A cinematic classic. [Feb 2003, p.97]
100
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.

For a game made in 1998 it's truly a graphical achievement with amazing gameplay at that time and mind-blowing boss fight

This will be the game that everyone will be playing, talking about and demanding for Christmas and the rest of 1999.

We may be looking at the greatest game of the decade here.

Gripping. You will not be able to make your way through this unrelenting adventure without feeling your stomach flip and churn into knots.

A Solid story, inventive gameplay mechanisms, both third and first person views, a slew of spy equipment, awesome weapons, unique emotional plot and stealth make MGS one of PlayStation's greatest games ever.

The tense atmosphere and sense of urgency the game is able to generate is downright stunning. I often found myself gripping the controller so tight my knuckles would be turning white!

Metalgear is distinctive in that the game is woven around the story, rather than the opposite way around.

While it is playable, and actually pretty fun a lot of the time, it has some serious, nearly game ruining flaws that, for me, made it a complete disappointment.

Good game, but it's really difficult to play it in 2025 - graphics, controls, etc. - very unfamiliar for a modern player

By today's standards, Metal Gear Solid is outdated and frankly a chore to play. Unintuitive controls, archaic game design, restrictive saving system are already detrimental but typical features of older games. The real problems lie in the story and boss fights. MGS's story pales in comparison to later entries, with less stakes and more idiotic moments, portrayed by liquid snake, who's an unremarkable villain devoid of any wit or charm. It's not a bad story by any means, but it isn't the spy action blockbuster that it's hyped up to be. However, the worst part of this game is unequivocally the boss fights. While some can be decent, most of the boss fights in this game go from annoying to downright frustrating, especially when factoring the terrible controls. The last boss fight in particular is especially drawn out and terrible. While Metal Gear Solid was an innovative product for it's time, especially with it's decent characterization, game mechanics, set pieces and voice acting, it is antiquated, frustrating, and in dire need of a remake.

It's ok at best. Certainly outdated and very clunky and frustrating by today's standards and that's why I had no fun playing it. If you didn't experience it back then, you'll hardly find it enjoyable now.

Never before have I ever been as frustrated by a game than with Metal Gear Solid.
