Metal Gear Solid
(PSX)
1 Player

Once again Solid Snake must battle evil terrorists to stop them from using the Nuclear
 Warhead launching walking battle tank called Metal Gear.  An intense, involving story,
 and fantastic visial effects await ahead.

Graphics 9/10
 While they occasionally seem pixilated when up close, you can't really blame the
 programmers for limitation of the system they were using.  The camera angles are almost
 never wrong, the characters look great and varied, the cutscenes are very nice, and the
 charcter movement looks good.  One thing you could complain about is the lack of mouth
 movement diring the 3D parts (the mouths move during comlick scenes), but once again,
 it's probably more because of system limitations.

Music and Sound 10/10
 This ame has a great soundtrack.  The music always fits the mood and doesn't get old. 
 the sound effects are righ on too.  There are footsteps, different gun shot sounds,
 background sounds, ect.  The voices are very good as well.  all of them sound beleivable
 for each character, which is usually the problem with dubbed voices.

Game Play 9/10
 While the game may seem a little short after playing through a few times, there are two
 endings to find, plus some bonuses after completeing the game that give it more life. 
 Though it doesn't really need that much boost, the game is fun no matter how many times
 you replay it.  The different objectives are also varied enough that they don't get too
 boring.  The bosses all play different and require different strategies.  

Overall 9.7/10
 One more for the top games ever in my list.  This is a fabulous game that I would
 reccomend to anyone who likes action games, or even RPGs, or games at all.  The story is
 complex and full of twists, and very good.  Plus it's failr cheap most places now, so you
 should have no reason not to own this game.

Tip: To beat Psyco mantis the easy way, switch the controller tot he second port at the
 begining of th ebattle so he can't "Read you mind".  It IS possible ot beat him otherwise
 though, I did the first time through, I reccomend just staying low and putching him when
 you can.  If you're lucky you'll get in a hit.
