Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater review:4 stars (Hideo Kojima does it again) - This Japenese game which hit the scene as one of the early must have playstation has come along way through the ages. Purchasing metal gear solid as my first playstaion game was a wise move though with my parents buyin me more i jus wanted metal gear solid to be completed.

Now into 2005 when i purchased this game with tight graphics a well kept storyline and some real characters along the journey kept me like i was a child wanting more. However as i am 13 and could hold a control properly unlike my early age i found this game slightly easy. Completed this game in a week was sad for me and i wished i hadn't played it non stop.

Now onto the game. With its jungle atmosphere it brought a whole knew element into the metal gear solid series. Having to eat to survive and having to camoflauge to survive being shot it brought a different feel to the game. The story which some of my mates found CONFUZZLING!! was in fact quite simple. You were snake and u had to avoid Dying and do whatever you were told over the walkie talkie. The boss had failed her task and was forced to give her life for her country. However the real mind blower of the storyline was that of EVA and what everyone is waiting to see is if this storyline will be continued throughout the next game and u surely hope so. Another blower was knowing that ocelot would not die because of his apperence in metal gear solid 2.

All in all this was a very anticapeted game and it lived up to the standards the two before have set and snake still is without a doubt the coolest non-superhero ever!!

Kyle.4 stars (The Camera ruins the experience...and some other things.) - I am never this picky about my games. If its fun, I like it. I don't usually worry about details like camera angles. But in this case, the camera ruined parts of the game for me.

Before I make a list of complaints, let me first praise the game on its finer qualities. I have never before played a game in which I got so involved. I would obsess over stealth. In some instances when I was playing cat and mouse with enemy guards hidden in the woods, I would sit for ten or fifteen minutes try to find them. I found great joy sneaking up on unsuspecting victims and interrogating them or slitting their throat on a whim. I would watch with horrified fascination I shot a guards flamethrower and see him explode into a firey ball. And, best of all, I would blend seamlessly into my surroundings and dissappear.

Dispite all this, the camera angles were god-awful. Too many times I would realize the guard I was stalking was RIGHT in front of me because I couldn't see where he was. I really cannot discribe how bad it was.

Another thing that irked me slightly was the ability for your character to heal himself. Its a cool concept, but it took away from the game. You can perform surgery on yourself right in the middle of battle. And the thing that I hated the most was the number of times you got shot didn't match the number of bullets in you.

The most dissappointing thing in the game was the bosses. I HATED THE BOSSES. This game would have been SOOOO much better without them. They were too comic-bookish. The game faces you off against a angry hornet throwing guy, an invisible guy, a guy in a wheelchair, a guy who sends ghosts to get you, and an astronaut(?) with a jet pack and flamethrower. I hated the bosses.

All in all, the game is great...If you can deal with bad camera angles and stupid adversaries. It's a great buy.5 stars (Best Stealth game on the market.) - Don't even try to play MGS copycats like splinter cell. This game is the real deal! Great graphics, gameplay, story, characters, everything. Buy this game now!
