PC Gameworld
If you have never played this game before, I envy you. You are in for possibly the best gaming experience to date.

One of the greatest games ever made, and if you haven't played it, you're denying yourself nothing but fun.
CheckOut
Combining action and adventure isn't an easy thing to do, but Konami has pulled it off beautfiully with Metal Gear Solid.
IGN
The port is great, the game is fantastic, and despite no multiplayer support, the sheer size of the game (if you include the VR Missions) means that your money will be well spent.
Read Full Review >GamePro
All in all, despite the less than stellar PC graphics, Metal Gear Solid remains an intense gaming experience with a gripping story and heart-stopping action.
Read Full Review >All Game Guide
If you enjoyed the PlayStation version, this might be worth picking up simply for the free Metal Gear Solid VR Missions.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
This is the definitive version of Metal Gear Solid and it's only available on the PC. Go tell your console owning buddies and watch 'em cringe.
Read Full Review >Daily Radar
If you're one of those hardcore "PC Only!" types that don't own a console, you'll definitely want to shell out the 35 smackers for this baby in order to find out just what the hell everyone was talking about two years ago.
Electric Playground
One of the best action-movie games on any platform. Some frustrating camera placement and a save-game that takes some getting used to take very little away from the excellent sneak-and-peek gameplay.
Read Full Review >GamerWeb PC
Reaching a new high in sound achievement MGS is must own title for anyone that is a fan of stealth type games.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
It's one of the best PlayStation games of all time, so if you're not familiar with the original, or even if you're a fan who wants to play the complete Metal Gear Solid in higher resolution, then you should definitely try Metal Gear Solid for the PC.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
Still a great game, but just wait until next year for the real show.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
With the enhanced visuals, the wealth of gameplay provided by both MGS and VR Missions, and the simple fact that MGS is fantastic title in the first place makes this a pretty smart buy for any PC gamer.
Read Full Review >Hot Games
PC gamers who have had no prior exposure to this game will definitely want to take a look, as this is still the same great game it always was.
Read Full Review >Happy Puppy
The major problems were addressed, the graphics were improved, and additional gameplay modes were added. What more could you ask for?
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
It's also rather obvious that the developers realised towards the end of the game that it was going to be far too short, resorting to the old trick of forcing you to backtrack across large portions of the game world (no less than three times!) to make it seem longer.
Read Full Review >Game Over Online
For those of you who have already played Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation, you don't need to pick this up, because it's the same thing.

A chance for PC gamers to experience the best of teh lat generation of console games. [Dec 2000, p.156]
CNET Gamecenter
For those unfamiliar with the title, this is a chance to check out one of the better console games ever made, warts and all.
Evil Avatar
If you're not caught up in the latest deathmatch FPS, and are willing to overlook some graphic glitches, Metal Gear Solid is a challenge worth picking up.
Read Full Review >Computer Games Magazine
May have been the first game to blaze the "stealthy action" trail, but the irony is that more recent PC offerings (such as "Thief") have since done it better, which leaves this port showing its age.
Read Full Review >Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
In the six hours that it takes to finish Metal Gear Solid, there is little more than an hour's interaction.

Chris K. gave it an8:
I wonder how outdated these votes are. The PC version of Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 is no different in story or audio. Everything is kept the same, however, graphics may be boosted up a bit. But really, what I like about the game is the extra features. Mines came with a second Disc which contained many different missions for a couple of categories. VR Training... Mystery... Ninja... etc. etc. The storyline in both games will entertain you, scare you, or make you laugh.
Wayne M. gave it a10:

Bill C. gave it a5:
Looks like the old ps game.
The Two gave it a 10:
The best game ever. The only thing that makes this game get away from perfection is graphics, everything else is flawless. And is much better than it's sequel.

Kaldea W. gave it a 9:
This game is by far the greatest game ever! It combines action/ adventure and sheer espionage all into one beautifully crafted game The game has not only a compelling and original storyline, but you get to know the characters. The game is worth every dollar.
