Emperor Pan I
Respected Member
bare with me, if anyone doesnt know why this is an amazing game, or why it is worth buying, read this. If you havent bought the game or tried it, this should change your mind. It was released to close to Halo 2 and half-life 2, both which doesnt compare. However those two are more popualr, and commercials only appeared for this game on tv a month after it's release. It is a brillian game, a step in the right direction, away from the step Metal Gear 2 took.
Gameplay 10/10
the game plays like the other games, with many many more features. The basic stealth system and gameplay, there is no need to go into it is as good as ever.
The fact is the game takes place in a jungle, which adds to the stealth gmaeplay, allowing for several new forms of hiding.
The newest thing to this game is camoflauge. Wearing different camoflauge, many of which can be picked up during the game, and a few others that are unlocked. Camo provides enhanced gameplay, and a much more indepth stealth system. A certain percentage is displayed of how well hidden you are. This is a good indication of how good your camo is in that enviroment.
One aspect I was disapointed in was the food. It became irritating, especialy when food became rotten. Though I have to admit, it was a very interesting addition, and made the game much more realistic.
The removal of radar, which many have become dependant on from the last two games, only added to the experience. It gave a whole new level to gameplay.
Graphics 10/10
The graphics were qimply amazing. It was stunning, from the way the enviroment was made, to EVA's wonderful breasts. Nothing more to say, one of PS2's best
Sound 10/10
The Music was incredible, jsut the introduction music was quite good. The sound acting was quite good, and we have all grown to like Snake's voice. SFX were as good as the last games, jsut basic jungle sounds make a setting more believable.
Story 10/10
This was the part I was afraid of. Metal Gear Solid II had a story that left you saying "what the ****". The Metal Gear Solid III plot was easy to follow, yet deeply satisfying. It had the plot twists, especialy the ending, but left an understandable set up for the Metal Gear NES version. Though Solid Snake is not the main character, the fact a 1964 setting, allows for Big Boss to have his own game and story. His betrayle is all the more understandable, because of the revelations made through the game. Finaly we are given the oppurtunity to understand the story behind Metal Gear, Foxhound, the Patriots, and Big Boss.
Replayability 10/10
with several unlockables, and an extreme hard mode, along with a odd monkey cathinc game, there is a great replay value. Just collecting camo, and the unlockable items is worth it. Not to mention picking up any story plots that were un-understandable.
Overall 10/10
This review was probably un necissary, but It was satisfying to write my feelings about such an amazing game. It took game and story elements that were the best of both games, and created a game that not only felt like a movie with the amazing cinematics, but palyed like it should. All the characters were interesting and developed rather well. Its the game that no one should be without

). Snake vs. Monkey's pretty fun, too. Replaying the game on different difficulties didn't appeal to me, though, since the main reason why I play any MGS game is the deep, twisting story.
