When I say mgs3 is one of the best in the series i really mean it. All of the games in the series deserve a 5 star rating.

Metal equals Pure Gold

Pros Cons
Tight controls Lousy camera/viewpoint
Amazing visuals
Engaging story
Epic boss fights

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, players are taken back in time in order to walk a mile in the shoes of the enigmatic Big Boss, Solid Snake's Father. The visuals are arguably one of the most impressive ever seen on the PS2. The controls are brick solid and the story is thrilling and successful. If you have played the other games in the franchise you will be thrilled to have many of your questions answered in the prequel. If you're looking for a game that'll keep your mouth drooling, youre heart racing, and youre eyes glued, your search is over.

This is the one to buy

Pros Cons
Epic boss fights Poor storytelling
Loads of content Unresponsive controls

If you're looking for the ultimate PS2 Metal Gear game, this is it. The new over-the-shoulder camera helps immensely (though you'll still need to revert to the overhead cam at times), and helps shows off the natural beauty of this fine-looking PS2 game. The storyline is a little goofy, but the overall experience (especially the last boss fight) make this a keeper.

The Repeat we all Love

Subsistence the ritual repeat that Kojima does for all metal gear solid games this one though is perhaps his best one. in this egame they take the usual view and give it a little revamp and now make it so that you can actually control the camera and see the world in a ful 360 degree view. its like you can actually see what snake can see. the over all game is the same with the addition of some new camo and the all new movie theather, and lets not forget the new much apreciated if you are a die hard fan, the metal gear x and metal gear solid snake original snes games that have been added. so if you are a metal then this is the game for you especially if you are a rookie to the seris but if you are just a person who has snake eater, then you might want to skip over this one cause you might not apreciate this as much as some would.

One of the greatest Ps2 games of all time

This game was magnificent. Not only did it have an amazing story and some characters you could never forget but it also had some of the best graphics I have ever seen on the Playstation 2. Even if some of the controls were hard to get used to and the mouths kinda moved off balance the story kept you so sucked in you didn't even notice. Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence had to be the best Playstation 2 game of all time. It had a very emotional ending that was (to me) even more emotional then Final Fantasy 7's death of Aeris. It had extra's that kept you busy for awhile and the two old Metal Gear games that Metal Gear fans have longed to get there hands on. The camoflauge and stamina thing made the game a bit tougher. The camera on Subsitence was also a load better then the camera we were used to (which was from a birds eye view).Subsistence's camera did make the boss fight a heck of a lot easier too.
