Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Hideo Kojima had created possibly the greatest game around when both MGS1 and 2 were unvailed so the question was, how could he improve? The answer? Even more additions. The new setting the jungle has been the main source of this. Now you are able to climb trees, camouflage yourself by changing clothes and face paint, treating injuries(this can get a bit tedious at times) and being able to eat animals such as snakes, hence the name Snake eater. Not only that but as mentioned before you can also use CQC, short for Close Quarters Combat in which using weapons that rely on one hand, you can sneak up behind an enemy and do a whole variety of things. From slitting their throats undetected to getting an enemy to call off an alert, the possibilities are unlimited.
The name Metal Gear Solid was not only famous for the above but also famous for the fact that there were so many good bosses and MGS3 is no different. There are around seven or eight different bosses which you can fight again in duel mode when. These include four of the five cobras, "The Pain","The Fear","The End" and "The Fury" and there is also a battle with "The Sorrow" but it's different to the other four. You also fight the man who appeared in MGS1 and 2, Ocelot as well as Colonel Volgin and your former mentor Big Boss.
Moving onto the lifespan of the game now, at first you may be shocked at how quick it is to complete the game on very easy, this taking around ten to fifteen hours but once you've done that you also have to complete the other six difficulty levels. Here, there is the European Extreme difficulty in which you are truely in tactical espionage. If the enemy sees the slightest movement its game over and this isn't going to happen in just one part of the game, it's going to occur throughout. There are also the sixty-four kerotan frogs which you have to shoot and getting other additions such as the camouflages.
Some complain about this game being to lifelike and too serious, this is not completely true. For Hideo has added Snake Vs Monkey, here you fight monkeys similar to the ones from Ape Escape.The music of Metal Gear Solid games has always been good but I think MGS3 takes that to another level. In ever part of the game it suits the atmosphere set.
