From the Manufacturer
Since its inception, the Metal Gear franchise has been one of the most successful game series on any console receiving worldwide recognition and praise. The franchise that pioneered the stealth action genre is back with Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection includes three classic Metal Gear games:

Metal Gear Solid

  • Lightly armed and facing an army of foes, Snake must avoid firefights in order to survive.
  • If Snake is discovered, he can utilize advanced weaponry, ranging from silenced pistols to ground-to-air missiles.
  • Enemies react to sight and sound.
  • State-of-the-art graphics: Textures, transparencies, models and explosions.
  • Suspenseful, gripping story with multiple endings for a truly cinematic experience.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
  • 350+ VR missions and 150+ alternative missions.
  • Play through 5 "Snake Tales" levels involving Solid Snake.
  • Skateboarding mode lets you explore the Big Shell as Raiden or Snake.
  • Utilize stealth and infiltration methods, such as diving somersaults, hanging from ledges and using disguises.
  • Fully interactive environments- bullets pierce steam pipes, smoke reveals laser beams and wet shoes leave footprints.
  • Powerful musical score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Armageddon, The Rock)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
  • Relive history as the cold war and geo-political landscape change.
  • Outsmart enemies with camouflage, close-quarters combat, stalking, interrogating, climbing, hunting and treating injuries.
  • Pit yourself against an environment where traps catch enemies and prey, threats lurk in the shadows, and noise alert predators.
  • Epic musical score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Armageddon, The Rock) and immersive Dolby Prologic II surround sound.

3 out of 5 stars Missing a couple of pieces...   May 9, 2008
I bought this because I had never played Metal Gear Solid 3, and while I enjoyed that game immensely, I was disappointed that none of the extra features (minigames, etc.) that were present with the original game are included. The game disc included in the collection (for MGS 3 at least) is actually the first disc of the special edition version, while the bonus stuff was all on the second disc. This product is only for people who want the games only and don't want any bonus content.


4 out of 5 stars Great way to catch up   May 7, 2008
The only draw back from this collection is that the original Metal Gear Solid is on old PS1 cds instead of dvds. This really doesn't make a difference at all, but it was something I was hoping for. Also there really isn't any bonus material for purchasing this set which also keeps it from getting 5 stars. It would have been nice to throw in the originals or something, but I'm sure there is some kind of copyright infringements there. Still a great buy if you want to get caught up for MSG4.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing   May 3, 2008
This package is a great value if you don't have the metal gear solid games yet.


5 out of 5 stars Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection   April 28, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Nice, I like   April 28, 2008
After looking for the original MGS, it was quite nice to find this set here. The first 3 MGS games for $30 is a great deal in my opinion.
