"Liquid Snake"
Well I played Metal Gear Solid 4, and after I beat it I wanted to know more of the back story. I looked up Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection, for this offered $30 for all 3 games. This was perfect, no searching around everywhere buying separate overpriced games.

MGS1 was early PSX technology, it was one of the newer 3d games at the time. Like all MGS's it's mainly stealth gameplay. The enemy soldiers are the easiest of the MG series. It's a good introduction into the gameplay until later titles. Your main character is Solid Snake who has to rescue 2 hostages, but the mission becomes much more. He has to stop the Metal Gear, a weapon of destruction. The villians in this one as well as other Metal Gear's are strange and introduce you to their back stories along the way. You'll meet up with Meryl in the game, a lady soldier who helps you out at times. This game is actually my 2nd favorite MGS game after 4.

MGS2 has some mixed reviews, let's just say you won't play Snake the whole time. You'll also play as Raiden a new soldier being sent out to rescue the president, and prevent an explosion and environmental disaster on a water base. You do get the impression of him being a rookie, he complains at times, and seems to be learning with each new sitution. He's an ok character to me.

The thing I don't like in this game mainly for me is the base itself, it seems like your going back and forth in circles. Like go to Strut A and to Core 2, to Strut AB. You do this alot. The spy robot are also a pain, I prefered the cameras. Now the story is good, like the other MGS's. This is the least favorite game still out of the series, not good exactly overall but ok.

MGS 3 is the hardest out of all MGS's for me. I've died quite alot. You play Big Boss when he was younger, known now as the original Snake. You'll have a lot of enemies bunched together. It's a harder to stealth enemies. You have the added camoflouge in this game accordingly to the envirionment your in. For example dirt plantless environment, dark, forest, etc. The enemies are hard to see themselves, they take on the color of their environment. This game has the best story in my opinion, but it's hard and can be frustating.

The enemies in this are crazy as always, a guy with bees and a 100 year old sniper or some of them. In all the MGS's you get a radar, in this game you only get sonar. The sonar you have to click the R3 button, so it's tougher in this one. You can change the camera angle in this subsitence version, the older MGS 3 you couldn't. The camera change in this does help somewhat.

There's just no beating this deal. If your interested in even 1 MGS game, just get the whole pack it's $30 anyways. I'm glad I have the whole story line now, and going through them a second time should be easier. Remember some of them you get away less with stealth than others, so be wary. I really enjoyed this series.

"Outstanding Deal"
This is a great product if you are starting Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3 that is what I did and stopped 3/4 of the way through to go back play the other games so I would know all the references, and story line and have to say that now I know the full and whole story of the Metal Gear World and I am glad I do, plus you get all those hours of play for just a little money, the graphics are something many will find lacking in the first game but it was only psone it is not the cgi cut scenes of the Final Fantasy games but still very good overall. Buy this game if you want hours of fun for very little cost.

"Awesome"
Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection
VERY GOOD!! the only things I didn't like was that #1 didn't have improvesd graphics like I was hoping for and they only give out Disc 1 of MGS 3: Susistance but other than that it's great!!

"MGS Collection - Great for those who were intimidated by these games!"
This collection was a great way for me to get introduced to the MGS series of games! Since the first game I always thought that Metal Gear Solid games were just overhyped, but then my opinion changed and I decided to give them a try when I saw this...

Thanks for a great product! Nice, protective package with all the separate manuals and everything!

What our customer's say!

"great collection! for a low price!", All of this titles are being blockbuster on playstion there is not much to say besides you won't find it cheap it, you can find reviews in any game website. the only thing i will like to say is that no matter how old the MGS1 it is ...still being the best!

"Fast Shipping", Highly recommend buying from this seller! Package arrived a day earlier than estimated date! Looking forward to buying here again!!

"Good, but not "essential"", Included in this set are three exceptional games. As has been said far too many times, these games have "redefined the stealth genre". Of course, Metal Gear was about all there was to the stealth genre for years, so what this means is that they are highly improved sequels.

Now that I've brought up Metal Gear, it may be pertinent to mention to prospective buyers that Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake do not come in this packaged deal. It is a shame that they called this the "essential" collection while leaving out the first two games.

The other games are great though, and worth the purchase. Grab the two-disc special edition of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater if you want to play Metal Gear 1 & 2 though. Just don't go on calling this the "essential" collection.

