Game archives version of the original metal gear solid

Game Informer gave it a 7. If you're not that kind of Metal Gear fan, then you don't need to waste another thought on this release. It's not an complete disaster like Silent Hill: HD Collection , but while it certainly succeeds from a technical standpoint, one can't help but focus on what missing—instead of what's actually there.

Furthermore, having shortcuts to the survival viewer, radio, inventory, and camouflage menus present on the system's second screen allows players to spend less time perusing menus, as was the case in all other releases of MGS3.

But the game isn't particularly pretty to look at. Its character models are a step up from the PS2 versions', but the framerate is anything but stable. The only thing consistent about it is how choppy it is. Additionally, neither the Nintendo 3DS' cramped layout nor the limited number of buttons pair all that well with a game as mechanically complex as MGS3. Still, the gameplay improvements and portability of this version make it one worth playing, provided players can look past its very noticeable flaws.

It improves upon the original game and features the most content of any version of MGS3. However, checking this version out is easier said than done; one must have a functioning copy of the game, as well as a PS2 in working condition. Lacking either of these will likely cost potential players a pretty penny should they wish to pick these items up through resellers, who are notorious for charging premium prices for retro video games. So Subsistence is the best version, but it's probably not the most cost-effective way to play MGS3, especially if one isn't planning on using a PS2 for any other titles.

As for the 3D version, if anyone has a 3DS laying around, this odd port of the game is certainly worth a playthrough, but folks shouldn't go out of their way to hunt down Nintendo's discontinued and price-gouged handheld solely for this reason.

The Metal Gear games are practically love letters to western films, and many Hollywood names helped shape the series' two central characters.
