I played the original MGS3 and it is what got me to pay the series any mind. After playing MGS1 years after 3, I can honestly say I would have never continued the series if I had played that one first. It was just so clunky. I never played MGS2 but from what I get from general concensus, it was awful.

sure will, I have started now, I'm on Act 1!

@Destroyer_of_knights

oh I do dare to claim its the best game ever & I'll do that till the end of time!!!

Dude seriously WTF!!!!

You and everyone know that Nintendo is the only innovative company out there not only that but they are the only company in the world that can produce the best game ever, and it's not MGS4, only because it's not a Nintendo game, thus Zelda ocarina of time is the only game that can ever have the tittle "best game ever", you got it so now understand it and concede to Nintendo's will...it's inevitable...wii domination FTW!!!


How is Ocarina of Time the best game ever when its not even the best Zelda game ever?  That title goes to A Link to the Past, thnak you very much.   But MGS4 is still the best of all time so Darth keep preaching it buddy.

Actually, I would claim that MGS3 is the best game in the Metar Gear Solid series thus far.


The boss battles were so much better (both were amazing, but MGS3 had a few that were mind blowing).

Still, MGS4 is one of the best games ever, it deserves all the praise it gets.


MGS3 was a great game that is for sure, and the Boss battles were great. But maybe its because of how awe struck I was playing a MGS game in HD the first time, that makes me think MGS4 is better.  Oh well, it was a great series of games either way

I am playing in HD right now but the first time I beat MGS4 I was not. I love MGS3, but it deffinitly not the same calibre as 4. The game looks and feels perfect. The new gadgets are an amazing addition and create many different ways of playing through the game. The cut scenes are amazing (like every MGS game) and keep the player on the edge of the seat. Weapon customization adds an entire new realm that was never touched like this in MGS before. The different terrestrial zones that the game takes place in give it so much color. Last but not least, the story is simply the best. Snake goes out in serious style. I never though I'd see perfect conclusion to any video game story.

I couldnt agree with you more

Hmm never played mgs2 that's a shame. Mgs2 gets a lot of hate it doesn't deserve from fans who had just too high of expectations. I'm telling you that it was a fantastic play through. If anything it plays a lot better then mgs1 since the controls are improved greatly, plus the presentation is top notch. Any of the metal gear games is worth a play through regardless if one isn't as good. Honestly I finished mgs2 first then mgs1 before moving on to the next. I play half of mgs1 but lost the game and then mgs2 game out so I just played that and found it so good I went backwards to make sure I played all in the series. I hope this helps.

MGS3>MGS4?MGS1>MGS2

this is the balance of both gameplay and story. MGS3 edges MGS4 out as the best due to sheer perfection in story telling and the greatest boss fight there ever was. Nothing in any game can compete with the rush you feel when facing THE END. Nothing competes with the white flower meadow where you face off against THE BOSS in all white. These are the best boss fights I have EVER experienced and by far the best of all time. I would even put them above my beloved Safer Sephiroth fight in FFVII. The characters are so alive in this game in particular it was astounding.

What holds MGS4 back is not the gameplay for it is far superior to anything in the genre, let alone the series. It is the overly long cut scenes that Kojima seemingly could not help himself but put in. I was completely satisfied with the ending all the way till The secret one came up and they just kept on talking.........for sooooooooo looooong. He seemingly kept jumping back from the face of death just to give ANOTHER dying statement. I could have done without the Raiden/Rose thing as well for it was corny. These scenes kept MGS4 from edging out MGS3 as the best.

MGS1, maybe it is because I played it way after it's prime, but it was not as epic to me as MGS3 was. The controls and gameplay were hit and miss for the most part. I really hated the over head view camera.

MGS2: I think we all can agree this was definitely the low point of the series...

MGS4>MGS2>MGS>MGS3

Also, you would not have had the over the head camera problem with MGS1 if you played it back when it came out. Back then we had not seen MGS2 yet so we didn't know what we were msising lol.

Hey MGS fans, how about some nice 10/10 review on gamefaqs for MGS4 ? Some guys recently submited some 3/10 and 4/10 reviews and got the score down from 9.3 to 9.1...which i'd say is pretty unfair.
I tried like 6 times to submit a review but every time it was rejected, i dunno why as my spelling was perfect according to the spell check and my content pretty coherent, even though i am not an english speaker.

Anyway, if you guys got the time, score some points for MGS4, it deserves it !

( i just finished viewing the wedding scene, God it always leaves me mushy ^_^ time for my 1 year anniversary boss battle :D)

cheers !
