Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater - PlayStation 2

This is no big news, everyone knows how good this game is by now, it's about as close to perfect as a game can come. The story is amazing and the battle and survival mechanics are both fun and engaging. Hideo Kojima is a genius at telling stories through the medium of video games. The story is so deep and engaging, while still being that special brand of MGS silliness. This game and the bosses ultimate sacrifice made this the second game to ever bring me to tears. Just buy it.

Enough people have told you about the game. Here are a few tips that I have found while playing it. If you defeat the bosses, including the end boss, by taking out their stamina instead of shooting them to death you will be given a bonus each time (such as new cammo or special weapons). When battling helicopters, instead of using the huge mounted guns on the cliffs, use your sniper rifle and go for the pilot. Takes only one or two shots to take them out. When climbing up the looooong ladder, after defeating "The End", hold the up climbing button constantly and listen to the theme song that will be playing. The game is set up so that the instant she finishes singing the song, you are done climbing. Go through while trying to NOT to kill anyone. Sneak past the enemy, knock them out, or put them to sleep. If you do so, then when you fight "The Sorrow" the only ghost enemies you encounter will be the bosses you HAD to defeat (and the parrot of one boss, "The End"). Makes it much shorter and easier. While battling "The Sorrow" every man you killed will show up. Interesting enough, even HOW you killed them shows. If you cut them, it shows. If you shoot them in private areas, they show up clutching it while yelling "Do you know how this feels?" Save up your FAKE DEATH PILLS for the final boss. The first time fighting "The Boss" you will need around three. Go through once trying to 'hold up' every single guard you can find. You will be amazed at what many of them will drop, including more Fake Death Pills. I hope this helped you. If so, please show your support by voting. Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Let me be very clear. This is not a review of the game but rather the product. MGS 3 is still regarding as the best in the series and it is one of the most innovative video games ever made, clearly way ahead of it's time. I purchased this as a nostalgia item and I thought it would come sealed but it was not the case. The packaging is a reseal and didn't come in an official PS2 seal. This begs the question whether the item was used or not as I thought I was buying a new item. I couldn't see where it was written that this was a used item but it came in a seal and I expected it to be new.

Man this is such a great game! Smh The condition of the CD was great! I’m very content and happy! I got to relive my childhood memories! Thank you!

I once had this for the PS2, but someone took it. I was thinking to get the Trilogy pack that had come out recently, but after I heard about some very important moments in the game that were kinda... well... awesome... like the Dream Sequence, among other things, I kinda decided to whip out the ol' PS2, and enjoy the entirety of what this game had to offer. So I bought it again. Not much to say other than that this game is fricken awesome. And that if you like anything MGS, you are missing out on one of the best installments ever created for the franchise, if not THE best. Manual chamo, having to feed on the wild creatures and plants to survive, mending broken bones and wounds... you don't get much more survival than this, and it's great. Get this wonderful thing if you don't have it... get it NAO.

As a huge fan of the first MGS and someone who found MGS2 disappointing, I was unsure of MSG3 but knew I owed it to myself to give it a go. I came away completely astounded and rank it right up with MGS1, except for one fatal flaw which thankfully the Subsistence edition completely rectifies. Please, if you want to enjoy this game, get the Subsistence version. I personally played through the regular version and loved the game, but found the camera system just ridiculous. It's the same as MGS2's, which isn't terrible for that game, but in the larger outdoor environments of MGS3 the top down perspective will drive you crazy. You no longer have the convenience of a radar, and so you'll simply have to deal with looking around to detect guards and other dangers (along with some other for the most part useless recon devices you'll pick up along the way). Sure, you can look at what's ahead with the R1 button, but you can't move in the first person perspective and so you'll find yourself constantly switching between the two perspectives, feeling clunky as you look, move, look, and move again, going back and forth, instead of naturally looking and moving simultaneously. Guards have a definite advantage over you. Subsistence provides both the regular setup and a very nice third person, completely controllable floating camera that you control with the Right Analog stick that allows you to easily observe what's ahead and around you. It really lowers the frustration you'll encounter with the regular game's camera, which will get you killed unfairly. Plus, the Subsistence version has plenty of extras, like the retro Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 games, which are moderately fun. Aside from the camera issues, the game is a blast. Great story with awesome scenes, great set pieces of action, many nervously fun sneaking around moments, beautiful outdoor environments in steady 30fps, challenging and inventive bosses (the sniping battle with one boss in particular is unlike any experience in a game I've come across, but oddly pretty much all the bosses' stories or connection to the story are a throwaway), and a great overall experience from beginning to end. The beginning is a bit slow but the game really picks up towards the end and the final hours are a blast, save for one terrible ICO (one of my favorite games by the way) like part that is a pain, and the very end rocks. The story is much better and far less convoluted than MGS2s, making it much easier to follow. Playing through the game a couple of times helps of course. The survival mechanics are kind of cool but sort of distracting. Hunting for food is sort of fun, although a bit of a chore than anything else after a while, and utilizing camouflage to better sneak around is compelling. However, having to constantly go to the menu screen, which takes a bit to load into and out of (which is tiresome after a while) gets to be a chore. You use it to eat so to maintain stamina, to put equipment or weapons into your backpack or not, to address injuries (which could have been more streamlined), and to change your camouflage, and so as a result you'll be using it somewhat frequently. I wish they could have implemented the menu better, making it faster to use, perhaps making making it a pop up on the screen instead or something. Overall though, this is a memorable game with a cinematic quality that makes it stand apart from other similar games. If you're an MGS fan, you really should play it, it's a no-brainer. Just please get the Subsistence version. You'll be doing yourself a great favor, as it will take away from the inevitable and regular frustration the camera in the regular version will cause you.

comme tout les metal gear il est super est surpasse enormement de jeux mes ce jeux est zoner alor attention avant de lacheter

Love it, love it, love it. It’s the best in the series people, even if the camera is a bit jankie. That’s why we have subsistence and the HD collection. This is the classic though and will alway be the perfect if not awkward way to play in my opinion. Thanks for this and at a great price.

Ví una ganga y ni me lo pensé, articulo que encaja en cualquier colección de buenos juegos o metal gear, se agradece al vendedor el transporte agil.

This game is one of the greats of the PS2. The plot is very engrossing and takes you in right from the start. It takes place during in Cold War era Soviet Union. You control Naked Snake, a lone spy, tasked with rescuing a weapons scientist and assassinating his former mentor who has defected to the Soviet Union. Having played the previous 2 installments of Metal Gear Solid it was a pleasure to see what Revolver Ocelot was like in his youth and what kind of relationship he developed with Big Boss. The cut-scenes in this game are quite cinematic; They are all rendered with the game engine. Hideo Kojima really knows how to direct a game (interactive movie, some might argue). The only complaint I have with this game would be the fixed camera. But this isn't much of a problem in the improved version of this game, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, in which we get a choice between a full 3D camera or the regular fixed one. All in all this is a must-have for any PS2 owner.

Arrived in beautiful condition, no scratches on the disc, paperwork intact. Box is in peak condition, no cracks or wear. slight jacket damage due to being almost 20 years old.. otherwise immaculate shape. 100% score. Thank you for having this in stock at such a great price. This is one of the greatest video games ever made.
