Features three different Metal Gear Solid games that have been improved graphically quite a bit. However, the basic gameplay remains unchanged, so there aren't any new changes to the old formula. This is only a good thing if you like the series' stealth action style of play but a very bad thing if you just hate sneaking around and prefer shooting your enemies. Nevertheless, even without any big changes this is still a great collection of some really good games for fans of the series. [March 2012]

Kojima-san spent most of his childhood in front of the television and always wanted to be a movie director. Even though he might not have made it to Hollywood, his genius and cinematic talent are what made this series and its characters so iconic. [March 2012, p.90]

Metal Gear is unmatched. Hideo Kojima is god, and I'm so glad this series is coming back! Long live Metal Gear!

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.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is an essential purchase, and more content worth experiencing than just about any other game released in the past year.

Although the first MGS game, especially story-wise, is really missing from this collection, you can't overlook the overall quality of the package. A must have for fans and newcomers in Kojima's franchise alike.

Melodramatic monologues and clunky controls aside, there isn't a whole lot else I can say about the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection outside of this: if you loved these three gruff, gravel-voiced games on their original releases, or missed them the first time around, they're certainly worth adding (or re-adding, or, if you're like me, re-re-adding) to your library.

Engrossing, challenging and exciting entertainment, spiced up with a solid dosage of humor and kitsch. A blast from the past that still holds up today, if you know what you're getting into.

It's hard not to fall for such an offer, of 3 great games for less than a full retail HD game. But at the same time, one can't help but notice some lazyness in the remastering process. Efforts have been reduced to a minimum, with no additionnal content whatsoever, and there are even some technical shortcomings (frame rate drops on MGS2 and 3). For the nostalgia, for the collection, for the fans, or those who never had the chance to play them, it's still a cult saga with memorable sequences.

A wise man once said... MGS2 is subjectively the best game; and MGS3 is objectively the best game. And I can't think of a better way to put it. Both are arguably the best stealth action games ever made, with their revolutionary stories and gameplay. Whilst MGS2 has the better story, MGS3 has the better gameplay, and both are incredible experiences. Peacewalker in this collection is by far the best way to experience it. The updated FPS and controls make it a much more competent game, and really show what it was envisioned to be. Peacewalker, while less popular, is still hella fun, and an absolute must play to fans of the series as a tie in between mgs3 and 5 (4 is much later in the timeline), and a very fun more action-oriented title. Closing thoughts: literally 3 masterpieces on one disk, that's nuts!!

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection does exactly what it says on the tin. If you loved the originals, you'll love this. If you didn't like them... well, enough said. If you are a new player, perhaps you should approach with caution. Games have evolved a lot since the peak of MGS. Devoid of nostalgia, these games can flounder a little. MGS2, for example: Great game all the way up until the last third, where it suddenly disintegrates into an incoherent mess. It is widely considered to be the weakest of the franchise (not by me, though). Conversely, many would say that MGS3 is probably the best Solid Snake outing, but I strongly disagree. Part 3 was where the balance between the cut-scenes and gameplay was thrown out of whack. Play for ten minutes, watch for fifteen. It got worse in MGS4 but the rot started back here in Snake Eater. MSG3 also suffers from being a transitional title. The newly introduced elements such as it's camera system are not yet perfected and feel cumbersome when compared to modern games. Overall, this is a solid (pun intended) package, but these games are not perfect and they never were... And where the hell is the first game? That WAS perfect.

Great series but I wish the first Metal Gear Solid was including along with trophies. Overall each game looks fantastic and I am glad they added trophies. Something that MGS4 lacked and MGS1 for PSN.

Some of the most overrated games ever. The sneaking is primitive, cumbersome and bugged. It relies on you memorizing enemy paths like an autistic robot. There is no real free thinking involved. There is no real way to quick load the game after being detected. The 3 games are just extremely obnoxious and unejoyable. The controls are complete **** I'd recommend checking out Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory or Thief 3 if you want a real stealth game.
SummaryMetal Gear Solid HD Collection bundles Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and updates them with HD visuals.
