The Story in Snake Eater is the best story in Metal Gear by far.
Big Boss is the best character and best Snake in Metal Gear.
The final Boss fight is the best boss fight in Metal Gear.
EVA is best female lead in Metal Gear.
It has the best soundtrack of any Metal Gear.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was the highest point in the Metal Gear series. Even after beating MGS4 a months ago I still think this is the greatest Metal Gear and its gonna take a lot for it to be beaten in my eyes since MGS4 was close to but just not their even with all the crazy tech behind it. Snake Eaters story easily raped Guns of the Patriots story btw.
I just felt like praising the best Metal Gear Solid game in this thread because after replaying the Peace Walker trailer over and over again I cant wait to play as the one and only Big Boss again in the bad ass Cold War era.
NOTE - Yes I know its in gaming but this is more of a Metal Gear series thread then just these two games.........and Im to lazy to change it over.
