DESCRIPTION

Hitting store shelves in a springtime when hundreds of thousands of Hideo Kojima fans were anxiously awaiting the projected summer release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 3, this PlayStation 2 compilation is presented as an opportunity to catch up on back story, as well as to play (or re-play) through three of the earlier PlayStation consoles' most highly acclaimed stealth games. Included are a PlayStation 2 port of the original PlayStation version of Metal Gear Solid — the game that some say defined the stealth genre — and the "Directors Cut" editions of its two PS2 sequels, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. ~ T.J.

Replaying most MGS games -- which order? by: NetCrash
