Metal Gear Solid

THE GOOD:
Great storyline, long enough game (12 Hours), powerful game engine, great looking environments

THE BAD:
Graphics could use some work, but not not the worst out there, clipping/auto-aiming problems, unrealistic end fight - difficult

SUMMARY:
Metal Gear Solid is one Sweet Ass Game... I'd say after Diablo II, it's the most addictive game i've played to date. Although the graphics aren't spectacular, they rank up there with some of the better games out there today. The game was well thought out by Konami & their efforts made a game that deserves to be reproduced as a Movie. The game almost seems like a movie itself with the cinematics throughout the game and the opening cutscenes with the credits that resemble those of movie opening credits.

I played the game briefly using the Keyboard, and I agree with Drew in that this was a very complicated process. I gave up on that one, and started using our Logitech Wingman Extreme Tiltpad/Gamepad and was very pleased with the number of buttons it had. I configured all by buttons on the gamepad and I pretty well used up all 10 buttons.

I believe that Konami really deserves to be applauded for this title. I wished I had seen the game when it came out 2 years ago for the Playstation.

I can't wait for Metal Gear Solid II: Sons of Liberty. If you played the MGS & you've seen the trailer of MGS2, you know what to expect from Konami. Gotta get my hands on a PS2 system... Look out for a preview of MGS2 on Neoseeker sometime down the road.
