One word wraps up Metal Gear Solid 3 perfectly: perfection. This game is the closet one can get to having a perfect video game. MGS 3 is in a league of its own compared to any other game out there. It's beautifully written, brilliantly voiced, and stunningly composed. This game truly shows that video games are a form of art. To the critics who say otherwise, I have one question for them, have you ever played Metal Gear Solid?
Metal Gear Solid 3 takes place in the 1960s in the midst of the Cold War. Once again, you resume the role of the hero Snake, but this time, it's not the Solid Snake we've all come to know and love. No, instead, it's Naked Snake, or, as the name you might know him by, Big Boss. Yes, that's right, Solid Snake's father. But, have no fears, David Hayter supplies his voice for Big Boss as well, and the young Big Boss is an exact duplicate of Solid Snake.
Big Boss is sent in on a mission to retrieve the famous rocket scientist Nikoali Stepanovich Sokolov who is working on a top-secret project for the Soviet Union. After you retrieve him though, the real story begins. While Snake is escorting Sokolov out of the jungles of Soviet Russia, his mentor, The Boss, betrays him, and the United States, and steals two miniature nuclear shells as a "gift" for her new host, Coloner Volgin. Colonel Volgin then deploys a miniature shell at a design bureau, and now Russia thinks the U.S. is at fault. Snake now must head back into Russia, and prove the U.S.'s innocence in the matter. Throughout Snake's journey, he runs into a cast of bizarre characters, and a familiar face to the MGS series, Revolver Ocelot. Except this time, Ocelot is about 40 years younger.
The story of MGS 3 proves to be the best one yet, filled with twists and turns, as Snake unravels a conspiracy, and more details to the ever-epic storyline of Metal Gear Solid. Once you finish the game, you'll stand up, applaud, and ask yourself, "Can a game get any better than this?"
Well, I guess we'll have to wait 'til MGS 4 to answer that question.
