Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater Review
User Submitted Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater Reviews

One of the finest on PS2, and the "beginning" of a superb series!
I'm not very good at reviewing, but I've gotta say, this is one of the best games I've ever played on the PS2. It's absorbing and emotional all the way to the end. I played MGS2 SOL a few years ago and enjoyed that a lot, but Snake Eater made the character Snake shine, and his arch nemesis Ocelot. The cinematics and music score were awesome in their execution, and for this particular game, the cinematics really draw the gamer in. I think I just might play MGS2 all over again since Snake is now my favorite virtual hero. A+++++

The beginning
Yeah I know, it's called "Metal Gear Solid THREE" but it's actually the first story of the ENTIRE Metal Gear Series - you play as Naked Snake who is actually Big Boss, the father of Liquid, Solid, and Solidus Snake. But he looks JUST like Solid Snake and even has his voice.
Gameplay is very-slightly different with the addition of "Close Quarters Combat" which adds depth into fighting rather than the throwing/punch-punch-kick from the first MGs. There's no radar in this game, which gives it a more realistic feel having the player rely on different uniforms of camo and face paint along with motion detectors and sensors to avoid being caught by guards. There's also a stamina bar which can be replenished by eating animals and plants you take down (the stamina bar is basically energy - calories and as it decreases, Snake will not be as physically "in shape" (harder time moving, difficulty to aim a gun - because he's hungry!). Typical Alert-Evasion modes are still present, but I have to say there are parts in the game where it can be rather difficult to get out of Alert mode, but when that happens I just run the whole way through to get to the next destination. Controls are the same for the most part but you're forced to use the analog stick to run, and grabbing enemies is the O button which is the CQC button. Metal Gear veterans will definitely enjoy this game, I personally like it the best out of the first 3 MGS (can't judge with the 4th yet as I'm still playing it on the PS3). After a week or so I've already beaten it 5 times!
Personally I say don't play it on "Very Easy" because it's amazingly easy and there's almost no challenge with the "EZ Gun." I suggest MGS veterans start playing it on normal mode.
Story-wise, I loved this story better than the previous Metal Gear titles , it's a bit more real-ish (it takes place in 1964 during the Cold War), and has less of that philosophical babble and convoluted dialog from Metal Gear Solid 2, and has a simpler storyline perhaps easier to understand than the first Metal Gear Solid.
Overall, I give this game 5 stars, an A+, 100%, whatever - just to me it's an excellent game, and Metal Gear fans are bound to like this one and I give a "Highly Recommended" to Metal Gear Solid 3.

Metal Gear Solid 3
Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 were amazing games with basically the same scenory but amazing scenes that were well done with a dramatic touch and great voice acting. Snake Eater takes the gameplay to a whole new level with a change of scenory to more of a jungle feel. If you enjoyed the first two games, then you will definately enjoy this game.

Greatest prequel to the Metal Gear Solid Saga!
Ok, I have been a fan of the MGS seires since 1998 (the first MGS1), so I know what I'm talking about...this is one of the greatest prequels I have yet to play, I purchased this back then in 2004 when it was released. It is fun, entertaining and a great storyline - and the game keeps that whole stealth feel to it in the jungle. Kojima surely didn't entirely disappoint with this one. However as I played this game more and more over the past years, it occurred to me the more I play it, the more un-realistic the game feels and how "silly" it was overall the other MGS games, here are some of the flaws / disappointments:
1. The Cobra Unit: Which was simply the worst boss unit / characters in the MGS saga. The unit was so superhuman and unreal I didn't even who to begin to criticize. Probably the worst of them all was "The Pain" who has the ability to control bees at his will. During the boss fight, he does the most idiotic movements ever. The game lacked any background information about them, all we know is that they are unit of "The Boss" and fought a long side with her. And none of the "special abilities" were explained in the game at all. Probably the only decent "cool" that I actually liked was "The Sorrow", who appears from time to time in the game and helps Snake throughout the game.
2. Simple Storyline: Ok, I liked the storyline it was "ok"...but it was too simple. It was somewhat predictable of what happened in the end so it wasn't a shocker when It happened. I will not spoil it here, but it wasn't a huge plot twist like the previous games. It was just straight forward.
3. Cheesy cut-scenes: There was some crappy / lame and unnecessary cut-scenes, for instance there was some about EVA doing stupid "Evil Knievel" like stunts with her motorcycle.
4. The Boss: I really hated her, never liked her from the beginning to end, she was overrated and unbelievable. A woman at that time in the 40's could have never join the Army and become a elite-soldier and do special Op missions in the 60s, but I'm glad you get to blast her in the game.
But overall, the game was absolutely fantastic. That is why I'm still giving it 5 stars. Not as strong or as powerful as the first, but still up there.
5 out of 5!
