  Snake's U.S. debut is a butchered, cheap and unfaithful port of Kojima's classic

  Launching pad for one of gaming's most popular characters, but the game was really fairly flawed and at times confusing.

  By Cubfan082 | Review Date: Jul 22, 2010 | NES

  It is hard to argue that this game was not a complete and total visionary success. Titles in the series have grown in popularity and scope while staying true to the core of the creators gaming ideals. Those ideals bein... Read Full Review

  This classic series' first entry lays a fine groundwork, but numerous frustrations keep it from being a must play title.
