If you want to own and play all of the core Metal Gear Solid games, this is your chance!

All of the core Metal Gear Solid games before the fifth one in one beautiful package, including the old MSX computer titles that started the franchise: Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. If you are a die hard Metal Gear fan I highly recommend this product, and if you are a casual fan that just wants to have a sampling of what its all about this is for you too. On the first disc it contains the original 8-bit Metal Gear games that were never released in the US, the High Definition versions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Disc one contains Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The package also contains a digital download code for the original Metal Gear Solid and it's companion Metal Gear Solid: The VR Missions. In addition to the games themselves, if you put disc 2 in a Blu-Ray player, you get access to the Digital Graphic Novels for Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, which are basically just animated comics that play like a movie and are voice acted by the original actors from the series. There is only one con that I can think of to mention. You have to have an internet connection, and a Playstation Network account to get the first Metal Gear Solid and the VR missions. This might be just a nitpick, but this is arguably the most important game in the series but it's not included on one of the discs, and you need an internet connection. If you have none of these things, don't buy this collection solely because you want to play the original. I would have liked them to just put the time in to making it appear on one of the discs like the 8-bit MSX Computer games are, but that's just an opinion. I didn't have any problems with it.Read full review
