Man!! What a game truly amazing with the stealth mechanism with using camouflage and hunting animals for food to gain stamina and The Boss might be one of the best female character in a video game

One of best game stories ever made. Kojima needs to be a movie director. Ending is one of the most hard-hitting ever in gaming.

Still one of the greatest games of all time, enhances even more the 3d world a gives us an incredible game for 2004. Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is another proof of Kojima's revolutionary vision.

As a first experience in the mgs franchise, ive gotta say this got me hooked to play the other games. I love the music, characters, gameplay. A genuine masterpiece like almost everything Kojima touches 9.5/10

Creo que "Metal gear solid 3" es la obra maestra de Kojima de los mejores juegos de la play2 tiene un gameplay que fomenta la creatividad con muchas formas de pasar momentos importantes de la historia y hablando de esta es muy buena y cumple además que los personajes rompen la cuarta pared en diálogos pero si debo señalar cosas malas es que pasas un buen tiempo en un menú que no es malo en sí pero es mucho tiempo casi un 15% de gameplay y lo otro es que si te descubren o en partes de tiroteos no es tan bueno esfuncional pero no termina de convencerme pero creo que te incita a ser sigiloso 10/10

This is the worst game I've ever played in my life, everything about it is garbage: graphics, story, music, sound, it's all a complete piece of crap

This game is far worse than the previous installment. They didn't bring back the most famous and beloved character in gaming history, and it just ruined the experience.

Snake Eater es el único Metal Gear Solid donde casi todo encaja. Aquí el juego es mecánica antes que discurso: supervivencia, camuflaje, desgaste físico, lectura del entorno y adaptación constante forman un sistema coherente y expresivo. La narrativa emerge del uso del cuerpo y del espacio, no de la sobre explicación. Incluso sus excesos están al servicio del juego. MGS3 no necesita justificar su ambición: funciona. Es el Metal Gear donde Kojima deja de imitar otros medios y, por una vez, entiende de verdad el suyo. Un juego inteligente y bien estructurado, plagado de mecanismos internos que sostienen su grandilocuencia (The End, la gestión de la comida, la cura de heridas). Aun así, esa misma falta de humildad se traduce también en un videojuego profundamente risible (The Boss, Volgin, la economía militarizada del cuerpo), con una visión hipertrofiada de aspectos como la masculinidad frágil o el conflicto mundial. MGS: Snake Eater funciona especialmente bien en una lectura adolescente, donde su aproximación simplificada a la geopolítica aún no chirría. Con el tiempo, resulta evidente lo banal que es su perspectiva. En resumen: el juego funciona a pesar de Kojima, no gracias a él. Y, como juego, tiene sus elementos sistémicos profundos.

NO SPOILER One of the best narrative storys, one that any player can understand if pays attention. The gameplay feels so good. Best videogame finale that can make you feel diferent emotions. On my opinion, is better play it after MGS 1 and 2, but is not fully required, been simpler than other MGS. There are so many details that its almost impossible know all. This game prove the real limits of Playstation 2. Between the original and Delta (Remake) i prefer this one. A low point it could be some bosses that feels a litle easier than MGS 1 & 2 bosses, like Fear or the Sorrow. This game have so many "secundary" o "secret" cinematics that makes you feel that its a videogame to explore and give it time. Its the best videogame i ever played for now.
A game that makes you understand ideologies, politics, people, countrys. I cried in the last cinematic. No game its perfect, but this one deserve 9.8/10🫡

Le meilleur Metal Gear de l’histoire. Le scénario et les cinématiques qui l’accompagnent sont incroyables. Les boss, le gameplay, le niveau de détails et la bande-son. Tout est génial dans ce jeu.

Bosses geniales, situaciones variadas y divertidas, trama tonta con drama y acción, muy buen juego, aunque muchas veces es muy poco intuitivo; incluso con el boss final.

The second best game in the franchise, amazing story and immersvie. The only complaint people have is the controls because they’re too bad at the game so they need to act like it’s the games fault.

Sehr geniales Spiel für seine Zeit und auch für die jetzige Zeit. Ich würde jeden jedoch empfehlen das Remake zu spielen, da die Steuerung veraltet ist. Kojima ist ein Meister-Schopfer von Videospielen und Story-Telling, dies hat er mit diesem Spiel mal wieder unter Beweis gestellt. Super zu Empfehlen für jeden der gute, tiefgründige Stories mag und gut mit alten PS2 Gamemechaniken klar kommt. Meisterwerk und Klassiker!

Still the best version of the game. Make sure to play this game before even touched the censored remake. Game still looks great today and why replaying these games is so seamless. Controls could be better but honestly not much of an issue.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is a strong contender for the best game in the series. After the uneven, but mostly enjoyable MGS2, MGS3 takes things in a radically new direction, set in the Cold War era with a new jungle setting. MGS3 tells a sweeping narrative centered on blind loyalty to ones country or government, but unlike MGS2, keeps the gameplay front and center at all times. And in typical Kojima fashion, MGS3 finds really clever ways to utilize its game design, and features some of the best bosses in the series.

mgs3 is more than a game, it’s an experience that does story telling so well. If you want a fictional military game that isn’t about just guns and pure grit, this game is perfect,

The game is a masterpiece and still holds up surprisingly well and is arguably the best of the original MGS games. Still holds up today and loads of fun to still play. The game still has a great story and awesome voice acting that still holds up even today.

Metal Gear Solid 3 stands, in my view, as the pinnacle of the series. For many players, it marked their first encounter with a survival-lite system that required active management of hunger, injuries, and environmental conditions—adding a layer of realism that set it apart. Among the franchise’s entries, it remains one of the most grounded in reality, while still embracing the signature science fiction elements and intricate conspiracies that define the Metal Gear universe. Hideo Kojima once again delivered a masterclass in game design and storytelling, and for me, this title will always represent the apex of interactive narrative and gameplay excellence.

