    Metal Gear Online? On the PS2? Surely it's crap! I admit, I didn't think it could be pulled off very well... but I'll happily eat my words, because it's bloody brilliant.

    This is the best offering of gameplay, extras and multiplayer that has come out in some time.

    Improving on one of the best games ever couldn't have been an easy job, but Kojima Productions was able to do it. They packed this director's cut of "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater", a thrilling and cinematic military stealth action game, so full of tweaks and extras, we wish our review scale went to 11.

    The amount of content spread across these three discs is truly staggering, and Persistence is a quick, pick-up-and-play online experience that offers tremendous variety. [Apr 2006, p.52]

    Even if this is your second, third, fourth, or even your fifth time playing the game, the new camera angle adds a lot of freshness to the single player campaign. Not just that, but the online multiplayer is really amazing and it is clearly one of the best the PS2 has yet to get on the service.

    With some of the highest production values seen in any game and more extras than you can shake a silenced tranquilizer gun at (all of which are on top of an amazing and improved single player game) result in a title that is easy to recommend and enjoy.

    With this new online mode, it's much easier to admit that you like Metal Gear Solid 3. [July 2006, p.93]

No es tan variado en misiones como el juego anterior y ni es tan drastico el cambio grafico, pero debido a su buen final o sus grandes Jefes Finales se le perdona que es un juego ligeramente mas limitado que el anterior.
    Como puntos negativo se puede decir que la escopeta esta muy OP, o que Volgin no me convence como villano, pero eso quita la calidad al juego.    … Expand
