Metal Gear Solid - PC Games

Now before you start to scream in horror, and run out and tell everybody that you've seen games being ported over from console to the humble beige box before, and that every time this happens the game is always hurt in the process, let me tell you one thing. It's a port, but not as we know it Jim.

Although the missions and style of gameplay is the same from the PlayStation version--and why shouldn't it be, when it was so good--the graphics have been completely started from scratch.

For those not familiar with Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation here' s a quick rundown. You play Solid Snake, a highly trained special ops commander brought out of retirement for one last mission. Your mission is to defeat other corrupt members of your once top-notch team and rescue your old boss. Things however, start to go wrong as soon as you get to their base and the storyline unfolds from there.

So what you get is a game that has the playability of the original version, but the improved graphics that the PC can give you. If this wasn't enough Microsoft, the developer, who has lovingly ported it, has included the VR Mission set as well to keep you entertained--something that for the original PlayStation players wasn't included in the original. --Stuart Miles ...
