Wow this is one hell of a game which I have come to love and cherish
This storyline is quite confusing but goes as follows; You are Solid Snake, Retired spy who used to work at FOXHOUND. He is called back into business when FOXHOUND have revolted are threatening to use nuclear weapons to destroy countries. Without spoiling it for you, the story twists and turns with weird and amazing boss battles.
The cut scenes. Some critics say that the cut scenes are boring and take just as long as the game. What they are trying to say is their stupid and don’t understand it. Also, as I am a movie buff, I love these cut scenes and make the game immersive.
It is probably the most innovative game of all time too because Metal Gear practically invented stealth-em-ups and I love a change from the Halos and the Half-life’s which sometimes gets repetitive. The graphics can’t be ignored either because it signalled the maximum graphics potential of the playstation 1 and it almost looked like N64 graphics. The sound was amazing and during the cut scenes it felt really cinematic. The game wont take you long to complete but I find it’s a game which can be played over and over again. There are also reasons to play again because if you survive the torture and save Meryl, You get a bandana which gives you infinite ammo at the end. However if you give in and Meryl dies, you get the stealth suit off Otacon so it’s good to play again.
I find this game probably the most innovative and enjoyable game of all time bar Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye
