Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection Reviews
Metal Gear Solid is a great game, and the 3 pack is a great price. However, the first metal gear is for PS1. Therefore, if you have a PS2 you will have to buy a memory card for PS1 in order to save the game. And Sony no longer makes them.
These games are great, I know because I have played them all many times before. Only problem is I am waiting for a NSTC Playstation because we have PAL is australia. Postage was extremely fast too!
The other reviews cover the major points of how the games have a most inventive control scheme, with the second and third games including both third and first person viewpoints. Since I owned Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3, I always wanted the rest of the saga so far. I'm happy to say that even though the first game is more than ten years old, the gameplay was varied and fun, and the storyline was thrilling, with the other two games improving in gameplay and graphics. The third game, Substance, is lacking the second disc, but all that disc included was an online portion of the game that can no longer be played, and a secret theater full of funny parodies. That secret theater can be viewed via youtube quite easily, so don't fret. I was happy to find out that all three games work great on any backward compatible PS3. If you have a PS3 and plan on or already have played MGS4, then you need this collection. Or if you're planning on getting Metal Gear Solid Rising on PS3 or Xbox 360, and happen to have a PS2 or backward compatible PS3, you'll definately want this. IT IS ESSENTIAL!
This game was very good. If you want to pay the 1st mgs games this is great, it also has a lot of extras. It came very fast, faster than they said it would. It was in the condition they said it was, new. I would order from them again.
The first three Medal Gear Solid game are still a blast to play. The learning curve is not to steep.
