Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid 3 is like a movie.. a movie.. with very very long cutscenes. Normally this would be HORRIBLE, but Hideo Kojima's direction is enough to make the cutscenes seem cinematic enough for Hollywood.

The game itself, well, the graphics are excellent, the music and voice acting is great, the cinematics are well-directed, the boss battles are amazing and the game is FUN. There is so much replay value in this that I've played through it 3 times already and I'm still amazed with it.

Let's just hope MGS4 is even better.

Snake? Snake! SNAAAAAAKE!!!

The game itself is like watching a James Bond movie...

This game has it all. Hideo Kojima has once again impressed me and as well as the other millions of people who have played his Metal Gear games. It has turned into a complete franchise. This is probably the best Metal Gear Solid game I've ever played, although I was a little disappointed about the camera overhead view, but I can understand why it was used as a specific perspective for this particular game.

Hideo is a pure genius when it comes to "Tactical Espionage Action". "Snake Eater" has the most Cinematic cut-scenes, challenging gameplay, unique storytelling, unbelievable plot twists, and as always little Easter eggs scattered around this game that you can't even describe. Simply, this game just boggles the mind. There is so much you can do. You can basically do anything in MGS 3 SE has to offer such as eating, taking good care of yourself, its just endless, From this day, I am still playing it, and from what I've played so far I can't get my hands off of it.

Btw, there is a bunch of classic moments, so much 1960's related reference, and also some James Bond movie creation reminiscent to this game it's just INSANE!!! I'm wondering why Hideo hasn't directed a Metal Gear Solid movie himself. =) Wait what am I saying? This is a movie itself! More like an interactive movie with flawless execution! =D My final words to this game is just simply a "masterpiece of a work of art."

Hideo Kojima is possibly the most famous video game director currently living, and for good reason: his Metal Gear franchise has set a high-watermark for video game storytelling. He accomplished this with Metal Gear in 1987, and as recently as 2015's Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain his directorial skills STILL hold up wonderfully.

Kojima doesn't direct his games JUST like games: he treats them like movies that he loves and wants to give his all to every aspect of the project. Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the highlights of the Metal Gear series, not only because its prequel-oriented storytelling delivers surprises that doesn't make it feel like obligatory canon like George Lucas' Star Wars prequels, but also because the game is a period piece gaming hasn't done in such a way since its release. The 1960s Soviet Union in this game shows the wild aspects of the Union; but you still get the nuclear-influenced machinations going on behind the scenes: a genius move for the game serving the Cold War setting and the overall Metal Gear story.

Hideo Kojima has been hailed over the years for his wonderful directing gifts perfectly fitting his games, and Metal Gear Solid 3 once again drove the point home, and has continued to showcase the man's superpowers as a man defying the rest of fellow game-makers in the medium.

There is no debating that this is one of the greatest games ever made. In my opinion, it is the best of the best. I've lost count of how many times I've beaten it. Every time I play it, I discover something new about the game play or story. It is one of those games that you can never really get tired of.

Everything about this game is incredible. The graphics, game play and enemy AI have been improved since Metal Gear Solid 2. The plot, however, is still similar to the rest of the series. From the beginning, you really feel emotionally connected with the main characters. As you play along, you fight several bosses, all of them very memorable (especially The End and The Boss). The plot goes at a perfect pace and is very compelling. I won't spoil the ending, but it has one of the most unexpected twists I've ever seen in any form of entertainment. There are twists and turns all the way through, even AFTER the credits.

The game's musical score really makes the cut scenes more emotional and the game play more enjoyable. The soundtrack is definitely something you won't want to miss.

All in all, THIS GAME ROCKS!! 10/10 If you haven't played it, or any other games in the series, you are truly missing out.

MG 1 and 2 were good, mgs was great, mgs 2 was also good, but this game is truly the best one in the series... I really love the style it's presented in, even the endless cut-scenes that the mgs games are know for, are interesting all the time... I REALLY enjoyed playing through it, the new cameo system is also great, it makes it more tactical and stealthy...

the only little thing I think wasn't all that good was the healing wounds, I mean it's great at first, but going into the menu to heal yourself 10-20 times during a boss fight is quite boring and repetitive but everything else about it is just great, the story is exceptional and Naked Snake is a great character.

I truly recommend it!
