*GAME* Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

"Codename: Raiden...wait what?!"

Summary:

Metal Gear Solid 2. Delivers the most jaw-dropping. Most confusing story, ever to be told within the Metal Gear Solid Saga, plus introducing a new playable character. While also under the guise that you play as Solid Snake. 

Gameplay:

The biggest complaint in the previous Metal Gear game was it's lack of an "iron sights" a lot of the fighting, shooting, etc. Was done in this overhead mode. Now in MGS 2. You can actually look down the sight of your weapon. Although it is not improved as we would like it. It is still good enough for us. The only downside is that there seems to be some backtracking in some parts of the game.

Story:
The story is really in-depth. Control, censorship, etc. This story has some really good MGS lore development. Plus explains how the MGS world works. I won't say anything else. The story is amazing and you should enjoy it yourself.

Score: 8/10

*GAME* Metal Gear Solid: Handheld Edition Review!

NOTE: For this review. I will be discussing. Both Portable Ops and Peace Walker. 

Summary:
Follow the journey of former FOX agent. Big Boss as his story isn't over yet!

Gameplay:
Both games introduce a new system that would later on be seen in MGS V. You can control and manage any recurit you find in both games. Sadly there is no really 'stealth' here. Just look at your corners and simply pray. Make sure you fully upgrade your weapons and keep yourself at a calm pacing. Because at most times both games can be frusrating.

A downside to this game is that its boss battles. Tries to be MGS. But well it's not only just on handheld but its really lacklustering. I won't spoil things but it can't be help that more time and effort should've been done.

Story:
These two games. Plus MGS V. bridges the gap and shows the rise of Outer Heaven. The only downside is that the cutscenes are presented in this 'comic book style' I like it for a handheld game. But for a HD edition on a console? Yeah...good luck lol. It still looks good but it could've been handled more properly.

Like before. I won't spoil the plot in Ops and Walker.

P. Ops: 7/10
Peacewalker: 9/10

*GAME* Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

"I'm no hero"

Summary:
The year is 2014. The world is stuck in this never ending cycle of warfare. As war itself becomes an economy. the "War Economy" all the while, Liquid Snake (Who is Revolver Ocelot. Who is now Liquid Ocelot) attempts to hijack the Patriots SOP system and thus breaking the cycle once and for all. However, it is up to Solid Snake (Old Snake) to stop Liquid's plans once and for all and save mankind on the brink of destruction.

Gameplay:
In terms of gameplay. It's kind of a mixed bag (For me anyways).  It combines stealth, with a ton of guns, like a whole mall basically. There is stealth elements, although your not going to be really using it all that much. Just aim down the sight and take your enemies out...and of course hide the bodies. The boss battles are very unique homage to previous MGS games before 4.

Story:
You are an aged Solid Snake. The world needs you once again. This is by far the biggest emotional roller coaster ride you will ever experience. I won't spoil the details. But the main thing is, be aware this game does have a lot of cut scenes. Basically to wrap up the plot and explain the plot.

NOTE: There was an online portion of this game. But it's dead now. So I won't be reviewing that part.

In the end, MGS 4. Is the best send off to a character that we have grown accustom to. And we will definitely miss you. Solid Snake. Despite the long cutscenes, in an already huge game. The game in the end leaves fans satisfy by the overall product.

Score: 10/10 

*GAME* Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

"Not for honor. But for you!"

Summary:
Metal Gear Solid 3. Is by far, bar none. The best Metal Gear Solid game. It both balances gameplay and story, like it was a dance. Journey back to 1964. And play as Naked Snake, a FOX agent ordered to kill his mentor The Boss. And preventing the world from getting blown to Hell.

Gameplay:
In previous MGS games. Everything was modern. Now? 1964? Everything has gone backwards. There's no radar. No ration, no cyborg ninja. None of this stuff existed (at least not yet). This game is probably the most realistic MGS game to date. As it not only is a huge parody of James Bond. But it feels so 'real' that it taken place. In our plain of reality. The same mechanics that made MGS 2 popular has return. And this time the game offers three new things:

1. Camo Index
2. Stamina system
3. On site medical treatment

With the Camo index. You can blend in with your environment, depending upon what environment, your chances of being spot may either rise up or down. Stamina system, helps you a lot in this game, in terms of moving around, CQC, aiming. If you don't keep yourself fed. You are going to really, be at a disadvantage. Plus the game has this interesting 'healing' system. You patch yourself up, and maintain yourself. If you don't it will come and bite you back in the butt.

While the boss battles were 'almost' realistic, they still pull of that OMG Metal Gear Solid factor.

Story:
This game is such a big James Bond parody. But with a MGS twist. This game heavily focuses on ideology. To which this same ideology will be applied later on to the rest of the MGS series. Instead of Solid Snake, you are actually a 'green' Big Boss. Before his downfall. This is the beginning of his story arc in the biggest video game franchise ever. I won't spoil the rest. It's safe to say. Play it.

Score: 10/10

MGS V: Chapter 3 (Peace) - Prologue-

*1964*

Two figures, standing in a field of flowers. One wearing a white outfit, while the other in a military style outfit. This was the most two prominent figures that will change the world. The Boss, and her apprentice, Jack. aka Naked Snake, who will become the legendary figure Big Boss that will send the world to hell.

The Boss: What about you, Jack? What's it going to be? Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to me? Your country, or your old mentor? The mission, or your beliefs? Your duty to your unit, or your personal feelings? You don't know the truth yet. But sooner or later you'll have to choose...

Naked Snake: Boss?

The Boss: CHOOSE!

*Blind white light* 

*1984*

In a dimmed room, a lone figure woke up from the dream or rather nightmare. He stood up and washed his face. It was Big Boss, the leader of Diamond Dogs. Suffering from PTSD and a sense of....lost. He looks at his face, then his bionic arm. He took a cigar and went outside.

Venom Snake: Boss....

*He lits up his cigar, before he could smoke it. A familiar figure approached him. His sliver sleek hair, and his cowboy style outfit. It was Revolver Ocelot*.

Ocelot: Are you okay....John?

Venom Snake looked on at him, seeing those rookie eyes like it was yesterday.

Naked Snake: You're Pretty Good
Ocelot: Pretty.....Good.

It takes a few minutes for Ocelot trying to get Venom Snake to focus.

R. Ocelot: Boss? Boss! It's Operation Snake Eater isn't it? *sigh* You still can't let go? Or has it resurfaced, because of what happen in the Caribbean? now with this whole "Quiet" thing? And the outbreak that the doctor caused?

Venom Snake chosen, to ignore him. He puffs one before Ocelot shakes his head and walks off. But not before looking back at Venom and saying to him.

R. Ocelot: Sooner or later. Those demons? You got to let go. Be at peace with yourself. I know this. Because I did.

Venom Snake, looks towards the dawn as a new day approaches.
