I only got my PS2 in late 2005 and i have to say, from the few games compared to everyone else that i have played, MGS3 is better than all of them. FFX was great and so was MGS2, but other than those 2 no PS2 games that i have played stand up to MGS3. I'm only up to the part on the summit after beatin The End but this game has been prety awesome. My only complaint would be the camera angles, i can't see the enemy sometimes, especially when my radar has no batteries, its not that fun. But, aside from that there are some really nice characters and the same goodness from MGS2. I think this will definitely surpass MGS2 in my book, especially since now you actually use Snake. I just love the MGS series in general now, this is my second MGS game, and i just love the story.

So what was your experience with MGS3 like out of ten?? Right now it's 9.5/10 for me.

Please no spoilers. Thanks :D

I am a big MGS fan. I mean, I am willing to buy a ps3 just because of MGS 4. That was also the reason for me to get a ps2. Although... Raiden as a main character did shocked me and I was very annoyed with it but that was then. :P

MGS 3 is great. A masterpiece. I have completed about 20 times! Great Visuals, great game-play and great story. I'll give it 9.8 out of 10. :D

Great things to look forward to in MGS 4.

Oh... by the way... You really got to play MGS 1 as well.

:D

:) Yeah MGS3 is my favourite PS2 game as well, The game looks and plays awesome plus it has the best story line of any game, I also just recently beat European Extreme which was well hard but I did it.

I am buying PS3 just because of MGS4 :D

oh and if you dislike the camera in MGS3 then you should by the subsistance version which has online play plus a new camera system which you can control.

I think I have beaten MGS3 a total of 4 times. I just love the game, the story is amazing, the visuals are fantastic, characters are all top-notch and the length of the game was nothing short of perfect! And young revolver ocelot is freaking amazing. I love that guy!

Have you played FFXII? that game is amazing. MGS3 is still awsome too, It's the one of the only games I'm never going to trade in.

Subsistence is a much better experience.  That being said, I still love Snake Eater (It's the version I own).

You´re right. Metal Gear Solid games are extremely great! (need a better adjective!) We must be wise, and thank life for feelings like playing MGS 8)

Not a popular opinion but I would give MGS3 A 6. Pretty much hated everything about the game but still it's hard to deny the amount of work that went into the production values, sound, graphics, Cinematics are all top notch but.... still I had no fun with it at all. I like another stealth video game hero who will not be named in this forum.

Top of the Crop of Ps2 in my opinion....

Final Fantasy X was the best game of the last gen.

God Hand was my favoirte Action Game

Devil May Cry 3 was also a really good game.

I always thought most people who like MGS series got into it much earlier. I started at three and could not understand why everybody loved it so much. I guess it's a lot like other franchises... Zelda is a real good example I started with Wind Waker and thought the game play felt realy dated, most Zelda fans will argue that it's not dated it's timeless. Same with MGS, the camera, and the movements of snake just felt like they came from a much older game, I'm guessing most MGS fans would say that it MGS it's suppose to look and feel this way but I just couldn't get into it.

i see what you're saying, with many game series,you gotta be a fan formt he start to appreciate the gameplay. like if mgs3 was my first metal gear game,i'd be like,wtf is up witht he controls and the camera,but since ive been playin since the ps1 game,im used to it. its just like ppl complaining about the resident evil controls. im sure the fans of that series have gotten well used to it by now.

Yes it was one of the best games on the ps2. The story makes the game really good and is possibly the best MGS of the series

MGS3 totally rocked. The story as always was brilliant, though I guess i wasn't too crazy about being in the jungle.

MGS games, according to my ranking:

1) Metal Gear Solid

2) Metal Gear Solid 3

3) Metal Gear Solid 2

So you should definitely check out the original MGS on the PS1 after you finish MGS3.

although your post is for the most part impossible to understand, I think you are complaining about the static camera. If this is a problem for you, you can always play subsistence with the over the shoulder camera...

Oh man...or woman, whichever. The camera in Subsistence is fine, you just gotta get it down, small learning curve. MGS3 is the cherry on the PS2 sundae. If you haven't played it, go get subsistence and love it! Indeed the final fight is amazingly beautiful and brutal at the same time. This game keeps me up all night, even though I gotta get up for work. it is so solid!

game or interactive movie? oh wait that would imply that one could affect the outcome.
Just game or movie then.

I found the gameplay not too compelling but they did a good job on delivering the story.

It could but is not.

The Camera could be annoying at times and to me it was too short.

But I can tell you that the other MGS...Subsistence? That one is better, they fixed the camera and has a lot of extra stuff.

Last Time I checked(This Month) I saw Snake Eater $10 and subsistence for $30...Florida/USA so It may be different somewhere else.

Umm.....Naked Snake is what he called himself at the beginning, not (Solid) Snake..... Game represents the 60's.... Solid Snake was born in '72.

Subsistance is BY FAR the best game I will ever play, I even doubt MGS4 will surpass it. It had all the magic of the master piece of Snake eater, only better 10 times fold. The online portion of the game is far superior than everything I have played to date.
