I just hope I didn't bash the hell out it![]()
Difficulty: Just Right
Time Spent: 20 to 40 Hours
"All flash, no substance"
Konami just didn't take the chance to jam pack it with extras and at the end of the day if you been living under a rock for the last seven years and don't know the name of Hideo Kojima or a little game of his called Metal Gear Solid, then this is the utimate collection, a good must-buy for people wanting to catch up with this whole entire series and it's complex story of the hero, the legend himself: Solid Snake just before the big one.
(MGS 4) But here's the really bad news and it's kind of a letdown but, if your a complete "gearhead" (Metal Gear fanboi) like me then I got two words of advice and listen good: STAY AWAY! If you have all these games by now, it's absolutely no reason to get this pack whatsoever, trust me on this, your better off playing all the previous installments because there's nothing eye-popping here, just the same old, same old
Konami should have took this chance to cram it with as much crap as possible to increase the replay value but here's the meat of the review:
The Pros: All The Box Art is really top notch especially the PS1 version of Metal Gear Solid and the way looks like a PS2 case, Low price of just $29.
99, You get Director's Cuts of both Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3
The Cons: The original Metal Gear Solid is just a straight port, where is Intergral, Twin Snakes, how about VR missions something extra! Metal Gear Solid 3 has no second disc, what's going on? Your playing Subsistence, right but they took all the bonus features away and that's bad ( so no ****c MG for you): they could have done a little bit more with the cover art, flashy as though it may be, it's nothing special and if they just made the inside look cool or something then I'd be convinced, Portable Ops and the Metal Gear Saga would have been nice to see included, you've played this game before not much is here.
And if you didn't and never played this series until now then go ahead and check this one out, newcomers completely will be satisfied with the end result of Snake's bleak legacy, veterans, not so much. We've seen it all before and it's just a re-release, is all.
I'll Give It 7.
5 out of 10!
