In the lightning fast world of technology this game is pretty much ancient.But gold is gold no matter how old it is. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect score is because graphically it cannot compete with the cutting edge games of today. Everything about this game is on par with games being released today. Don't expect an absolute rambo style experience via counter strike or other first person "twitch" shooters. MGS is all about tactical combat. Don't expect to fight 500 enemies at once. Expect to use stealth and precise killing techniques to over come your adversaries.Also don't expect to just be fighting other soldiers either. Evading detection and using sly technology blend together with just enough heavy firepower and cqb action. The first time you play thru you'll be on the edge of your seat desperatly trying to complete your mission, but the second time around hours of fun can be had for the operator who wants to explore the game more deeply and have some fun figuring out devious ways to disable your opponents other than the ever popular "headshot". The A.I. in this game is probably the grandfather of A.I. as we know it. Other games before it may have had A.I. but none that I can think of contained the depth and feel that you are actually up against an army of well trained soldiers. Of course even the most well trained soldiers are only human and subject to certain vices which is part of the fun when figuring out ways to take them out. If you are coming into playing this without having any of the gameplay challenges spoiled expect to have to think out side of the box to surpass some of the games more unique "puzzles". All in all this is the game that put the MGS series on the map, despite having other previous titles that were also cutting edge in their time on older systems and having a very succesful line of games for multiple platforms. If you are still reading this and you have never played MGS go get it right now you won't regret it. 9/10Read full review
I had to replace my disk 2 for Metal Gear Solid because once I got to the section were you need to swap my PS wasn't reading my game. Disk was in great quality, original blue disk art, also included a nice sleeve to hold it. Shipping was fast! The disk came in a day or so early!

I was a huge fan of Metal Gear when it came out but years passed and I hadn't played in forever. I now have a 10 year old son and we play "Smash Brothers Brawl", which takes characters from various video games over the years and pits them against each other. One of those characters being Snake from Metal Gear. My son loves Brawl and when I explained why I always use Snake, wanted to see the original. We've had a great time playing this game of my youth!! Thank you for making this available!!!

If you have the chance to pick up the physical copy of this game I highly recommend it. You can play this on the PlayStation one, the PlayStation 2, as well as the fat version of the PlayStation 3. There is not excuse not to play this masterpiece.
