The Game Have Start To Move
Metal Gear Solid, for many gamer's, defined the stealth genre. Picking up from it's immediate predecessors in Metal Gear
and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid had players sneaking around and avoiding fights that would lead to 
bigger problems like you were the leader of the Chess Club in High School again. The story, while somewhat confusing in
parts, is much larger than in-game events and sets the stage beautifully for Kojima's later sequels in Sons of Liberty and
Guns of the Patriots. Combined with Hideo's love of intricately small and sometimes absurd details helps craft a game that
will forever live in infamy.

GRAPHICS
Stepping into the hay-day era of Sony's Playstation in 1998, Metal Gear Solid was a masterpiece in graphics during it's time,
despite the consoles issues in rendering. The 3d environments the player will explore whilst traversing the famous Shadow
Moses Island are sure to leave a lasting impression. Even with the central theme, naturally, being a rather unassuming
military base there are still many locations that have etched themselves into my mind and many gamer's alike.

The character models might be a little lacking, sure, but the codec calls can clear up the confusion on a couple characters
at least. And when two characters are meant to look alike for reasons that shall go unnamed for the sake of the uninitiated,
they really do look alike.

SOUND
The music and sound effects in the game are rather standard, and generally what you'd expect from an action game. The 
music and ambiance, for the most part, are where the game truly shines. With such memorable tracks as "Encounter" and
the ending theme "The Best Has Yet To Come", the player will be on their toes from start to finish. If the music that assaults 
you when the legendary "!" appears above an enemies head isn't enough to get your blood pumping, you may have a problem.

ADDICTIVENESS
While the game is rather straighforward- for the most part- I couldn't really find myself playing this game more than 2-3 times, 
personally. Especially after playing some of the later games in the series such as Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which I could
play over and over again in one sitting if it wasn't hazardous to my health. Regardless, for the player that does find this game a holy
grail there are many things to keep the player playing even after the credits roll.

Secret passages, easter eggs, and minor changes can appear to players who become a little more wise once the game is finished-
whether it's the color of the Cyborg Ninja, or the fact that you can have a wolf puppy piss on you for an easy walk through the cave
system (just to name a FEW), Kojima will have you guessing every time you click play.

STORY
My... My god. Where do I even begin? The story, as with every video game with "Hideo Kojima" listed anywhere in sight, is simply
astounding. It's full of twists and turns, and will LIKELY leave you asking more questions than it answered- and you'll love it. A lot 
of gamers, myself included, found this to be one of the most interesting parts of the Metal Gear Solid series once you look past the
game play mechanics and enigmatic ludicrous situations.

Taking place after the events of Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land chronicled in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the
MSX2 and NES systems, Metal Gear Solid puts players once again in the shoes of the ever-badass Solid Snake. His mission? To
find out what exactly is going on behind the scenes of a terrorist takeover of the Nuclear Disposal Facility on Shadow Moses Island
off the coast of Alaska. Snake soon finds out that nothing can be quite that simple, as he learns of the possible existence of yet another
Metal Gear.

DEPTH
The game isn't generally something you'll sit down and take it in just one or two sessions. This isn't your run-of-the-mill shooter storyline
where you really don't care about what's going on, as long as you can play online after you've got the controls down. After sitting down and
playing this game after so long it took me about 8 hours simply to get through HALF the game, and it's even arguable as to whether halfway
through the game is even where I am.

DIFFICULTY
Coming back to this classic PSX game after being spoiled by such modern luxuries as 2 control sticks can be hard. The controls feel a little
strange, and the aiming can be a nightmare which will generally work in the games favor of challenging the player to play the game as if
you were actually trying to be a spy. The lack of a tutorial (unless I simply missed them, which would be just plain silly) for certain IMPORTANT actions can also leave the player confused on certain mechanics until they experiment with them their selves. (Pro tip: Square grabs bad guys, repeatedly pressing square with someone grabbed will break their necks). However, like many games from the playstation days, the wonky controls can sometimes lead to a much more memorable game.

An example that's light on spoilers would be a fight with a certain revolver slinging bad guy. You had to be careful due to hazards in the room and aim your shots accordingly, and pay attention to your surroundings. However, in an attempt to FIX these awkward shooting scenarios, the remake- Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes- allowed for shooting in first person, which made the iconic boss fight almost laughably easy.

OVERALL
If you're a player looking to relive the game that truly brought Metal Gear to the next generation, wanting to play a decent stealth game,
or just someone with an itch for a long and well written story, look no further than Metal Gear Solid. It can be frustrating- in fact, certain parts
are DEFINITELY going to frustrate the ever-loving hell out of you- but once you see the credits rolling and  you hear The Best Has Yet To Come playing through your headphones/earphones/speakers, you'll be left with a feeling of satisfaction that you aren't likely to find in any other game. That's a promise.

 Awesome5000: There seems to be another way to defeat Psycho Mantis by destroying the left and right statue. Here's a video of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHVf_ZvdUkE I'm glad I found this, because I just wanted to start this game. :)

 or if im mistaking,when he said,"Its no good ,i cant do it!" you get the pic...ughhhhhh.cant get past that ,i guess i cant get to the other 1/2 of the game as of this moment
Awesome5000 03-16-15 - 04:48 PM
 Wow..i tried, and all i can think about now is solid's voice, when he quoted later on in the game when he said "Its no use,i cant do it!"

Dahaka 01-05-15 - 12:01 PM
 It's very tricky but not impossible to defeat Psycho Mantis with the controller 1.
Awesome5000 01-05-15 - 11:44 AM
 um,how do you get pass the boss where you need to switch controlers to be able to go further upto sniper wolf ,you cant get pass psycho mantis with just the 1st controler!? doesnt let you configure a second,thats odd
Awesome5000 12-03-14 - 09:56 PM
