Fave Metal Gear Solid (Excluding MGS4) (POLL)

I'd say MGS3. Mainly because of the storyline, and also because it has better graphics than any other Metal Gear Solid (once again, excluding MGS4) Since 90% of the people would choose Guns of the Patriots, I decided to exclude it.

Metal gear solid.
It didn't have inane story elements and unimportant plot lines like the others did or atleast as much as they did.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The pinnacle of the series. Focused story and focused gameplay as well.

Snake Eater because of the Cold War theme. It was genious.

I guess MGS3, no...MGS2. What a giant leap that game was.

Scratch that, MGS1, fantastic game, got it started.

Even if 4 was included in the poll I would still say Snake Eater.

Easily MGS3.

Metal Gear Solid2 is my personal favoritefollowed by MGS3 and MGS1. MGS2>MGS3>MGS1>MGS4>MGS:PO

MGS3:S. doesn't get anymore perfect then that. though i love them all.

I'd say Metal Gear Solid. It kicked the series off perfectly. It had a great story, great characters and I just had so much fun playing it through 4 or 5 times. The nostalgia is still bubbling within me :D

MGS1 baby. Great story and classic bosses that had backstory and werent just random.

Choosing between MGS and MGS 3 is just unfair.

They're all great games, and excluding PO its pretty close overall, but I gotta give it to MGS3 subsistence, even if MGS4 was in the competition. It just had a certain something that pushes it above and beyond the rest of them, and the new camera and online modes introduced in Subsistence perfected it. I wasn't crazy about MGSPO though, since the psp has only 1 analog I thought it would have been much better if the camera was over the top instead of behind the back. Still a good game though

MGS2: Sons of Liberty was my favorite one. Mainly because the Plant chapter felt fresh with Raiden and I enjoyed playing as Raiden

All of them are overrated. The MGS series has more cutscenes than gameplay.

Splinter Cell>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MGS.

mgs2 for me i like raiden, but of them all 4 would be my favorite.

mine is 4,2,1,3

snake eater, i dont play through it very often anymore because i have the version with the crappy camera and it annoys me alot. need to get subsistence =[

The first MGS on PSOne was miles better than them all IMO.

Snake eater no doubt. When GS gave it only AA i was like what?

yeah i agree. i thought he's like a pretty boy acting to be a tough one.. but raiden with sword is cool, but AI snake in MGS2 is a sick he can kill enemies with ease..

MGS1 barely beats out MGS3 in my eyes. But asking me to pick my favorite MGS game is like asking me to pick my favorite super model, either way all the choices are amazing.

MGS2. It had a fantastic storyline and the graphics at the time were really outstanding.
MGS3 was my least favourite because the controls were rather horrible, as was the storyline (way too simplified).

Snake Eater sucked. How in the **** is it beating SoL on this poll?

Easily MGS1. It's what got me into the franchise in the first place.

this poll is like what is your favourite flavour of icecream, they all taste great anyway!

Completely agree with you. I felt that maybe Kojima intentionally simplified 3 because of the backlash MGS2's story created. In my eyes though the story felt very lazy. I mean, you have a guy who fired bee's at you for no reason. MGS2 had stupid bosses as well (like Fatman) but Kojima took the time to give you an emotional connection to the situation (Stillman's death motivated you to get revenge). In MGS3 it was just y'know.. Some guy shooting bee's!

The controls in MGS3 feels so blocky and un-fluid.

I always have a problem choosing between MGS1 and MGS2 in these polls. I think I'll choose MGS2 for today. The gameplay is the best of the three. My only issue with it is the lengthy CODEC dialogue.
