So who do you guys prefer? It's rly a tough choice for me since both of them are such amazing characters but I'm sure many of you have a favourite. It would be nice to know why as well. So go on tell me what you think!

Plz include a spoiler warning for those who may not yet have completed MGS4...Thx.

*SPOILER*SPOILER*SPOILER* I'll say Big Boss. If it weren't for Big Boss setting Snake straight at the end, then Snake would have died with the idea that he was just a government tool.

Solid Snake introduced the story to us, remember the days of first playing MGS, not knowing how complicated the story has now turned out to be. We've lived more memories through Solid Snake. I chose both, just because I think Big Boss is equally badass.

solid snake hands down cos he actually defeated big boss in the original metal gear 2:solid snake. but big boss was more of a tough guy i think. in snake eater he constantly took a pounding and when he got tortured he was proper cut up and lost an eye. i could never imagine solid snake being tortured and cut up they way big boss was in snake eater

Hmm guys, some good arguments for both characters and I see I'm not alone in not being able to choose between the two. A few ppl voted for The Boss though...it would be interesting to know their reasons for choosing her over the "Snakes"!

Wow, it took me a while to decide but I'd say Solid Snake. He's the coolest character ever.

Solid Snake hands down !!

Can't believe he has so little support.

It was Solid Snake that started it all, the story revolves around him. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't even be Metal Gear as we know it today and as fans we should to be thankful to such a legend.

Big Boss doesn't even come close to Snake in Charisma or being more bad ass. Snake's raised more hell than Bigg Boss ever did prior to MGS-4.

Come on, he slayed Gray Fox, the only guy worthy of having the name 'Fox' in Foxhound. Solid Snake toyed with Raiden like a bully in MGS-2 and THE BOSS was killed by THE BIG BOSS but who killed BIG BOSS ? Solid Snake !!

The prequel (i.e) MGS-3 was only done to open up the story more.

As for Snake being genetically engineered, and after having beat MGS-4, you only feel sad for the man.

Metal Gear revolves/d around Solid Snake, he's the man and the ultimate. :D

Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake !!

Without Big Boss there would be no Snake. Big Boss Defeated Null. Snake defeated OLD Big Boss but didnt kill him. Big Boss was zapped with thousands of Volts of electricity and Got shot in the ****ing eye, BIG BOSS WINS

yea but big boss wet himself during the torture, and solid snake was tortured by ocelot in metal gear solid and held his nerve a little better, although big boss's torture seemed more brutal than snakes.

Too hard. Big Boss did try to take over the world and thats not very cool. Solid Snake beat up n Big Boss quit a few times. However after playing through MGS3 and 4 I really respect both of them.

The Boss, she was the wisest of them all. It started with her and her ideologies. Big Boss and Zero simply tried to realize her will.

I think a lot of people would pick The Boss if a game was made to tell her story.

Its such a hard choice because they are both so badass. If this was asked prior to MGS4 I would say Big Boss, but after MGS4 it has to be Solid Snake. He's been through so much yet he still manages to get the mission done *SPOILER* even if it meant killing himself. Not to mention he's beaten the big boss in the past, on more then one occasion.
