrighty then- here it is. I would recommend this game to anyone. Good points ...  Read the complete review

The gaming history has seen many great titles entered into its books. For instance Mario’s entrance was a storm as was Gran Turismo and many other great titles for different genres and different consoles. One game that will stand out in my mind for a long time is that of Metal Gear Solid. A legendary break through in gaming history was ...  Read the complete review

Metal Gear Solid, is like a rollercoaster. You spend ages waiting for it, spend about 2 minutes of pure thrill and exhiliration riding it, and then get bored and probably only re-ride once or twice. Metal Gear Solid is, possibly the greatest video game of all time. The graphics would stand strong against some playstation two games, and ...  Read the complete review

You are Solid Snake, covert operative and ex-member of special force FOX HOUND, coaxed out of retirement to foil the plans of the rest of your old unit who have aquired nuclear weapons capability and are threatening to unleash those weapons unless their demands are met. You have to stop them. Sounds like a standard, cut-and-paste adventure ...  Read the complete review

Consumers tire of the same "Shoot me, I am a bad guy" game. Then came along a game that revolutionized all, and that game is called Metal Gear Solid. Konami developed an original Metal Gear for the NES a long way back. The game never did get the recognition even though the same concept was implied. Through much later technology, Konami ...  Read the complete review

just buy it ! you will have fun with it ! - Advantages: real fun, the best, get away - Disadvantages: there are no

Nobody likes me and I dont really care I'm not considerate and I'm not at all fair I live by my rules and I do what I please And unbelivably my actions won't cease Why wont they block him the majority say And then forever he will go away But they do not want to, they still want me here For somebody to ...  Read the complete review

In my eyes, this is one of the best games that has ever been released on the Sony Playstation. It is the game that has everything...tension, atmosphere, drama, real life situations...the lot!!! You play the part of a secret agent called Solid Snake working alone to undermine a terroist plot and take on some pretty poweful enemys. What ...  Read the complete review
