The jungle in particular feels alive with rivers, streams, trees, brush and animals.Well, nobut it sure seemed that way when Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was first revealed to gamers.What a departure for Hideo Kojima and the folks at Kojima Productions As it turns out this is actually a genesis story of how a young CIA agent, known as JohnJack, would eventually be known as the greatest soldier of the 20th century Big Boss.In my humble opinion, this is the greatest Metal Gear Solid story (so far) and nearly wipes away the stench that was Sons of Liberty.
For this weeks Metal Gear Solid Retrospective Review its Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD Edition for the PS3. After saving Sokolov and proceeding to the extraction point, Snake is ambushed by members of the Cobra Unit lead by his former monitor The Boss. The Boss betrays Snake, steals back Sokolov and gives two mini nuclear shells including the Davy Crocket delivery system to Colonel Volgin of GRU. Snake is thrown off a bridge into a raging river and witnesses Volgin destroy a nearby nuclear research facility using one of the mini nuclear shells. In its effort to avoid World War 3, the government sends Snake back behind enemy lines to retrieve Sokolov before he can complete the Shagohod, a massive nuclear missile delivery system using rockets, as well as prove Americas innocence by eliminating The Boss. Throughout the campaign, Snake battles the likes of the Cobra Unit as well as our main man Ocelot (a major for GRU working with Volgin). Sure, the Cobra Unit is a fantastical group of paranormal freaks (e.g. The Pain and The Fear) but the basis of the story is rooted in realism with an exceptionally written Cold War espionage plot that hits all the right notes any old James Bond film from the 60s would. But more important is that it hits all the familiar notes a Metal Gear Solid game should as well as adds new wrinkles to the story that keep the story fresh and entertaining. This is most notable in the boss fights as it is much easier to see your opponent relative to your position and determine the best way to engage them more effectively. This mechanic uses a camo index on the top right corner of the screen. The more suitable your clothes and face paint are to blending in to the surroundings, the higher your camo index and the lower the chance of being spotted by the enemy. However, the one down side of this system is navigating several menus each time you want to change your outfit. When snake encounters an enemy in close quarters, he can grab and throw them to the ground or towards enemies as well as sneak up behind them and either knock them out or slit their throat. Also, it is worth noting that this game allows more freedom to engage the enemy head on with a greatly expanded weapons selection ranging from a M63 machine gun, anti-aircraft weapons, and a very powerful shotgun. Snake Eater does a fantastic job in balancing its signature stealth gameplay with the ability to go in guns-a-blazing. Theyre amazing Each one is unique to the specific bosses you encounter and use sound logic and interesting gameplay mechanics to defeat them. ![]() The amount of different ways to defeat this boss are so varied and original that you can play it over and over again and still find new solutions. ![]() It truly pushed the limits of the PS2 back in the day and with the remastered HD edition it looks even better. All the environments including animals, plants and buildings are extremely detailed and everything looks crisp and clear.
