    The sheer immensity of this collection continues to astound me, and while price should by no means be the ultimate deciding factor in a review, with the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, it's impossible to ignore. Simply put, this single disc will keep you highly entertained for several staycations to come.

    Metal Gear Solid HD Collection has probably the highest quality-price ratio you can get. You'd be mad to miss out on what's on offer.

    Three great games at a very good price, brilliantly standing the test of time and allowing Xbox users to play MGS 3 and Peace Walker for the very first time. An high quality package, strongly advised for everyone.

    Sure, the first game is nowhere to be found and small pieces are cut from the game. But this is still a great collection though and shows that Kojimas classics stand the test of time.

  1. Super bias going into buying the HD collection and super bias about this review. It's my favorite series ever and was an absolute joy for me to re live these games in HD. Expand

    Just like the originals, but better. Better graphics, audio, effects, everything. It's also much more comfortable to play Peace Walker with a controller than it is on the PSP. Not as good as MGS4, but still amazing, just like all of the other Konami games. If you're new to the genre or setting, fear not. The controls are extremely ergonomic, and the stories are wonderful. Very artistic, especially Peace Walker. Expand
  3. I have to say, great HD collection, well worth the time and effort. Sons of Liberty Snake Eater are given a whole new lease of life from this release and its great to see them out again. Although Peace walker from the PSP is a flop in my opinion, It doesn't feel like a proper Metal Gear Solid game which begs the question why didn't they release the original from the Playstation 1. In any case strongly advise you to get this game so you will not be disappointed 8/10 Expand
  4. Metal Gear Solid is a fantastic series but these are just remakes. The updated graphics and sound are not worth paying $55 for. In my opinion, just pick up the originals. Expand
