Metal Gear Solid  Konami (Konami;Tose)1998And 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.
[Haoie]***The game that changed games forever.

Final Fantasy VIII  Square1999Ultimate character customization "Junction system" Junction system is G. F. (Summoned Beast, Guardian Force) is a system that strengthens abilities by junctioning items (other than items such as items and weapons) to characters.
In addition, remember the junction abilities (attack power junction, defense power junction etc.), you can further enhance the character by junctioning magic (Thunder, Fire etc.) to its abilities. In other words, you can customize characters indefinitely by combining character × abilities x magic.***Final Fantasy VIII, the sequel to Squaresoft's first PlayStation RPG, doesn't feature any of the characters from the original, but it does continue to deliver great gameplay. The story this time centers on Squall Leonhart, a young man in the military who is soon pulled into an adventure that spans the globe. Along the way, other characters can be recruited, ranging from the always-hyper Selphie to the egotistical Irvine. Nobuo Uematsu, who has composed the music for every Final Fantasy game, again scores the music. Featuring 3D characters and pre-rendered backgrounds, Final Fantasy VIII is one of the most impressive looking games ever.***

[27]***FF8 is the most controversial from 7, 8 and 9. This is due to the radically different gameplay system. Examples of this include enemies that level with you, requiring component parts to make new weapons, and junctioning magic to make attributes higher. Personally, I loved it.
[Haoie]***This is, without a doubt, the worst of the final fantasies. No armor, No shopping for weapons, An extremely annoying system for aquiring gil... These all together could be overlooked, even with the so-so graphics.
The Real Killer, though, is the main character. Squall is nothing but an uncaring, insensitive, pompous, conceited, jerk. The fact that he 'gets better' later in the game doesn't matter... If you don't want to get there with him in the first place.
