hey i dont know if there was a thread made on this game already so if there was feel free to shut this one down..

 

well i just wanted to say that this is without doubt the most awesomely brilliant game in the world i am not really a big games person but i just love playing this game its such a challange and makes you want to keep playing the graphics are just exceptioonal

Got this in this morning, only 45 minutes in (which basically means I've sat throught the intro and killed an alligator). Typical MGS fare thus far, but I have heard it picks up a lot after the first couple of hours. Busy this weekend though, have to wait till next week to get my teeth into it.

I've never played any of the MGS games, any good?

has this been released in the UK now?

has this been released in the UK now?

Out today.

I've never played any of the MGS games, any good?

Definitely, but it they often split opinion. There's drawbacks with the series, but they are all great action romps, with a strong plot.

I loved the second game, it was great, the cutscenes in places could be long but it was done well enough it wasn't boring to me... never did get all the tags though

Too many games out today, have this and Strangers Wrath waiting to be played.

Awoke this morning at 8.30am to be in town for 8.45 to get in HMV at 9.00 when it opened. :) I managed to get the special sleeve copy of Snake Eater. Well chuffed.

 

Regards the game, I've been on it for a few hours now, the cut scenes are really repetative now, somewhat annoying in fact. I've played say three hours, about and hour or so of those three has been cut scenes, possibly more. Don't get me wrong, their amazing scenes but this is a game, not a movie as someone already mentioned.

 

The storyline is real in depth also, as were the other two. That in depth that at times you lose the plot due to the majority of names in the game being Russian. Still, it's a brilliant game none the less.

I'm two hours in, so I've played the first pre credits section before things really get moving (for those who've played MGS2 think the tanker section, but not as much fun). The tactical elements introduced are interesting, operating without radar is a massive challenge and the eating and healing elements are cool. Although you're effectively doing nothing more than eating rations to heal yourself "performing surgery" adds a little element of realism.

I wouldn't judge the game based on these first two hours. There's a lot of story to get through, including one or two hints at elements of MGS2, and some terribly cheesy dialogue and gameplay wise it's effectively just a tutorial. Sons of Liberty definitely had the best beginning of the MGS games, but I'll just have to see what happens later on.

I got the game yesterday not had much chance to play it because i've been real busy but all i can say is that Kojima has a great sense of humour.

 

The first time you see snake, i bet most hardcore MGS players went aaaggggggghhhh!

 

i'm going to go a little more in deph on his today and i'll post my views later.

just got it today and this is an awesome game easily top 5 best ps2 game ever

Much prefer this to SOL, the enviroments are fantastic.

Currently struggling to defeat the fear.

 

Not to keen on the whole surgery thing i hate having to do it during battle when your adrenaline is up.

 

Love that little upstart ocelot, just to think that he turned to revolvers because him his action more suited to it. Hopefully i'll have another battle with him later in the game.

i just got it trying to cross the swamps with all the crocs in it without either getting flattened or drowned :(

Good to see Kojima's kept his pervy nature in check (press R1 when prompted in certain cutscenes to see what I'm talking about).

you mean inside the pod at the beginning of operation snake eater by anychance? btw how do you cross the swamp when you get to it at night time
