- Les Enfants Terribles
- I will not review each game as that would take quite a chunk out of my life and because I decided to review this package as a whole.
This great package contains Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.
If you haven't played ANYTHING metal gear solid-related then this is your chance to do so, and prepare for the gigantic title that is Metal Gear Solid 4.
This is perfect for anyone missing a few titles from the series as it's currently very low priced (I got it from a seller here at about [...]). And getting all 3 titles for that is, well, a steal.
Yes, it does not come with ALL the nifty bonus discs that compromise either MGS 2 or 3 but really, if you just want to have the core MGS experience in all its glory, then get this package.
Note: MGS 1 comes in original Playstation 1 discs, fyi.
I don't think konami is stealing our money as some have said, they're LOSING money selling this package. Just search for MGS 1 on ebay, easily it'll net [...] bucks BY IT SELF. Here you get all 3 for [...] bucks (give or take). So stop crying, pop in Snake Eater, and enjoy this incredible saga. - 2008-11-23, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- 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. - 2008-10-18, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
