Metal Gear Solid
Description (IGDB)
Metal Gear Solid is a stealth game created by Hideo Kojima which follows the MSX2 video games Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Despite a transition to 3D, Metal Gear Solid's gameplay remains similar to his predecessors. The game utilizes a traditional top-down view and the player must navigate the protagonist Solid Snake through the game's areas without being detected. Detection will set off an alarm which draws armed enemies to his location. Conversations with Snake's allies and cutscenes are used extensively to advance the plot and gain more insight into it. Metal Gear Solid is regarded as one of the greatest and most important video games of all time, and helped popularize the stealth genre and in-engine cinematic cutscenes.
Histoire (IGDB)
Metal Gear Solid takes place in an alternate history in which the Cold War continued into the 1990s, ending at some point near the end of the 20th century. Coming out of retirement, special agent Solid Snake is called back into the line of duty to take on rogue members of Foxhound, a crack government anti-terrorist squad threatening to launch nuclear-weapons on the White House unless they receive their $1 billion ransom. With only 24 hours to sabotage Foxhound's threat, Snake must infiltrate enemy lines, rescue the two hostages and thwart the terrorists' plans. The demons of his past will challenge him and his will as a soldier shall be tested, as Snake fights to save the world from nuclear devastation.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A cinematic classic. [Feb 2003, p.97] »
« It is literally full of those 'classic' moments that are all too rare these days. Whether it's the first time your footprints are discovered, the first time you perform a stealth kill, finding out the identity of the 'Ninja', solving the method of defeating Psycho Mantis, obtaining the camera and seeking out your first 'ghost'... there are so many classic memories. »
« This game is full of surprises and you never know what is going to happen, and that is a very good thing. »
« Gripping. You will not be able to make your way through this unrelenting adventure without feeling your stomach flip and churn into knots. »
« Adding to the story is some of the best voice acting to ever come to a videogame. The entire cast did an absolutely top-notch performance. »
« The rarest of things: a video game with looks, brains, and heart. »
« We may be looking at the greatest game of the decade here. »
« With the sequel out on PS2, you don't want to fall behind, do you? [Mar 2002, p.34] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« great gameplay, great story. probably the best stealth in playstation 1. difficult at first but you will manage to understand the gameplay over time »
« A chore to play today but still a very interesting look at gaming at the time. There are some oddities that make it stand out as a very distinct gaming experience, crouching with the mine detector to collect enemy mines through snow is a positive one! having to take hardcore benzos to be able to aim a sniper is not one of them. (the sniper wolf boss fight is one of the worst in gaming) To me the story of metal gear has yet to live up to it's universal almost religious praise, the writing is **** corny and stupid with the occasional good twist. No, this is not some of the best videogame storytelling, what crack are you smoking. Otakon at one point verbatim says "My name is otakon..... its kind of like otaku". Snake is a bumbling idiot going from point a to b with little introspection or thought. We meet characters, get told they are important and then they die an hour later. The Rex boss-fight was genuinely really fun and i strangely found the last third of the game the most enjoyable. »
« Juegazo. Dirección y enfoque en la historia nunca antes vistos en esa época. El gameplay de sigilo está muy bien hecho. Buen diseño de nivel. Tecnicamente en la vanguardia. Se me queda un poco corto en cuanto a profundidad »
« i played it for the first time after almost 30 years since its release and i have spent 18 hours in it. 18 hours of enjoyment and spectacular gaming experience, metal gear solid is one of the greatest games of all time for sure »
« This game is old as hell but the gameplay mechanics is damn too good and sometimes the humour is damn to good as this game was made my hideo kojima. »
« A great game from start to finish, an amazing story the whole time and the gameplay has aged like a fine wine »
« The last time I played it was about 26 years ago on the original PlayStation. Since then, the game has lost some of its magic, but it’s still very good. »
« Is it literally flawless? No. Is it an untouchable masterpiece that will go down in history as one of the greatest games ever? Yes, yes it is. »
