There are few games that mark their place in history. This is one of the few exceptions. By todays standards, this game seems a bit old-school, but this is what began the Metal Gear Solid legacy. From the moment you begin this epic game, you are thrust into the position of a genetically enhanced soldier; Solid Snake. Snake was created by genetic science, and is a clone of his forefather, Big Boss. Along with two other clones, Snake must fight to sever the bond between himself and his brothers. This game features a unique system, adequately designed to suit the genre of the game. When controlling Snake, the player must avoid confontation with guards spotted around each area by hiding up against walls, crouching, travelling through ventilation shafts and the like. If the guards spot you, an alarm is sounded, and more guards enter the area. Snake can aquire a large variety of weapons to keep himself safe from harm. The music, for it's time, is very well pieced together. It creates a sense of tension, adding to the atmosphere of the game. Although it can get a little repetitive at times, you'll find it grows on you and helps you enjoy the many other aspects of the game. Could this game get any better, you ask? Well yes, it can. Once the game has been completed, there are plenty of unlockables to... unlock. Metal Gear Solid is an instant classic. This game brings to life what has never before seen in a video game. If you're looking for a classic Playstation game, this is the one to buy. A masterpiece. Pure masterpiece.
