Think James Bond, on the PlayStation, no Mission
Impossible, or any sort of film, which has brilliant story and
action, and you've got a great game. Metal Gear Solid is new to the
PlayStation, it combines brilliant action and adventure built around
an even better story, I'm not going to tell you the story, but it
will impress you. The story is excellently plotted, and gives you a
great story, by the end you'll want to be a spy, and play Metal Gear
Solid over and over again. The developers have been around (since
the NES!!) for some time, and have gave use all the ISS Pro series,
and the latest fun game Bishi Bashi Special. But back to Metal Gear,
they haven't skipped on anything, it may seem a bit comic book, e.g.
the game has you fighting enemies with some strange features, some
have a Colt gun, some have psychic powers, and some have a big
chain-gun and barrel full of bullets on their back. Then there's the
big boss at the end...This boss is a man but you'll have a hard time
getting rid of him. As you go through the game there are loads of
baddies to kill, and the story can end in two different ways. You'll
have to meet and work with friends, and some who you thought were
your friends turn out to be the enemy. As for the look of then game
the graphics couldn't be better on the PS, there detailed and
there's rarely any slow down at all. There are some well designed
cinema clips (not FMV) and cinematic shots. Once you get past all
the guards at the start the game starts a short film, showing the
credits, and it burst (with Dual Shock support ) into the logo,
Metal Gear Solid. Its designed to be used with a Dual Shock, other
wise you'll miss out on good bits. Such as Psycho Mantis, controls
your controller (shakes the controller).
Overall its an amazing experience, and very
recommended. If you haven't got it yet, you should. BRILLIANT-10/10
