Video Game Reviews of Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater
Customer Review: The beginning
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah I know, it's called "Metal Gear Solid THREE" but it's actually the first story of the ENTIRE Metal Gear Series - you play as Naked Snake who is actually Big Boss, the father of Liquid, Solid, and Solidus Snake. But he looks JUST like Solid Snake and even has his voice.
Gameplay is very-slightly different with the addition of "Close Quarters Combat" which adds depth into fighting rather than the throwing/punch-punch-kick from the first MGs. There's no radar in this game, which gives it a more realistic feel having the player rely on different uniforms of camo and face paint along with motion detectors and sensors to avoid being caught by guards. There's also a stamina bar which can be replenished by eating animals and plants you take down (the stamina bar is basically energy - calories and as it decreases, Snake will not be as physically "in shape" (harder time moving, difficulty to aim a gun - because he's hungry!). Typical Alert-Evasion modes are still present, but I have to say there are parts in the game where it can be rather difficult to get out of Alert mode, but when that happens I just run the whole way through to get to the next destination. Controls are the same for the most part but you're forced to use the analog stick to run, and grabbing enemies is the O button which is the CQC button. Metal Gear veterans will definitely enjoy this game, I personally like it the best out of the first 3 MGS (can't judge with the 4th yet as I'm still playing it on the PS3). After a week or so I've already beaten it 5 times!
Personally I say don't play it on "Very Easy" because it's amazingly easy and there's almost no challenge with the "EZ Gun." I suggest MGS veterans start playing it on normal mode.
Story-wise, I loved this story better than the previous Metal Gear titles , it's a bit more real-ish (it takes place in 1964 during the Cold War), and has less of that philosophical babble and convoluted dialog from Metal Gear Solid 2, and has a simpler storyline perhaps easier to understand than the first Metal Gear Solid.
Overall, I give this game 5 stars, an A+, 100%, whatever - just to me it's an excellent game, and Metal Gear fans are bound to like this one and I give a "Highly Recommended" to Metal Gear Solid 3.
