Tis true my friends, Metal Gear has returned with it's latest installment that will win all those fans back that were disgusted with MGS 2 for taking Snake out. MGS 3 is miles ahead of what the other games were, and you really need to play it to fully appreciate the features and depth the game has. And yes, for those of you who haven't played the game yet, Snake is the only character you play as. No Raiden or anything (even though they do play a little joke on you at the beginning of the game having Snake wear a mask of Raiden). And Snake is just as cool as ever. Good thing that's been fixed.

Ok now first I'm going to tell you, I liked Metal Gear Solid 2. The story, the characters, everything. I thought it was a good game. However MGS no doubt beats it in every aspect. If you've played MGS from it's first appearance back on PS1, you will definitely appreciate everything this game has to offer. The graphics are gorgous, just like they have been in every other game. Environments look rich and detailed, and characters look and act just about as human as you can get for a video game. The controls are smooth, and only expand upon the features that have naturally been added over the years. The most notable addition would be the stanima, which you have to keep high for Snake to be able to continue. It's kind of like energy, and the way you replenish it is by eating. Since the game takes place primarily in the jungle, there are plenty of animals to kill and plants to eat, and you will quickly learn what tastes good and what doesn't. Also the addition of being able to cure your injuries is quite clever, and is throughly explained to you when you first discover how. Also this time the story is significantly better than the last. The game takes place in the 1960's when relations between the U.S and Russia were very strained. The Snake that appears in this game though is not the Snake that is in other games. Although he looks just the same, Snake is an agent who works for the American government. His real name is Jack, and he has nothing to do with Solidous, Liquid and such. He was trained by one of the other main characters in the game, The Boss. The story sets up that Snake is being sent to Russia to rescue a scientist named Sokolov, who has been kidnapped and forced to work on the newest Metal Gear/Atomic weapon Shagohod. Fairly early in the game Snake rescues Sokolov and you find out that The Boss has betrayed Snake and joined a group of Russian militants trying to otherthrow the Russian government. Like I normally do, I do not want to spoil the story for those who have not played it, but much of the game has to deal with rescuing Sokolov so he cannot complete Shagohod. I thought the story was quite interesting considering it takes places way before the other games, and took history which I thought was quite boring and made it very good.

The name Snake Eater comes from the name code name of Snake's mission.

If you liked any other MGS games, you will like MGS 3 : Snake Eater. The story is good, the graphics are beautiful, the characters are interesting, the controls are smooth, and the game is just plain fun. For the twenty hours or so it occupies your life, you will love it. There's plenty of hidden features and extras in here too, to keep you busy even after you've beaten the game. So go to your nearest game store, or add this to your shopping cart, because this is one PS2 game that you don't want to be without.
