METAL GEAR & METAL GEAR 2: Solid Snake Reviews

Great classic games

old but good. pretty easy

Why no badass OG Metal Gear wallpapers for steam??? >:-(

For anyone not familiar, there is a part in Metal Gear 2 where a carrier pigeon has a message attached to it. That pigeon is on a roof and if you approach it without having rations in your hands, it will fly away if you get close to it. I've tried multiple times to get it to land, and as soon as I get close enough, it phases through solid objects and walls and is completely unreachable. Therefore, the game itself cannot be completed or finished until this bug is fixed. With that said, I cannot and will not recommend this game until it is fixed. Update: Contrary to what the zoologist tells you, you don't and actually can't approach the pigeon while scooting across the floor to make less noise. All you really need to do is have the rations in your hand, wait for it to land, then approach it. No button press is needed. Just walk at it and it'll trigger. So fucking stupid. Regardless, when it comes to an actual review, Metal Gear (the first one) is kind of crap. It's basically a maze. The only remotely good part about it was the boss rush. I'm still playing the second game, but it's already a significant upgrade to the first game, but that doesn't make it all that great. It's alright, but that previously mentioned pigeon section really soured my experience. The music is really good though. * Having to cycle through all of your key cards is kind of annoying. * How in the fuck is ANYONE supposed to figure out that the snake roaming around in your inventory is eating all of your rations. And on top of that, how the fuck is anyone supposed to figure out how to get rid of it?! This game REQUIRES a fucking guide to complete, I swear. * Oh my god, then there's those 3 oil spills or whatever, RIGHT AFTER you get the snake in your inventory. Guess how you get past those oil spill things. YOU NEED TO HAVE A SPECIFIC RATION IN YOUR INVENTORY! NOT JUST ONE! NOT TWO! BUT THREE FUCKING RARE RATIONS IN YOUR INVENTORY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FUCKING SNAKE JUST EMPIED THE FUCKERS OUT OF YOUR BAGS! FUCK THIS GAME!

If you've bought the MGS1 master collection bundle you'll also get this game included and I can only recommend you to give it a try since it's free anyways. (Only buy the bundle if you're actually interested in MGS1 though)

Terrible controls. Can't remap controls. No music volume control. After a few minutes of playing, I was stuck in some sort of menu loop with no way to get out of it. I can't fathom how devs made a shiny menu for the games and didn't think of the most basic quality of life features. Just a lazy, low effort money grab. Find another way to play these games.
