This game is probably one of the best ps2 games ever in my view, the other games being Spartan Total Warrior, Freedom Fighters and Hit-man Blood Money. The game is perfect for many reasons such as graphics, controls, story and great characters, it is the pinnacle of ps2 gaming.
The story is about Naked Snake (Big Boss) who infiltrates Russia to rescue defecting scientist Sokolov who is developing the basis for Metal Gears, the Shagohod which is a treading tank which can launch ICBMs to intercontinental range, for it to do it though it needs three miles to give it momentum. The mission dose not go well though, Sokolov is kidnapped by Cobra Unit, which is compromised of The End, The Fear, The Fury, The Pain and The Sorrow each of their names taking their emotions from battle, The Boss also leads this group and later in the game you learn her greatest and last mission, it also turns out to be her greatest but heroic burden. I am not going to reveal to much about the plot as it's too long and too complicated, i loved the plot and it's worthy of an Oscar award in my opinion.
The game uses everything well, the graphics are pure amazing, the characters are well-developed, the controls are very responsive (the camera is not good though) and the story got me hooked from start to finish, the best set pieces are just great, for example The End boss battle and being chased by the Shagohod on a motorbike are legendary 10/10 it deserves 10/10 and it's getting it.
Hideo Kojima should be proud.
