Metal Gear Solid Series?

I was thinking about getting into the series, but I was wondering if I should play them in the order they came in (1>2>3>4 etc) Or, in Chronological order.

It's best to play them in the order they were released in to fully grasp the story. (1,2,3,4 and PO and PW if you own a PSP)

play them in the order they came out, you greatly appreciate the evolution of the series, this is my favorite series ever, i absolutely love it and wait for the next title as soon as one comes out

Technically 3 precedes the other console releases but as long as 4 is last and 2 is either second or third it wouldnt matter much. So you could do 1234 or 1324 or 3124 lol.Kurushio

lol, but 3 has some cool gameplay mechanics that arent in 1 or 2, and 4 has more than any of them, which is why i say to play them in the order they are released to fully appreciate the evolution, plus SPOILERRRR >>>>>....................................

that part in 4 when he has a flashback of 1 in shadow moses, you get chills if you play them in order, it threw me back to 1998 when i was a kid

and that part in 4 where u fight mantis, it does a quick homage to 1 where it said hideo 1, and you had to switch your memory card to slot 2 so he wont be able to read your mind, so epicccc

I play MGS 2 and beat it, then i skipped to 4. All i can say is the story is super confusing.

First play Metal Gear Soild, before playing read the story leading up to it in I believe the option section. It talks about Zanzabar and other things that happen to snake while in Foxhound during Metal Gear 1&2. Then just basically play them in order, MGS1,MGS2,MGS3(your big boss),then MGS4.

I suggest you go to www.wikipedia.org .... and type metal gear solid..... they will show you the MGS TIMELINE / chronology ..... also beware of spoiler

I played them as they came out, and its my favourite series! Personally I would recommend playing them 1 to 4 in order, the gameplay gets better, and you will be able to see the series evolve as it should.

If you really want to get into series you should start within Metal Gear on NES ( use emulator if u dont have NES or the game).

best to play them in the order they came out(1,2,3,4) but the story is(3,1,2,4) 3 being the begining.Viet_Jay

If you want to fully understand the story then do so.

Just make sure you play Twin Snake rather than the original, if you can.funsohng
