  1. An improvement of an already sensational game. It's got the stellar gameplay that made the previous title shine, as well as tossing in some great camera control and a few other modifications.

    Metal Gear Online? On the PS2? Surely it's crap! I admit, I didn't think it could be pulled off very well... but I'll happily eat my words, because it's bloody brilliant.
  3. With this new online mode, it's much easier to admit that you like Metal Gear Solid 3. [July 2006, p.93]

  1. This game is a very great game with excellent story with fun gameplay and plenty of intense moments. The original version (snake eater) wasn't super just because of the camera angle and that is why this is so much better. there is not much replay value to the game itself but subsistance comes with bonuses that ad to the game. unfortunately i can not review the bonus content because i got the package that had the 1st 3 MGS games and it only came with disc 1.

    I was very disappointed with the online play. It doesn’t even compare to games such as SOCOM, truthfully I had to make myself keep playing. The old Metal Gear games that come with this package are great add-ons, but who really wants to play them? As for the newer version.. I have already beat the game with a bad camera angle, why would I want to replay it with a good one. It's just not enough of an incentive for me. Expand

    While this game has the BEST story and game play I've played in years, the fact that it also has the WORST control system prevents me give it a score more than 4. I find it most annoying and frustrating when switching constantly between the first person and third person view. And some times the camera views get "auto-switched" when I don't even intent to. You can only move around when you are in the third person view, but then you can't see what (or who) is ahead of you. Yes, you can switch to the first person view, but then you can't move in this view, only to look around. It's most frustrating and annoying to walk a few steps, then stop, then change camera view to first person, to look around, then change the view back to third person, then walk another few steps, then repeat the whole process again.
