giving this game an 8.7 is an insult, it deserves more, it is so underrated.
Metal gear solid snake eater is a prequel to the originals. Instead of playing as solid snake, you play as his "father", Big Boss(people mistake him for solid snake, even though that would destroy all logic)
You are sent to a russian forest were you have to survive and infiltrate facilities to find out info. The game is based on the Cold War, but the story has been improvised. The cold war facts are still true though.
The gameplay in metal gear solid is so free. You can be stealthy, be violent and loud, just sneak away, or just mess around.
The AI in this game is probably the best ever in any game. Enemies patrol their own routes, but if they get distracted theyll search, and if they get hurt theyll call for backup. Enemies have such great AI that its fun to mess around with them, such as throwing things at them or punching them if your invisible, then runaway.
The game gives you lots of guns, but you will mostly use the bigger upgrade in the game, CQC. CQC is an upgrade of the original, grab and break neck trick. Now, not only can you break necks, but you can slit throats, interrogate, choke, knock out, slam, or human shield your opponents. Also CQC lets you knock out enemies close to you without having to continuously punch them.
The many ways you can kill enemies is also very vast. You can snipe, fire machine guns, blow them up, stab them, poison them with poison food, make them sleep with poison food, and even use their traps against them(only in one place is that possible though).
The game play is very adaptable. However you wanna play it is your choice it doesnt force you to play a certain way.
The games graphics are just outstanding. The jungle is very lush, the characters are very detailed, the animals are kinda choppy but theyre not the point of the game. The environments such as the swamps and facilities all look very nice. Great graphics are all in this game.
The sound in this game is outstanding. The acting is spectacular, the sounds of the animals are varie, the vehicles and guns are all different sounding. The musical score is fantastic, it ranges from jungle espionage music, to facility techinical like music.
The game has its older version of the Codec, instead you have a radio. You can listen to many calls. The calls can be helpful to your mission, actual information about the coldwar, facts about all the animals and foods and environments.or just funny moments. Theres A lot of these converstations too, and they are fun to listen to.
This game has the qualities of any great game. Great gameplay, great graphics, great story.
Theres is practically nothing bad about this besides the fact that you cant control the camera(but in the new subsistence you can). But the camera isnt really gonna stop anything.
This game is underrated, it deserves a ten.