I never grew up with these consoles, in fact my first console was the PlayStation 3 however I got tired of buying subscriptions so I got a ps2 and a couple games. This game is amazing and feels strange that this was even able to run on the Ps2 because it looks so good. The only complaint I have is that some areas get tough if you don't know what to do but you can always watch a quick video.

I was late. I found this treasure Metal Gear series in 2025. The whole series story seems completed. to better understand who is who, Follow the time line, Snake Eater should be the first game to play. New Player like it or not depends on snake eater, either quit or play entire series. Mistakenly play wrong one will be in the middle of mist. Metal Gear meanly is about amateur military content, Secondary is comedy. Thankfully Late series finally have Military supervisor. It may look silly, but with excellent humor sense. Such like a big Soldier guy Sitting inside the paper box was spotted like the abandoned cat. That's cute. And the Mountain Cat, They laugh make me laugh is very impressive one. also Normal enemy soldiers are friendly and kind. A good reason To catch and bring them home in Peace Walker. In video game, Japanese is first worldwide language, not english. Cost a lot money to collect metal gear series in different Platform. It is challenge for me to understand story without japanese or chinese. I know the concern. The chinese government very likely hate this story because of Eva, say It is illegal and anti government then forbid selling. Anyway, the government even don't like 西游记86 and cut Several scenes. What i am saying is, The China government can't stand for chinese player player. to the Government, Steam is already a crime like smuggling goods. me 70% Made up of video games, Mostly from japan. I saw KONAMI most shining history. In 2004, a GBA game card was selling 8000jpy, That's insane price. A normal citizen have 2100cny/30000jpy per month. Meanwhile, a pirate copy NES game card just selling 12cny/200jpy. Many game soft Still selling 8000 jpy Each game nowadays for Strategies, buy willingness, or tax Convenient. I just think it doesn't work worldwide. By the way, there's two main way to protect copyright, First require network cooperate online, chinese player always have some connection problem because of Great Wall. second, no chinese language. denuvo can do but Unnecessary. One more thing. Kojima Hideo might don't like NES metal gear unofficial story. I have two reason like it. 1 There's a coin battery setting in the game card Always run out the power or collision Causing loss savedata. saving Password Provided a chance to complete the game. I don't have MSX2, All i got is an old Family Computer and a black white television as child. 2 The game provided big map adventure and various items. That's rare and precious. I don't even know his name snake, the title metal gear, I tried every button on controller and search every corner to get through Without understanding any english.

Il capolavoro definitivo della saga Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater è uno dei giochi più amati di sempre, grazie a una storia intensa, ambientata durante la Guerra Fredda, che racconta le origini di Big Boss. La narrazione è matura, toccante e ricca di momenti iconici, con **** indimenticabili come The Boss e **** gameplay stealth si evolve con meccaniche di sopravvivenza uniche: caccia, cure manuali e mimetizzazione rendono l’esperienza profonda e immersiva. Le ambientazioni nella giungla sono spettacolari e la colonna sonora, con l’epica “Snake Eater”, è da **** gioco leggendario, emotivo e innovativo, considerato da molti il vertice assoluto della serie.

おそらくタランティーノがゲーマーだったら完璧なゲームといっているであろう。前作がメタ的な物語だったのに対して、ゲーム内物語がゲーム内のみでほぼ完結する作りになっていて、作り手としての成熟を感じる。個人的には2のギラギラとしたゲームプレイが大好きなのでちょっと気になるところではあるが、すべての要素が高い点数をたたき出している。

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a standout entry in the series, blending survival mechanics with espionage in a richly detailed Cold War setting. The jungle environment offers creative freedom and tactical depth, with systems like camouflage, stamina management, and injury treatment enhancing immersion. Narratively, it delivers one of Kojima’s most emotionally powerful stories, anchored by the complex relationship between Naked Snake and The Boss. The final act, in particular, remains one of the most impactful conclusions in gaming. However, the original camera system feels increasingly outdated by today’s standards, with fixed angles and limited control that can hinder situational awareness during stealth and combat. While later versions improved this with a free camera, the base experience suffers from the constraint. Despite this, MGS3 remains a genre-defining title, with strong pacing, bold direction, and thematic resonance that outweigh its mechanical aging. It’s an ambitious and memorable experience, even if some of its systems show their age.

The best game series bar none. Metal Gear is head and shoulders above everything before it and after it. No other stealth game is better than it. FACT.

"Snake Eater" is arguably the best game in the series. This prequel set in 1964 is a survival stealth game that has bothersome flaws. One is the exposition dumps. The game takes a while to start due to several cutscenes explaining the plot. Also, the camouflage system can slow the action down. And the over-the-head camera perspective isn't very good. In fact, Kojima fixed it for the "Subsistence" re-release. I would also say that the radio conversations run way too long. All that being said, MGS 3 is an epic action game with an intriguing plot and plenty of secrets. The boss battles are also pretty memorable. Overall, I would rate this with a 9.3 out of 10.

One of the standout games of the PS2 era and the pinnacle of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater introduced groundbreaking gameplay mechanics, such as survival elements like managing health, hunger, and camouflage, which added layers of realism and immersion. The level of detail in every aspect of the game is remarkable, from the meticulously designed environments to the depth of the characters. Visually, Snake Eater was a masterpiece for its time, with lush, vibrant jungle environments and highly detailed character models. The gripping, emotionally charged story features unforgettable moments and plot twists. From its unforgettable opening to the final, heart-wrenching moments, this game remains a shining example of what video games can achieve when they blend innovative gameplay with a truly compelling story.
