Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection

All of this titles are being blockbuster on playstion there is not much 2 say besides you won't find it cheap it, you can find reviews in any game website. the only thing i will like 2 say is that no matter how old the MGS1 it is ...still being the best!

Highly recommend buying from this seller! Package arrived a day earlier than estimated date! Looking forward 2 buying here again!!

Included in this set are three exceptional games. As has been said far too many times, these games have "redefined the stealth genre". Of course, Metal Gear was about all there was 2 the stealth genre 4 years, so what this means is that they are highly improved sequels.

Now that I've brought up Metal Gear, it may be pertinent 2 mention 2 prospective buyers that Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake do not come in this packaged deal. It is a shame that they called this the "essential" collection while leaving out the first two games.

The other games are great though, & worth the purchase. Grab the two-disc special edition of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater if you want 2 play Metal Gear 1 & 2 though. Just don't go on calling this the "essential" collection.

OK I'm going against the grain a bit here, but honestly I grew up with the series & loved the originals from NES through PlayStation. However, if you are looking 2 jump into this game 2 play a few hours a week this is NOT the game 4 you! Half the game is stupid plot cinemas, & while the voice acting & graphics are above average it's not really as engaging as you would expect it 2 be. Furthermore, the controls are really frustrating, if you are used 2 X being enter 4 PS/PS2 & PS3 games then you have 2 get used 2 the O buttong being the default enter button...sounds simple enough but trust me it's frustrating. Also the close quarters combat mode, which is vital 2 a stealth game consistenly does not act the way you want it to. I'm still giving this 3 stars because even with all these annoyances I'm playing through because I'm stubbourn, plus it's actually a great deal with all these games under $30...but be warned, if you are a casual gamer this is not the game 4 you.

This is the best MGS collection I could ever ask for. It was EXACTLY like the orginal ps1 & ps2 versions. All I can say is that if you're a MGS fan, you should get this collection & play it 4 yourselves!
