5.0 out of 5 stars THE GRAND DADDY OF THEM ALL, June 29, 2001

This review is from: Metal Gear (Video Game)

Behold! The game that makes you use your mind--in addtion to your machine gun. Although DREADFULLY primitive by today's standards, Metal Gear was a powerful force in the days of the NES. When most games like Contra and Guerilla War (both good games)emphasized run and gun shooting, Metal Gear introduced a new idea: How about a game where you can use stealth and wit to get past your enemies? Needless to say, the idea worked EXTREMELY well. Even if you've played Metal Gear Solid, you'll feel right at home playing this game. Solid Snake starts off the game with nothing but his bare fists, radio, and he even managed to get his cigarettes. The guards aren't all that smart, but they do sleep, hit switches, patrol, and hone in on you when you accidentally fire an un-silenced weapon. The weapon variety is nice in this game, too. Handgun, machine gun, rocket launcher, grenade launcher, mines, etc. There is also a large variety of items like oxygen tanks, door cards, cardboard box, rations, etc. The door card system is annoying, though, because you have 10 cards or so, and you have to patiently go through each one of them to find out which one opens what door. The graphics are nothing special, but the atmosphere will remind you of Metal Gear Solid. Music is only average as well. The storyline makes up for the other two, though. If you haven't played this great classic, you need to do so. You're missing out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metal Gear, February 17, 2002

This review is from: Metal Gear (Video Game)

Although this game is made for regualar Nintendo, I love it because it is the start of a beautiful game sequence. For anyone who still has a NES laying around their house, I recommend this item for everyone over the age of six. You play as the super stealth soldier Solid Snake in stopping the nuclear weapon Metal Gear with over two hours of Metal Gear action.

Metal Gear is a must have for any Metal Gear or Metal Gear Solid fan.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Metal Gear (Video Game)

I love the Metal Gear Solid games that are currently on a PlayStation exclusive series.Metal Gear Solid 3 is the best game in the series yet,Metal Gear Solid 2 2nd and Metal Gear Solid third.I got my chance to play the original Metal Gear after i sold my old MGS3:Snake Eater and bought the new Subsistence edition which actually includes the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake amongst other features such as special theater,secret theater and Online mode aswell as the "Snake Eater" game.
Anyways Metal Gear is actually a good game,its the first mission Solid Snake does.He is sent to infiltrate a terrorist base under the commands of Big Boss(Big Boss is the protagonsit of MGS3).
He ultimately leads to meeting his first Metal Gear,which is called MG TX-55,aswell as finding himself infiltrating Outer Heaven.For an old 2D game from the 80`s-MG is quite a good game and I see that the newer 3D Metal Gear games are very faithful to the its roots.
The graphics are BLAH as its a goddamn 1980`s 2D game,its audio is typical,but the story and gameplay on to bad.
In the game as Snake you are not to be seen by an enemy guard,or else he will call his comrades to give you a hard time.You can use stealth,although its hard for a birdseye view game its still good to use.
Its canonical sequel-Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake,which is also included in the MGS3:Subsistence package,is a much better game than MG1,its a TRUE improvement.
So if you want to try MG1 and MG2:SS and you have a PS2,by all means buy Metal Gear Solid 3:Subsistence,which you also get Online and the Snake Eater game.MGS3:Subsistence is 30$,cheaper than usual new games.
