An incredibly important piece within video game history that sets the stage for future masterpieces within Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3. As Metal Gear's first 3D iteration, introduced on the first PlayStation, it simply does not feel like a PlayStation 1 game save for the antiquated controls: the story, the graphics, the sound, and use of in-game gimmicks tied to controls and the PlayStation itself all made the game feel like a glimpse into the future of what video games could be like. The game moves quickly, and the pacing struggles through a few sections of retreading ground from earlier in the game, but the world is chock full of secrets and hidden details to keep you locked in all the way through the story.
