Product Description
From the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.

A remastered version of Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, and Peace Walker for the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The description does not say it, but you are actually getting the Substance and Subsistence versions of Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater, respectively. This includes all the extras included on those special re-releases (My favorite being the fully controllable camera on Subsistence), minus the Snake VS Monkey mini game in Snake Eater. The remaster looks great in 1080P HD. Frame rate from what I can tell so far is a steady and constant 60 FPS. Altogether, I would say that this re-release, despite the exclusion of Metal Gear Solid (which is only $10 on the PSN for PS3 owners), is a must buy for anyone who wants to experience Peace Walker, Sons of Liberty, and Snake Eater again in remastered HD. 19 of 22 people found the following review helpful: The Definitive Way to Experience Metal Gear Solid, = Fun: This review is from: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (Video Game) There have been a great deal of HD collections coming out lately. Most giving you trophy or achievement support along with the updated visuals. The Metal Gear Solid HD collection is not different. But the package seems worth it mainly because of just how much you're going to get from these games. By bringing you the Substance version of MGS2 and the Subsistence version of MGS3 you are getting much more than your money's worth here. Not to mention you are still getting Peace Walker.There isn't much need to discuss the story of Metal Gear here. In the first place, we'd be here all day just trying to discuss what it all means. And in the second place, the majority of you getting your hands on this have probably already experienced these games once before. I will only say that the story of the saga is absorbing, confusing and a lot of fun. Gamers have been absorbed by the themes of these games for quite some time, but experiencing them again isn't always so bad. The...

It is easily one of the greatest games in the MGS series and was hobbled only by the small screen and poor controls of the PSP. Now you can enjoy it in all the big screen and normal PS3 controller glory. It has made the transition from a tiny screen to 1080 quite well, though the color palate can seem rather bland at times.MGS2 and 3 has also made the tranistion from the PS3 into HD very well. That said if you own the originals and aren't the most hard core fan it may not be worth the entry to replay games you already own, even in slightly updated form. I freely admi to being an MGS geek and for me it is worth it to recapture the magic again. Also worth noting is that these are the second releases of MGS2 and 2, the Substance and Subsistence versions which including very useful upgrades like camera control that lacked in the original release. |
