This is one of the few games released before 2000 that still holds up well. the gameplay is fun and, while simple by today's standards and the gameplay of future entries in the series, is really fun. so detailed for a ps1 game and the voice acting is some of the best in the series. There isn't a single badly or goofily voiced line like would happen with many of the later games, and it feels grounded in comparison to the other games too. every twist and turn is exiting and mind boggling without being hard to follow like the later games in the series could be. I do prefer the other metal gear solid games, but this is still bloody incredible, especially for a game released in 98'.
