Jun 12, 201110Fun, cool, and unique. The characters, the story, the gameplay.... its all just top notch.
-
MarkD.Nov 4, 200610Possably the greatest game ever, certainly the greatest PSX game! The stealthy gameplay made it more tense, gripping and non liniar then any aciton game before it (and not to mention revolutionary). It also had more unforgettable "classic moments" then any other game i've ever played.

Jan 5, 201310This is one of the finest action games ever made. MGS launched the stealth action genre in a was that no one expected. For it's time nothing like it had ever been made and it's legacy certainly lives on. I can think of no better game that deserves an update to the current generation.

Mar 4, 201210This is a wonderful game. It serves as a great start to the legendary Metal Gear Solid series. Even in modern days it is still one of the best single player games around.

Jul 8, 201210This masterpiece deserves the attention of all gamers. With Its incredible story and a very accessible control scheme, It won't take long to learn the stealth and action elements from MGS. Don't have a ps1? The game is now downloadable through the Playstation Store. Buy it play it 'ya won't regret it!

ShaneK.Jan 3, 20089It's been a while since I played the PSone port but I must have played and finished this game about a dozen times. There was something about the GC version I didn't like. The PSone version was a classic.
-
-
CodyR.Feb 28, 200810This game is a classic through and through. It'll leave you with one word "...wow". Phenomenal in every aspect music, game play, story, and graphics (for 1998 at least). A must buy, must play, must own experience.

-
-
BlancoA.Sep 23, 20019This is an incredibly cool game, but as the critics mention, I found myself a little impatient with ALL the cut-scenes. There's a lot of hand-holding going on at every stage, as well. But the mechanics of the gameplay are pretty incredible.

-
-
BenD.Jul 26, 20057While the story, characters, and cutscenes are outstanding, the dated graphics and most notably the clunky controls really hurt this game. Oh, and the Psycho Mantis battle is super cool.
-

StevenS.Nov 19, 200610This game is amazing. I remember playing this one when I was like, 9. Only thing wrong with it is that I don't have it anymore, but i'm not gonna give up on that.

BillD.Mar 28, 200610When this game first came out, I was seriously amazed. A classic and probably the best in the series.

RyanGOct 7, 200810Hands down, the best ps1 game ever. Not even Final Fantasy 7 stands up to it. I still play it today.
-

FergusP.Apr 22, 200710A classical. This is the best word to descrbe this absolute monster of a game, it blow me away when it first came out and to this day I hold this game close to my heart. The amount of fantastic set pieces, memerable moments and legendary bosses is absolutely mind blowing-some may say 6 hours of cutscenes is too much, I say give me more.
-
-
VTRBR10Jul 23, 200710One of the classics for the ps1...a lot of thinking on this game, sure is a smart game. I surely recommend this game for those who like a challenge.
-
-
RyanMay 18, 200810The greatest game of the 5th gen of consoles, and one of the greatest modern stories EVER told.
-
-
ClemetWSep 22, 200810This was the ultimate game when it came out for PS1. It was far ahead in graphics and story-telling, and set new standards for the stealth genre. One of the best games ever released.

MarvinP.Dec 22, 200310THIS is the BESTEST game in the whole world.i liked every single cinema and specially the gameplay.I like all the weapons and secrets too.

AndrewC.Apr 12, 200610Amazing gameplay for its time, great graphics, great characters, unforgettable plotline... My greatest experience playing a video game. I must have beaten it about 10 times over.
-
-
AlC.Jun 18, 200710One of the best for PS1. Innovative in almost every aspect, Kojima doesn't disappoint. An engaging storyline, fantastic character development, and gameplay that is varied and just plain fun.

CodyBJun 29, 200910This classic has been in every playstation owners' library for 11 years now. I played this game since I was 6 years old & I play it as of today, as do millions of gamers around the world. A true masterpiece of epic proportions!!

TomSAug 17, 200910My eyes may be clouded by my nostalgia goggles, but this game is just as great now as it was when I was a kid. It's got the challenge that The Twin Snakes lacks. Also, to the anonymous poster who said he was using auto fire (if you're not just a troll), you should pay closer attention. Ocelot says "don't use auto fire, or I'll know."
-
-
TSSep 16, 200910This game is just so amazing. The storyline, gameplay, soundtrack, and controls are all just remarkable. Best game I've ever played {along with MGS2, MGS3, and MGS4}.

Jan 19, 201110This best game I've ever played. and it's still easy to say that. This game defined a whole genre on its own. The first game on a great series and also the best.

Feb 17, 20138One of the most imaginative and original games of its era only let down slightly by the longer than necessary cut-scenes. Nowadays you’d be better off buying the Twin Snakes remake on the Gamecube but this easily ranks amongst the greatest PSone title and is arguably still the best in the series.
-
Mar 8, 20139Even today it is still the best title of the series. The stealth system was new and unique, it had voice action and a complex story with twists to think about.

Dec 13, 201110There literally wasn't any or still isn't any video game like this game, it mastered the stealth genre like no other, one of the best video games on the Play Station or on any video game system, a Masterpiece.

Feb 22, 201310This game is awesome. The story is so damn good that never gets boring. The graphics are nice for a ps one game and the sound is great and catch perfectly the game's atmosphere. The characters are memorable and the dialogues are nice. One of the best ps one games ever.

Feb 24, 20138Recientemente jugado en PSX, me resulta curioso que un juego de esas características, antigüedad, sencillez y en pleno 2012 siga resultando interesante.
Una buena historia, un desarrollo llamativo y lo mejor de todo, he usado la Playstation para algo.

100A cinematic classic. [Feb 2003, p.97]

100It is literally full of those 'classic' moments that are all too rare these days. Whether it's the first time your footprints are discovered, the first time you perform a stealth kill, finding out the identity of the 'Ninja', solving the method of defeating Psycho Mantis, obtaining the camera and seeking out your first 'ghost'... there are so many classic memories.

This game is full of surprises and you never know what is going to happen, and that is a very good thing.
