Metal Gear Solid is a critically acclaimed series of stealth games created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. In the series, the player takes control of a Special Forces Operative (Solid Snake in most games) repeatedly facing off against the latest incarnation of the eponymous superweapon "Metal Gear"; a bipedal walking tank with nuclear launching capabilities. The series is famous for pioneering the stealth game genre, for its lengthy cinematic cut scenes, intricate storylines and its exploration of the nature of politics, warfare, censorship, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, loyalty, reality, subjective vs. universal truths and other philosophical themes. The series has accumulated great success, selling over 26 million copies.

The original Metal Gear, designed by Hideo Kojima, debuted in 1987 for the MSX2 computer platform in Japan and Europe. A heavily modified port produced by a different team was released shortly after for Nintendo's Family Computer in Japan and its counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), in North America and Europe. Konami then decided to produce a sequel for the NES, titled Snake's Revenge, which was also done without Kojima's involvement and released in 1990 in North America and Europe. One of the designers who worked on Snake's Revenge became acquainted with Hideo Kojima and asked him to do a "real Metal Gear sequel". Kojima accepted his request and began development on his own sequel, titled Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, released in Japan for the MSX2 in 1990.
After Metal Gear 2, Kojima worked on other projects (notably Snatcher and Policenauts) before directing his third Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Solid, which was released for the PlayStation in 1998. The success of Metal Gear Solid inspired a series of sequels and a prequel. Metal Gear Solid was followed by Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for PlayStation 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 3.
Expanded versions and remakes of the games were produced as well such as Integral, Substance and Subsistence. Several spin-off games were also produced and set outside the series' main storyline with the exception of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PlayStation Portable. "Metal Gear Solid Existence" has been officially trademarked by Konami in both Japan and America as of August 11, 2008. It is not yet known why this was trademarked.

The original Metal Gear Solid game was what got me into gaming. I've always loved everything about MGS, from the gameplay to the music. If you get a chance rent one sometime. They're great.


During the summer, when I'm bored Im usually playing MGS over Halo. There are days where I'll play the entire game in one day.

I have it on my iPod Touch, it sucks ;]

When it comes to Metal Gear, I am basically God. I played Metal Gear Solid, MGS2, and MGS3 at least 12 times each. Never played 4 though. =(

Beat MGS 1 - 4 on hardest difficulty

[Truth]

I played the one on ps1 and then played through most of Snake Eater ... and i just don't really like it.

Stealth games aren't really me.

The only stealth game i could ever get into was Thief: Deadly Shadows in the original xbox. That game fucking rocked.

10 of the aforementioned "12 times each" was on the hardest difficulty. Except for MGS 4. It's nice to see some other Metal Gear heads around, though. That game and Toonami were like top 2 in awesomeness when I was a kid.


So, who's your favorite boss?

When databases are merged sometimes this happens. Don't worry about it.

This series is in my opinion one of the best video game franchises to ever be released. Hideo Kojima is a genious and he would be my favorite game creator if only he didn't release his titles exclusively to the playstation brand.

I'm waiting for the 360 release
