This will be the game that everyone will be playing, talking about and demanding for Christmas and the rest of 1999.
We may be looking at the greatest game of the decade here.

My childhood, one of the best games I ever played and an all time classic. You still can play it in 2023, never gets old.

Gripping. You will not be able to make your way through this unrelenting adventure without feeling your stomach flip and churn into knots.
A Solid story, inventive gameplay mechanisms, both third and first person views, a slew of spy equipment, awesome weapons, unique emotional plot and stealth make MGS one of PlayStation's greatest games ever.
The tense atmosphere and sense of urgency the game is able to generate is downright stunning. I often found myself gripping the controller so tight my knuckles would be turning white!
Metalgear is distinctive in that the game is woven around the story, rather than the opposite way around.
While it is playable, and actually pretty fun a lot of the time, it has some serious, nearly game ruining flaws that, for me, made it a complete disappointment.
I played this game in 1998, but still the most impactful game I've ever played, and my favorite game of all time.

Metal Gear Solid (MGS) is a classic title for the ps1 and one of the greatest game of all time, that's what most people would say. MGS is a good game don't get me wrong, but its an overrated one.
MGS's story is phenomenal and extremely compelling I don't blame people to purchase the game just for the story but the main glaring issue is the controls, the controls are an outdated mess and ruins the game significantly.
The controls ruins the story at most points because it replaces the feeling of intensity with pure frustration and it destroys the game because of it, a prime example of this problem is the fight with liquid on top of Metal Gear Rex the cut-scene that lead to this conflict was to put it simply, intense and thrilling but the moment you fight liquid the game falls flat on its face and makes the player suffer from horrible controls and it kills the atmosphere.
overall MGS is only good for the story and the controls are a god awful mess that kills the overall game.

A classic game with many innovative ideas. One of the first stealth games, so give it a playthrough if you like this genre. The camera view is quite annoying sometimes, but overall it is a good game.

Never before have I ever been as frustrated by a game than with Metal Gear Solid.

Le succès de Metal Gear Solid a eu au moins un effet positif : sans lui en effet nous n'aurions sans doute jamais eu les Splinter Cell. Le jeu aurait pu être bon s'il n'était pas aussi sclérosé par sa japoniaiserie dégoulinante, ses contrôles très perfectibles et sa vue d'en haut contraire au bon sens le plus élémentaire.
Sa mise en scène est risible (quand les Japonais tentent de singer Hollywood, c'est ce que ça donne -la VF caricaturale en accentue le grotesque) et ses "boss" ridicules semblent tout droit sortis d'une borne d'arcade des années 90. Techniquement pour de la PS1, c'est dans le haut du panier certes mais ça ne suffit pas à tirer MGS de son marasme vidéo-ludique.
