Looked great, the setting was perfect and the boss battles were comfortably the best in the series. It's full of all the usual nonsensical jabberings that make any Metal Gear game so enjoyable too. Sits only just behind MGS as the series highpoint.

a tonal masterpiece, to say nothing of its achievements in gameplay. whether this is better than Sons of Liberty depends entirely on your propensity for post-modern masturbatory indulgence (I adore it) but as a crowd pleaser, little challenges Snake Eater. the ending is a bombshell, and it's a shame the series didn't conclude with that salute. it says everything that needed to be said.

The story is pretty dumb, but goddamn was this game creative in its gameplay and boss fights. While it doesn't quite feel like past games, the atmosphere is terrific and there is a lot of ways you can fuck with the guards or get past obstacles. Although The Boss' motivations are convoluted and asinine, the cast is likable and full of personality. Even The Boss herself is a cool villain, despite her non-sensical intentions. MGS3 deserves its status as one of the best games in the PS2 era.

The camera is terrible and almost ruined the game, but fortunately the Subsistence edition fixes this. It's not hard to see why it's considered the pinnacle of the franchise, even though I don't share that sentiment - I did not care for The Boss at all, and found her big twist incredibly contrived. Volgin was too generic of an "evil big bad" too. But on the plus side it has the most likable supporting cast of the series.

The cutscenes are worse than any David Cage film simulator but the gameplay's good. I really hate the endless cutscenes. Fuck you, Kojima.

Probably the Metal Gear Solid entry I struggled the most to like. Interesting environments, enemies, and of course, that classic MGS storyline, but heavily bogged down by baffling gameplay elements such as the camouflage meter and medical treatment system (painful to use).

Bad camera and the controls are begging to be updated... but what a thrill.

Arguably the best MGS but it's not my favourite. They enhanced everything great about the series and before 5 came out it was probably the best from strictly a gameplay perspective. 4 is still my baby because of the story but this came close to it in a lot of ways. Switching out your camo was a little tedious but it still added a lot, the story was brilliant, amazing boss battles... basically just did everything that makes the series fantastic.

Hideo Kojima's tactical espionage game with jungle setting. Amazing sneaking gameplay and cold war theme. MGS Saga starts with Snake Eater, Naked Snake and The Boss. "Loyalty to your country or loyalty to me?" -The Boss circa 1964

It might not quite reach the highs of the first two MGS games in terms of spectacle but it does two things better. First, the gameplay is leaps and bounds better than MGS and Sons of Liberty. Secondly, Snake Eater did something that I never thought an MGS game would make me do: actually give a damn about Snake as a character and get emotionally invested in the batshit crazy side-characters these games are so known for.

A thoroughly enjoyable romp, with the great plot, set pieces and wacky characters you'd expect from Kojima. Frustrating controls, especially when it comes to combat, as well as some really hammy acting let it down somewhat, however. (HD Collection version)
