I was just wondering if these games deserve the hype they get. I mean i don't doubt for a second there not good games, but due to me about to start them recently, i was just wondering what i sorta mind set i should go into when playing these games?
Also, i heard they have pretty good stories, but due to work and stuff i dont have much time to play at the minute, and was just wondering the lengths of which they take to complete?

The games are worth the hype they are very good I'll start with Metal Gear now it takes around 15-20 hours to complete on your first play though very great story 3 is my favorite.And Silent Hill also very good story they are a little shorter 8-10 hours to complete but they are scary 3 is the best on Ps2 2 is a close second and haven't played 4 or Origins so I don't know about them if you could only pick one or the other I would get Silent Hill

The first Silent Hill is excellent. It takes about 8 creepy hours to complete. Honestly, play this game with an open mind, because..

a) it's old

b) there are multiple endings, so depending on how well you do or how much stuff you collect, you might get a *****y ending.

There may be some people who don't like this game, but even after 10 years it plays like a gem.

Both games are as good as the hype say they are in my opinion.

those games are a must-have especially mgs, it the best of the best during the ps1 era. those games are true cl@ssics. BUT the graphics are old so you will need time to adjust to it. both games are not long. you'll be able to finish them in a week or less.

since your interested in playing ps1 cl@ssics (i saw your other post about xenogears another ps1 cl@ssic), try checking on these games:

vagrant story

lunar silver star story

grandia 1

those gamestogether withff7 made the ps1 a legend imo. lol.

---------------

other games worth checking out:

parasite eve 1 and 2

dino crisis 2 (its way way better than 1)

just remember that the graphics are old! but its worth it if your a true gamer.

The thing i love about the original Silent Hill is the crappy graphics (well by todays standard they are) actually make it scarier cause you cant make stuff out as well the other thing I love about Silent Hill is how its not about shock moments you actually want to escape most the areas as quick as possible cause of how scary they can be which is what puts it a cut above say Resident Evil the atmosphere in this game or indeed the series which is what earns it the well deserved hype like most survival horrors you will get a good 10+ hours depending on your ability to solve puzzles although the next time you play unless you forget everything or play it on a harder setting you can cruise through much quicker. As for MGS lets face it its all about the depth of the storyline I mean even when you kill a boss you hear their life story lol something I dont think any other series has matched most the gameplay is very much down to patience if you lack this and rather fight head on I think you wont get as much out of it as it is a stealth game but you will be driven to complete it. Both these games deserve the hype they get because they have qualities that cant be matched by any other series

Whether they are up to their hype is for you to decide, but they are essential plays! Silent Hill is the only game to have actually disturbed me, to have made me feel fear...not just a resident evil jumpy sort of fear; but an ominous sense of foreboding. As for MGS, well it looks a little dated now but the gameplay is second to none and the storyline drags you in...and when all is said and done who doesnt love choking the guards and running away for fun... "huh? What was that!?"

lunar silver star story complete is an old school rpg. the graphics are really old but the story is what makes it really really great. the story is really good. the theme of the story is about love, which is a rarity in rpg. you will have a blast with this game, esp if youve enjoyed chrono trigger and grandia 1.

i rank lunar as my all time top 5 rpg game. its a MUST have. the story will pick up early mid part of the game, plus the ending is satisfying. that is whats important in an rpg game. lol.

also get dino crisis 2 ok. dino crisis 1 is hard and i didnt like it that much. dino crisis 2 is more of an action game than a survival game. if you like parasite eve 2, you will definitely like dino crisis 2.

so far, those are must have and must played games on the ps1. there are a couple but those are the ones that really stand out. dont get any final fantasy games on the ps1 yet. save it for last... you wont be missing that much anyways imo. (im not just saying it, its true you wont be missing out -- maybe ff8 but the drawing system is what turned me off but the story is great)

make sure you play these 4 games atleast k: grandia 1, xenogears, vagrant story, lunar silver star story complete (psp remake coming this year i think).
