MGS, then MGS2, and then MGS3.

MGS2 then MGS then MGS3
Manchester United 2008-09 Season - Trophies & Records
Thats a MASSIVE toughie....
MGS1 started it all for me, amazing story, moving characters.... nostalgia...
MGS2 Didn't hate Raiden, but he was no snake... but... DOGTAGS....
MGS3 I loved the boss fights, and I thought the camo system was amazing :x
Crap > MGS2 > MGS
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.
MGS3, MGS, MGS 2.
Three was great and had so many twists in the story. MGS is a classic in it self. It reignited a franchise that hadn't seen daylight since the NES. MGS2 had a weird but interesting story but was not as good as 1 and 3.
MGS3>MGS>MGS2. Honestly MGS3 is the best because that ending is one of the best in MGS history. It is one of the best in video game history.

Its tough, but overall MGS 3. MGS 2 had the best story, but the gameplay in MGS 3 and the likeableness of the story by everyone push it over the top.
I honestly didn't like MGS that much because I played MGS2 first and could never get over the terrible aiming system. In hindsight though it was a pretty good game, but the other two are better.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
MGS 3 > MGS
The game is awesome and that ending was just epic
Never touched the second

I choose Metal Gear Solid because it's like the classic one. However, MGS3 would tie it for sure through the cut-scenes and the change in gameplay.
MGS2 wasn't bad, it just took a few times through to really grasp everything in the story..... Lastly, don't even get me started on Twin Snakes (despite not including it due to it being a remake not done by Kojima).
i got the essentail collection, and mgs2 substance is pretty good, and i finally got past the level where your on the boat and those russian guys take it over. but out of the 3 mgs3 takes it all but that might soon change after i finish the other games.
MGS3 because of the AMAZING ending.
MGS1 because it's the game that started it all.
MGS2 is last because it doesn't have anything notable that puts it above the other two. :P
