It should be played in the obvious way. 1,2 and 3. 3 is a prequel

Yeah, u play 1 then 2 (sons of liberty) and the 3 (snake eater) and then u can go to MGS 4.

Though mgs 4 is actually set after mgs2, mgs3 (snake eater) is a prequel set around 20- 30 yrs before mgs1. But I wouldnt recommend skipping MGS3 though, it will make you appreciate some characters and story elements of MGS4 much better.

What?!

After all this, you returned the game/essential collection? Have fun figuring out what the hell MGS4 is all about, it's not half the game it is without the other three. I would re-buy it if I were you, you're missing out.

he must have bought the essentials and snake eater. He probably just returned Snake Eater, which is the right move.