"Frustrating Game for Casual Gamers!", OK I'm going against the grain a bit here, but honestly I grew up with the series and loved the originals from NES through PlayStation. However, if you are looking to jump into this game to play a few hours a week this is NOT the game for you! Half the game is stupid plot cinemas, and while the voice acting and graphics are above average it's not really as engaging as you would expect it to be. Furthermore, the controls are really frustrating, if you are used to X being enter for PS/PS2 and PS3 games then you have to get used to the O buttong being the default enter button...sounds simple enough but trust me it's frustrating. Also the close quarters combat mode, which is vital to a stealth game consistenly does not act the way you want it to. I'm still giving this 3 stars because even with all these annoyances I'm playing through because I'm stubbourn, plus it's actually a great deal with all these games under $30...but be warned, if you are a casual gamer this is not the game for you.

"MGS Collection", This is the best MGS collection I could ever ask for. It was EXACTLY like the orginal ps1 and ps2 versions. All I can say is that if you're a MGS fan, you should get this collection and play it for yourselves!

"All You Need - Almost", It is what it advertises: Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3.

There is nothing to complain about for Metal Gear Solid 1 or 2.

However, as many others have noted, Metal Gear Solid 3 is missing something. The original full game of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is there, with improvements (primarily in the controllable camera) from its second incarnation as Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. However, what the Essential Collection lacks is the second bonus disc that comes with Metal Gear solid 3: Subsistence. Buying Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence outside of this Essential Collection, you get to play the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 (2D games starring Solid Snake in his youth, providing you further insights into the world of Metal Gear) a bonus game called Snake VS Monkey, a few other less notable bonuses.

Not being able to play Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 was a let down, however, the three main games of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3 are in there. All three games are fun if you are looking for a stealth-heavy, cinematic video game experience.

If it isn't too much trouble, you should definitely buy all three separately for all the bonus features: Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. Do not pick up Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty or Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by mistake--those are the unimproved versions that lack the bonus features.

"GREAT GAME, GREAT STORY, GREAT EVERYTHING!!!!", First of all let me say that I got introduced to this games by first playung Metal Gear 4 for the PS3, so you can imagine, when I first played the last one, the story did not make a lot of sense, so my lovely wife got me his set as a gift, so I started frm the begining, as soon as the story in MGS1 started to unfold I got more interested in the games, as soon as i finished each game I started playing the next one, so as you can imagine I have been playing MGS games for a whole month with out stoping.

The game play is very similar for the three games, with the excpetion in the two view modes in MGS1 wich was developed for the PS1, but still a very good game. The second game introduces characters wich will appear in MGS4 and have very important roles in both games, and the gameplay is much more smoohter than the first. But the best of all is MGS3 wich explains the origins of Metal Gear, and the story has twist plots at every corner, so besides getting nervous during game the cutscenes with the story are OSCAR winning perfomances. The game play is superb, you get to change you camouflage as you need it get to different weapons, and have to use every corner to evade the enemy.

So, in conclussion, if you are a new player in the MGS series like me, I highly recomend this set, for the gameplay, story and value of all 3 games.

PLAY ON!!!!!!!

"The price is great.", Being that this is the essentials collection... there aren't any bonuses or extras that came with the other games. Which is fine by me... the games are what got me hooked in the first place.

"Metal Gear Essential Collection", This is a deal no one should pass up!
You get three great games for a real low price.
Classic Psone Metal Gear Solid.
Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance
And Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence!

Buyer beware of the only downfall of this deal. (Just my opinion)
Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence only comes with Disc 1.
If you want Disc 2 that has the 8-bit old school Metal Gear 1-2
then you have to buy the standalone Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence.

Other than that this is the best deal I have seen so far.

"Good buy, but a little disappointing.", Not the greatest bundle in the world, but still a good one. Although it comes with all-new packaging, the booklets inside are colorless, and the box holding the set is wobbly and thin when you take the cases out.

This package includes the original Metal Gear Solid for PSone, MSG2: Substance, and MGS3: Subsistence minus the second disc that came in the original Subsistence release. Although the online features for MGS3: Subsistence are no longer available, the second disc still had many good off-line features. This was a major let-down for me, as well as no Snake vs Monkey. They basically pressed a bunch more disc-ones from Subsistence to put in this bundle. Other than that, the games are great, as they always have been, and this is a good buy if you're missing them from your collection. MGS1 is now hard to find, and the other two, when bought individually, would cost around $30 or more in total.
