Metal Gear

The first time I played Metal Gear I was about eight, I couldn't play it so I traded it for another game. Years down the track the urge to play the game again to finish it came up, so I bought it again.

If you like Metal Gear Solid, and you want to know about Solid Snake when he as a rookie, you might like it.

In terms of playability, Metal Gear is superb, while the graphics may not be on par with today's quality it still holds a firm standing as a great game.

The best part is the gameplay which holds its own against the gameplay of newer games.

A great game, buy it, you won't regret it.

You are Solid Snake and you must stop an uprising!

+)One of the first games to be story focused. It may be one of the first to have a twist at the end

+)Controls are very simple

+)Music is memorable

+)Some of the boss fights are fun

+)It is the first game in the Metal Gear series

~A LOT OF "Where do I go next." You WILL need a guide to get through this game ~No map to help you where to go ~Confusing layout ~Enemies are relentless if they spot you, but they will suddenly stop if you leave the screen ~Some of the boss fights are cheap. ~Item Management is horrible. You will have to go to the menu every time you want to use a keycard (There are many key card). You will have to go through all the keycard to see which one opens which door. ~Some poor level layout that will 100% cause damage to you

Overall for Metal Gear fans like myself, I felt obligated to play this game and see where it all started. It is worth the hassle if you can get pass all the frustrating parts. For the people who cannot go back and play an 8bit game, it is better to just read the story. You can read them in Metal Gear Solid(PS1).

This was one of the first really good games I played on the Nintendo. While I found some of the first parts rather challenging, the game is quite enjoyable to play once you get the hang of it. I had a lot of fun playing this game, and it was the first video game my dad played ever, even when I wasn't around (he actually finished the game before I did!). Sometimes I still wish I had it.

My first impressions of the game was that it was quite hard for a 8 year old to play let alone understand. Though I did play it quite often and it became one of my favorite games, but I never fully understood what was going on in the game mostly due to the fact that the NES version was a port. The game was originally released on the MSX. This version of the game was by far superior to the ported NES version. It wasn't till the game was re-released bundled with Metal Gear Solid 3 that I fully was able to enjoy the game. Metal Gear was much like the later ones in this long running series. Jam-packed with story and real world issues as well as running away from foes and hiding under boxes. Good game over all and I would suggest it to anyone who enjoys this series.

9/10

Starring: A spy, a big boss, a coward, a bunch of women, and POW's.

A lengendary spy is captured when he attempts to take down the terrorist's operation of Outer Heaven. A rookie spy is sent in to get back the other spy and take down Outer Heaven.

The game is an excellent Nintendo game. Fun bosses, fun plot, and great ending. Highly recommended.
