[ @-.» Wow. It's a beautiful game, made by the amazin' Hideo Kojima. At first, for me, the game was boring. Lazy camera, and the beginning of the game. I wanted to stop playing. But something told me to continue, and i played. But when the charismatic « The Fear » entered in the first Snake vs The boss fight. The game just touched me. I couldn't stop playing. So, don't stop playing even if it begins, and it is very difficult. You'l get used to it. It's a game to try....

Hideo Kojima is a perfectionist, and this is evident when you play one of his games from the Metal Gear series. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater is a prequel to the Metal Gear series, and has a very thought provoking and excellent story. Well, what's a story without excellent gameplay as well to compliment it? Well, nothing. A movie, maybe? Anyway, the game is a masterpiece, and a very wealthy, tried and true experience to anyone who dares enter the world of Metal Gear. You are still Snake in this game, but you're playing in the past, so you do have access to cool gadgets and weapons, but nothing too high tech. The game has excellent gameplay innovations, and intense stealth action. You have the options of putting enemies to sleep, shocking them, blowing them up, confusing them, using them as human shields, and lot's more, but the most obvious method of stealth is sneaking past them. You'll have to feed on animals that you find in the jungle to survive and have enough stamina to complete the mission. You even have to treat your self from snake bites, gunshot wounds, shocks and more. The audio is fantastic, with great music, and even greater voice acting. The graphics are very well detailed, and are in-game, meaning if you switch your clothes and enter a cut scene, you will see the change in the scene. The bosses are amazing, with their own little back stories, (most of the characters in the game are well fleshed out) and the camouflage concept is one that goes great with this type of gameplay. It is easy for the story to go over your head, due to how complex it is, but both the story, and the game are magnificent.

Even after my fifth time of beating it, it is still extremely enjoyable. I never gets old. So much fun to go around and snipe people a pistol.

MGS3 is a great game, but suffers due to a lack of focus and a cartoony, over-the-top storyline. It still has some great gameplay, but the overhead camera and unusual control scheme make for a steep learning curve -- try to get the Subsistence version, which adds an MGS4- adjustable camera and some other cool features. A great game that you should play before MGS4.

As a long time fan of the metal gear series, I must say that this game was probably the best so far in the series Hands Down. The graphics truly seemed to show the best of the PS2. The story was truly involving, giving much desired closure to the MG series and at the same time opening many new doors and plots to be further explored. The sound was also truly stellar capturing the essence of jungle combat. And of course the gameplay was basic and easy to learn and master. Truly one of if not the best games ever released for any Playstation

Metal Gear Solid 3 is a great achievement, one that fans of the series will love and vividly remember long after most of 2004's other games are forgotten. This is just a perfect again from konami, good work:-)

one of the greatest games i have ever played. also one of the best ending ive ever seen, pretty damn good story

Where to start? The games graphics were very good for its time and the sound was right on and so where the controls. Ability to change your camo, the guns, the scenes have character and well acted. The bosses are a challenge and challenges is what makes this game. Hours and hours of gameplay will keep you playing and begging for more and more! You can tell this game had alot of time spent into it. MUST HAVE FOR PS2 OWNERS! -Jake The Snake

One word: Awesome. Just pure awesomeness. You get to kill everything, either by stabbing-blowing up-shooting-or punching. You get to eat just about everything you kill (except humans and dogs of course) You get to blow shit up, I love operating the anti-aircraft gun, just keep blowing those helicopters out of the sky because they keep coming and coming and coming. The boss', they are so creatively made that it's just a shame they die and never come back. There's easter eggs, and hidden stuff to find. No great game can be complete without a climatic and bad-ass storyline. Sometimes I just feel like blowing the shit out of the enemy with my favorite gun, and I could do that all day- it's just that fun. In this day and age of video gaming we forget what fun is about, some games may be addicting but not fun (World of Warcraft is what I was thinking about when I said that, not saying that that game isn't fun, just saying it's just sheer addictiveness) When you play this game you'll be reminded what fun is, just go and blow shit up, have a blast, stab a crab (crab BATTLE!!!) eat a ghavial (those crocodilians) blow those chopters out of the sky, hold up a soldier gun point and shoot him in the groin and watch him fall over and die in pain, punch in locker doors and push them onto enemies, throw snakes onto enemies (I think you can do that, I'll try it) plant an explosive right next to a girly magazine and blow the guy up while he's looking at scandalous pictures and making weird noises to it (you'll see what I mean when you try it), push guys over ledges over the rails. Well, Just try it.

This game is definitly the best. But MGS$ coming out soon will be more excellent.Snake eater was the best because of the storyline and a game finally based on the snake genes of snakes father BIG BOSS! the game had an awsome combat system, and the cqc system was awsome.Based on the characters they were all great and the ocelot in that game was cool becauseit goes back to when you see him as a younger person, who at the end said he would meet big boss again someday which he did eventually.If Solid snake dies on mgs4 they must continue on with big bosses story into the zanzibar incident! 5.0 for graphics 5.0 for sound 5.0 for control overall i give this game a 15.0
