Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004, PS2) Review

Released 3 years after MGS2, Metal Gear Solid 3, this time is set in the 1960s, in a jungle.

I think I died more in this games than MGS2 or MGS1...

Based on demographic studies, the creators decided to give the player the option of playing as Snake or Raiden from MGS2 depending on whether you select the option I liked MGS1 more than MGS2, etc.

You play as Naked Snake, the father of Solid, Liquid, and Solidus Snake, who will go onto become 'Big Boss.'

The game's plot is more straight forward than the previous game this time to appeal more to the masses, and you get to catch your own food in the jungle. Pick a Fly Agaric mushroom and your poisoned! -as are the bosses who eat it also. Was really fun. Graphics were great also- my only complaint was that car tires are 'hexagonal' just like in the last game, and not circular like they should be. The James Bond espionage introductory song is pretty annoying too- I guess the creators thought it may have been funny :/

My rating: 8.9/10
