Among these great archetypes are the ever aging 'The END," who can snipe a coin out of your hand from several hundred yards away, and 'The Boss," Snake's former mentor. Throughout the game, players are introduced to new iterations of Cold War super villains. Seeing Naked Snake in his glory days is bittersweet, but getting the back story of this doomed character is sensational. "Snake Eater" really shines in its character development. If there is no emotional tie to the characters, there is no point in playing the game. It's beautifully told, put together like a magnificent symphony, with every note perfectly in tune.Ī game is only as good as the characters that populate it. Luckily, the "Snake Eater" story grabs hold of the player immediately and doesn't let go. Origin stories can either succeed if done right, or flounder under the weight of their own narcissism (ahem, "Wolverine: X-Men Origins").

Fans of the series will know that Snake eventually becomes Big Boss, the main protagonist in future MGS games, as well as the genetic father of future Hero Solid Snake.
The main character is an experienced CIA operative known as Naked Snake. Although it does have its flaws, (including a frustrating control scheme) "Snake Eater" is a successful new version of a great game.Īlthough the third title in the series (fourth, if you include the original "Metal Gear" for NES), the game is a prequel, taking place during the Cold War. Repackaged as "Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D" for the Nintendo 3DS, the game maintains everything that makes the source material great, and even ups the ante. It beats out even the latest entries on the PS3.
The game, originally released on the Sony PS2 (and a revamped version a year later), is arguably the best of the series. When it comes down to perfect, one doesn't have to look further then the third entry in the series, "Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater." Some would call Hideo Kojima's work sheer masterpieces - and they'd be right. The " Metal Gear" Saga is one of the most engrossing, character- driven video game franchises to date.
