What Gamespot Users have to say about Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection
- Rating:7
While it is a perfect assortment of games and a neat collector's object, I feel there are too many missed opportunities.
I recently got my hands on The Essential Collection. It's quite impressive! The box art is fabulous. Every game comes in a separate box with original box art from the series' artist. The three games included are the orig... Read Full Review

This is a review of this compilation package, NOT explicitly of the games it contains. As such, why is it inferior?
This is a review of this compilation package, NOT explicitly of the games it contains. I will put up reviews of those separately, and in greater detail. The Solid (Good) • This can be bought for $20, and if you have ... Read Full Review

Missing tons of extras. Better get games individually.
This package, which collects the first three games in the Metal Gear Solid trilogy, it's meant for gamers new to the series rather than fans. The essential problem with this is that new converts can possibly find the thr... Read Full Review

Great pack of the first 3 seasons of this "SOUP OPERA"
I've never liked MGS 2, but the price of this package is a good invitation to play it. The MGS games are good enough, but I don't really like them since they have too much cutscenes, codec calls, and ridiculous things... Read Full Review

An amazing collection of the three best Metal Gear games before MGS4
When I first heard of this package, I was immediately interested. All three games are addicting to this day. Metal Gear Solid is different because of its graphics and controls, but it is awesome. I find it more enjoyable... Read Full Review

It's awesome because it has the best series all together.
In case you don't know MGS is a stealth series whose main character is Solid Snake, a 30 yr. old trained in stealth, combat, and use of firearms. I had barely played any MGS game before but once I noticed how high they... Read Full Review
