Summary:
Well, let me say that this game rocks. The mixture of story and action are a fanastic mixture. Most games can't do that sort of thing. Combining a love story with extreme action is perfectly shown in this game. Never dragging and un-interactive. Not to mention the reality of it's story. There's no sci-fi mumbo-jumbo here. The reality to our world's government and society are not stretched nor left-out here. It's integrity and perfection are unmatched. The history and detail behind the story, the personalites of each character, and the heart-pounding action- all in one awsome game. This game will keep you glued to it 'till it's done! Then when it's done, you'll wanna do it again! The game not only drives your imagination and playing fingers wild, but it's ingredients of what makes this game the way it is will surely take you heart, mind, and soul away to a place it's never been before! A must to play. For us real gamers- playing is believing!

Summary:
If there was a nukecular explosion and had to take shelter with only two games they'd be Final Fantasy 7 and METAL GEAR: Solid. BEST ACTION GAME OF ALL TIME. Even God should praise it in a place for gaming heaven.

Summary:
I first played this game prior to the release of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and since them I've played a lot of different games. Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Devil May Cry, and many others. Let me just say this, there is no game that even comes remotely close to Metal Gear Solid. The storyline is the greatest ever created. It has plenty of action, outstanding character development, its always exciting, and even adds a little humor in there. Unlike Splinter Cell, you actually can remember some of the characters with the exception of the main character that you control. You care about each and every character. You care what happens to them, and even at times it can bring out your emotions. I would like to add on to the praise that Hideo Kojima has been showered with by saying that he has found the perfect balance between a game and real life. People complain that the guards can only see a few feet in front of them, but then they turn around and expect Snake to carry thousands of rounds of ammo in his back pocket. By allowing the guards to only see a litte ways in front of them it shows that it is just a game. Then, by forcing you to use your brain on how conservative you are with ammo, it adds some of a challenge in there. This is the greatest game that I have ever played.

Summary:
Well well the famous game Metal Gear Solid by Hideo Kojima. Everyone say that it's great, and yeah it is. SURE IT IS! Hideo had done a several M.G games before this and he never became so famous. But when he had produced this game he became one of the famouiest game directors, and i can understand that, cause metal gear solid is a very good game! It all start in a basement of a warehouse in Alaska. The member of Foxhound Solid Snake swims in the water. (This scene i never forget) And then the adventure starts.

There could have been a little longer introduction about the story you only see Snake when he swims to the basement! But you come in to the story great! Just this guy Snake became also a big legend after this game. Everyone thought that he was a real cool guy, and he is a little cool yeah. There are many cool characters in this game etc. Vulcan Raven. What a cool guy, and what a cool weapon! The way that Hideo Kojima tells his story is wonderful in my opinion. It's a god damn master piece. And the bosses of the game is the 2:nd funniest i ever have been played, only Zelda 64:s is funnier.
But a sad thing with Metal Gear Solid is like with many other games. It's to much action,and very little with puzzles. But i like MGS very very much on some kind of set. I think that's because i love the story and the bosses so much.

Talking about the bosses. They are putted in at the PERFECT place everywhere. Just perfect when you want a boss not to far from another and not to close. Thats really good. I think that Hideo Kojima lost a little of his fantasy in the end of the game when you shall run and get 3 cards. That's a little bit boring in my opinion, but that ends with a funny boss so =). Buy metal gear solid, but i think you already got it!
