    Jan 1, 2001
    Pros: Must I say?
    Cons: too short and easy

    Summary: For all the doubters that say this game wouldn't turn out revolutionary, I say, go smite yourself because this is the best Playstation game ever! Why then Xeno3998, do I only give it a 4/5? Well, it's because Metal Gear Solid is so good that it's bad, ... read more

    Mar 6, 2004
    Pros: Great Gameplay, Good Storyline, Very Original.
    Cons: A bit difficult for some.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Jan 24, 2002
    Pros: Good Storyline, great graphics, easy gameplay
    Cons: as other's said... it had to end. Some codec and other segments were too long.

    Summary: Do you like action/adventure games, but maybe are sick of the traditional first-person shooter game? In my opinion too many games have the “run through the room as fast as you can, and shoot everything you can as fast as you can” plot line. After ... read more

    Pros: Great graphics (for the time), wonderful score and voice acting, incredibly detailed
    Cons: Perhaps a bit too cinematic, fairly short

    Summary: When this game was first released, an incredible amount surrounded it. Well I can safely say that the game lived up to the hype, and you can trust me on that. It is tough to tell about the story without giving something away (apparently it is a ... read more

    Pros: Great Story, wide range of weapons and items!
    Cons: To short and easy

    Summary: Metal Gear Solid was one of the first games I received for my Playstation during Christmas of 1999. I had picked this one out because I had played demos of it before and I loved it. Ofcourse during a demo I could only play about 15 minutes of the game, ... read more
