As soon as Ocelot attempts to shoot Snake an invisible man cuts his arm off and sets Baker free. Both Snake and Ocelot put up a good fight but none of them win. This is when one of the members of the terrorists, Revolver Ocelot, makes his appearance and challenges Snake to a draw duel. The DARPA Chief suddenly dies from what appears to be a heart attack.Īfter the death of the DARPA Chief Snake continues his path to to rescue the president of Armstech Keneth Baker, but when he finds him, he’s tied up and surrounded by a wire trap connected to C4 bombs, preventing Snake from getting close to him. The DARPA Chief reveals to Snake that the facility was a cover-up for the construction of a new weapon, a nuclear equipped bipedal walking tank: Metal Gear Rex. Snake then manages to infiltrate the facility and locate the DARPA Chief, who’s transmitter shows up in Snake’s radar screen (does it sound familiar? yes the same thing happens in Metal Gear 2). On his way to infiltrate the facility Snake receives a call from an old friend of him, Master Miller, who apparently moved on to Alaska for some peace and quiet but decided to give Snake support via radio. In the cast of supporting characters are composed of Roy Campbell, who is once again commanding Snake, even though he’s retired, Naomi Hunter, the main medical staff, who gives Snake some medical advices, Mei Ling, who is in charge of saving your progress and other technical stuff, and Nastasha Romanenko, who is a weapon’s expert and heavy smoker. Snake’s mission is to rescue the President of Armstech Keneth Baker and the DARPA Chief Donald Anderson, as well as Campbell’s nice who got caught up in the whole mess. The facility was taken by a group of terrorist formed by the Next Generation Special Forces Foxhound. The facility is located in Shadow Moses, in the Fox archipelago off the coast of Alaska. The game starts with Solid Snake, infiltrating a nuclear disposal facility by underwater means. Leaving all this aside, let’s talk about the most important aspect of the game: the story, and once again, f-ing spoilers for a 15 years old videogame. One thing this game is criticized for is the lack of any actual replay value, there’s only 3 unlockable items and there’s little to no extras aside from the already mentioned VR Missions. SPOILER When you complete 80% of the game you get to play 3 really nice levels with the Ninja. Metal Gear Solid VR Missions is a standalone game consisting of hundreds of VR Missions that put you in different situations (some of them really absurd and funny) with the main goal of training you for the actual game. The game came packed with a demo of Metal Gear Solid VR Missions, including a about 30-40 Missions from the game: Sneaking, Time Attack, Survival, etc. Graphics-wise, not many PS1 games can be compared with the quality this game offers, but it’s interesting to note that no character in the game has actual noticeable eyes, they rather have a shadow where the eyes should be, this is due to eyes looking too cartoony in the PS1, and that would not fit with the game’s nature. Just like in MG2, we can hide in the box inside trucks to be taken between different areas quickly. The cardboard box made a return, but this time there’s three different versions. The game is completely compatible with the analog stick, making it much easier to play than with the digital pad. But now we can do combos when punching, we can aim our gun before actually firing it, we can fire and run at the same time, and we can go into first person view, although we can only use it to look around. When it comes to controls, we still have the same ones available to us in Metal Gear 2 but improved: we have crawling, punching and firing. Compared to other action games, MGS doesn’t really enforces nor encourages face to face action, but when it does, it does it just as good as a full-time action game.

Metal Gear Solid takes everything that Metal Gear 2 did and improved on it.Ĭompared with other stealth games of the time, MGS was more fast-paced and allowed for more action elements. Metal Gear Solid was originally planned to be released on the 3DO and named Metal Gear 3, but when it got delayed and the 3DO became less popular, Konami decided to make the game for Sony’s PS1, the leading console of the time, and renamed the game to Metal Gear Solid.
