Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Official Strategy Guide Reviews
I purchased the Essential Collection, and, I must say, it is also excellent. The boss strategy is also excellent, along with the food listing, and it completely explains how to cure every wound or sickness. This guide has a detailed walkthrough, bonus section, items and weapons listing. I highly recommend it.
Picture illistration are small and not very clear. maps are a bit confusing. the control pictures in the illistations are also hard to see.
or what happens if you kill all the toy frogs. Sorry but this guide is good for the getting through the storyline-After that its nearly useless. The book doesn't tell you all the secrets.
The real reason to buy a guide, however, is the walkthrough of the game. Bradygames brings us this strategy guide for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the Playstation 2. This is helpful, but not nearly as much as it was in the guide for Metal Gear Solid 2. The text is clear in where you are, where you are going, and what you have to face. It isn't terribly important, but it does add a little extra flavor. There is also a walkthrough of the Snake Vs Monkey mini-game (which I didn't bother playing).
What the map truly helped with was to give a general idea of where the enemies are, how many, and a general idea of where the items are. The guide begins by covering all of the items, weapons, camouflage, and different fighting techniques. Without this guide I would have missed many items (I have no doubt about that), been spotted by guards more often than I was (which was often), been killed many more times than I was (very few times), and spent quite a bit more time than the 24 hours that it took me to conquer the game. I just used whatever basic moves that I could remember and worked my way through the game and took whatever came my way. This is a fairly large paperback edition and is filled with details about the game and color screenshots from the game. The first thing to note is that this guide is packed with information. The guide is probably not essential to get the player through this game, but I have to say that it helps a lot.
While the maps would be the same on "Easy" or "Hard", the number of enemies and their locations would change on the more challenging difficulties. The text walkthrough (with some screenshots) is where the true value of this guide is. Since I played through the game on "Normal" mode, I can speak for how helpful it was for that difficulty. While this guide could have been more clear and helpful with maps and enemy locations, it was invaluable in getting me through this game. So, while the guards may walk a particular pattern it was difficult to determine just where you are on the map. There is also a section which covers little "Easter Eggs", like hidden posters and figurines which reference previous Metal Gear games. This is very nice, but I didn't find myself flipping back to check out the techniques or items.
-Joe Sherry Everything is listed at the start of the guide. The problem here is simply that instead of being inside a building the entire game, the player is mostly outside in a forest or swamp.
Before every section of the game, this guide includes a map of the area and small diagrams of where the enemies are and what sort of patrol pattern that they walk. The boss strategies are also quite helpful and helped me to beat them (as well as helped me defeat a couple of bosses with only the tranquilizer dart). The location of certain items may also change, but this guide does not cover any other difficulty but "Normal". I've been playing video games for at least fifteen years, but Metal Gear Solid 3 is a challenging game without a walkthrough.
The most important thing to note about this guide is that it only covers the walkthrough of the game on the "Normal" difficulty setting.
You'd be surprised how many hardcore MGS fans just jump to Hard Mode without ever touching the lower difficulty levels. They don't mention that you can get the EZ Gun on other difficulty levels nor do they mention anything of the infinity face paint. It really is a good guide, almost perfect. From the basics to the advanced tactics. Each portion of the walkthrough is broken down by area rather than objective. Then there's the biggy (and the reason five stars was an impossible feet), there are several easter eggs and secrets missing. Either way though, this is the perfect MGS3 companion.
There are areas where there are more guards and such and the guide doesn't talk about that. The guide details on all the basics of CQC. This is an incredible comic. All the ranks are listed but how do I get say. But the guide isn't without a few faults. They also tell you how it taste and whether its worth eating or not. The walkthrough is actually done really well with great tactics.
Everything you need in the opening pages to know about the game is there. For one, the walkthrough is only written for Normal mode. But there are some troubling things that keep this guide down a little. But go through it without some help and you're bound to miss something. Monkeys is also done really well.
The cure section tells you all you need to cure wounds and how to do it. The food section tells you if you can use it on enemies or not and how. Alongside that, the Snake vs. This is great in the sense that it's more organized.
I wish it was a bit more detailed on some of the secrets and gave more insight for the different difficulty levels. This guide is almost perfect in everyway possible. The guide also spends a lot of time detailing everything about the food. The guide doesn't detail it. They go into detail on some of the better ones and talk about the bonuses and such. It's very well written too, with EXCELLENT boss strategies that help out really well. You shouldn't have any trouble getting through the game without it.
It may actually make you want to by the series. First of all, this tome is jampacked with tons of helpful tips. But they still don't detail what the frequency is or what it does. Each section has a detailed set of maps, the location of every guard and the location of every item. The guide also mentions that there are "secret" frequencies to call but they never tell you what the frequency is. But the small tidbits (and the one rather large rat) are annoying at times.
It'll help you conquer the game and even master it at some point. The Easter Eggs and secrets are really cool. The secrets chapter is also done well. The interviews are spectacular and help you learn more than anything about the production of the game and the MGS series. They mention that you have to interrogate a guard in order to get it. Each strategy to take on the monkeys helps you get excellent times and even first place assuming you take them in the recommended orders.
the "FOX" ranking. But be warned that this guide is only good for its walkthrough and not much else. You'll be a master of CQC. Then there's the stuff after the meat of the game. After that there's an excerpt from the Konami Comic Book of Metal Gear Solid.
Metal Gear Solid 3 is an incredible game no matter how you play it. This is easily one of the most well written walkthroughs I've ever read. The walkthrough is very well written. What's the difference between playing the game on Normal and Extreme.
Not only that but they never mention how it is you're supposed to come across certain ranks.
