Sony Playstation -
Mini review

 
 

Metal Gear Solid was released on the Playstation in February 1999, and like Gran Turismo, was one of them games to appear on the Playstation, which changed the way all games were made, and looked at, forever. The game is based around the main character named Solid Snake, who you control, and your aim is to enter a high security enemy base, with the aid of just a few weapons and items...

The game is not about running around shooting everything on screen, you have to actually plan your moves, and sneak around...making sure the enemies don't see you. The name of the game is stealth and it's what makes this game what it is. There are a wide range of weapons later on in the game, and some truly unforgettable moments, and stunning cut scenes. The visuals are stunning from start to finish, the sound is movie like, the dual shock is used to great effect and the whole thing is nicely brought together to form not only one of the best games on Playstation, but a total classic. The game doesn't last long, a few hours should be enough to see the end credits, of which there are two endings, yet they always say...all good things come in small packages!

Kevin Preston

Score: 9/10
