And solid it is. This is quite possibly the most anticipated console game of the year. Developed by a team of over thirty designers Metal Gear Solid is the culmination of eleven years of conceptual development and three years of intensive programming. The end result is nothing short of astounding.

Get ready to embark on the most dangerous mission yet. Play the part of Solid Snake as he infiltrates a nuclear weapons stockpile commanded by a group of crazy terrorists. Your job is to eliminate the terrorists and get out without being detected, all within 24 hours. It'll be the ultimate face-off with Liquid Snake!
Metal Gear Solid is the game you've been waiting for. It has amazing graphics and special effects that you need to see to believe. One special effect is when Snake steps into water and the polygons ripple and create waves, giving the illusion that the camera is really underwater. This is one of the best and most popular games developed for the Playstation.

One of the best video games ever produced (albeit short in length). Innovative and fun gameplay and incredible graphics.

MGS is a unique approach to action. The idea is to avoid combat and sneak around undetected. Hence this means much crawling in air vents and the like. Of course guards would never act like that in real life. Play it and you'll see.

The game that changed games forever.
