    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metal Gear 2:
    We take control of snake a character with a lot of personality and also, we see for the first time Raiden another of the characters, more emblematic of Metal gear.
    Gameplay:
    We have at our disposal an arsenal for enemy leaders and various actions.
    Soundtrack:
    That very remarkable work in this band sounds impersive and electronic dyes fit very well.
    Metal gear 3:

    Villains. The battla against them is simplente the cuspide of this saga. The fact that in the end we have to fight against our "teacher" and the music that is totally immersive, from the same to the esencario is one of the best battles against boss that played.
    Gameplay:
    We have the same base as the previous ones but the fact of being in the jungle, allows us to kill animals, etc. it is very well incorporated.
    Soundtrack:
    Soul / Jazz melodies that are very memorable.
    And the ports, work fine . The best port of the vita.    … Expand

    This is one of the best games on the Vita right now. Two great games with great storylines, and solid gameplay. If you are getting a PSVita, this should be one of the first games you get.

    Now this is how you re- released a game; MGS HD Collection is fantastic on PS Vita. As the game runs and plays great with some minor flaws like control issues, other than that is Wonderful, The cut-scenes are HD Remade and everything works perfectly to play on the go on the PS Vita.

    Who decided to remove Peacewalker from this collection? Such a lust for revenge? WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?! They played us live a damn fiddle! They're pretty good!

    What you do get however are great ports of MGS 2 and 3. It's unfortunate that MGS 1 wasn't included into the mix though to help set up the story for 2.

    As I have yet to play MGS3, this review will only cover MGS2. I will edit this article once I've beaten MGS3.

    How is it possible to both love and hate a video game? Hate is a strong word, perhaps, but there were times while re-playing MGS2 that made me furious with frustration... a frustration that would, minutes later, be replaced with the satisfaction of an interesting cut scene, or from having successfully traversed entire sections of the game without being detected. Hate, love, hate, love. But mostly love.

    [Graphics]
    There's no arguing that the game looks beautiful on the Vita's screen. Despite the Big Shell's overall drabness, it still manages to fill the screen with interesting and engaging visuals that pop with clarity from its high-resolution makeover. The cut-scenes are very enjoyable, with hollywood-level editing and camera work, and the character models have just enough detail to be able to read subtle facial cues and body language, which is impressive for a game that was released in 2000-2001.

    [Sound]
    Sound has always played a key role in MGS games, with a powerful and engaging electronica/symphonic soundtrack (with a bit of jazz thrown in at the end of the game), great sound effects, and the heart-stopping noise that happens when Raiden or Snake is discovered by the enemies. My only gripe is that the voice acting ranges tremendously between excellent to laughable, and when it's bad, it manages to pull you away from the immersion of the game and the story.

    [Story]
    Most of Raiden's communications take place over the radio codec with his Commanding Officer, Snake, or Rose, his girlfriend. Most communications are more than enjoyable, giving the player insight into missions and the complex back story that takes place on Big Shell and in the MGS universe at large... but then there's Rose. Rose is the pure definition of annoying girlfriend/boyfriend who nitpicks at the most asinine subjects, distracting Raiden (who happens to be on a life-threatening sneaking mission, btw) with her personal hangups, jealousies, accusations of him cheating, and all kinds of other nonsensical overly-dramatic BS that just make you roll your eyes. Raiden is a trained murderer, a secret agent and blackops specialist, he hasn't the time for your sh*t, Rose.
    The good thing is that you can easily skip these annoying and unfortunate conversations, as they have very little bearing on the story itself.

    That aside, the rest of the story is actually quite fascinating, and it really opens up near the end of the game. Lofty philosophies about defining reality for the self, what it means to have a self, information in the modern digital age, all mixed into a tactical sneaking game. It's quite wonderful to see a game's story not pull any of its punches in regards to throwing complex and thoughtful ideas at its audience.
    The story makes playing in bed before sleep enjoyable and relaxing. You can expect 10-15 minute story driven conversations and cut-scenes between bouts of action, and these help maintain the pace of the story along the way. It's quite awesome, actually.

    [Gameplay]
    When I say love and hate, it's mostly regarding the now dated controls and gameplay that MGS2 offers. While fun, hectic, and very challenging, the gameplay is marred, even crippled at times, by a confusing and unintuitive control scheme that prevents quick and instant reactions to battle situations. You can't move while in first person mode, the button layout is a confused mess, you often find yourself crouching and laying prone when you should be running like hell or firing at enemies. It requires a lot of precision, and while it is functional (I did beat the game and not walk away, after all), I felt like they could have improved upon it while updating the graphics and sound for the HD remake. I think they could have included a FPS mode to help take down enemies, and I think the game would have benefited from a better crouching button layout.

    Battles with the enemies, or sneaking past them, can be as fun as they can be anger inducing. The Camera is quite unforgiving, even designed to catch you at times. Moments like these can be prevented and force you to think on your toes. In fact, many situations in the game force you to think outside of the box to solve clever and very satisfying puzzles, such as having to use the sniper rifle to take out explosive control boxes along a bridge, with the control boxes being hidden by clever distractions. Such mini-games exist throughout, and are arguably the best part of the game. The boss battles are fast and satisfying as well, skirting a line between hard and doable. Each scenario forces you to take advantage of your equipment and skills, ensuring that the game never gets repetitive, even as you run back and forth between Big Shell’s sections.

    [Overall]
    This is a classic game whose flaws only serve to act as a friendly reminder of how far we've come in terms of gameplay.    … Expand

What you do get in the collection is two of the best games of the previous generation, remastered in stunning HD and redeveloped specifically for the Vita. The controls while not as comfortable as a PS3 controller are very well implemented and the use of touch mechanics is intuitive rather than tacked on and - unlike many "touch" games - work to bring you into the game and all this helps you get as immersed as if you were playing on a console.

    Every thing is there. the music, the dialogue, the action the incredible cut scenes. Its even more gorgeous than it was on the PS2 and its in the palm of your hand. It might not be the kind of pick up and play game you want from a handheld but if you let it suck you in there is no better way to play these two games.    … Expand

Graphics: Graphically the games are just find - MGS 3 HD may have more visual fidelity out of the package but overall there is enough polish here for it to be called and 'HD' edition. 7.5
    Gameplay: The game plays just as fantastically as it does on any console excellently. The only irritant I had in the conversion to the PSV was the fact that to do the chin ups in MGS2 I had to get finger cramps from having to pinch in and out repeatedly on the rear touch pad. Other additional touch controls ass little to the experience, however they are not all useless as the peeking around the corner with the rear touch proves good when trying to sneak around. Whilst MGS3 may be a technically better game in most ways for new comers it is definately advisable that MGS 2 should be played first as it is an easier access point and there is a lot of fun from various modes packed in with 2 that are absent from 3. 9.0
    Presentation: The menus and UI are generally well thought out and fit the vita system quite well especially the new mini-touch menus for choosing weapons and items when traversing around the map. 8.5
    Lasting Appeal: There is enough to do between the games and they fit well for the handheld with their length. You might get around 20 hours gameplay between the two games - which both have seperate trophy sets to boot. Not to mention MG1 and MG2 are included in the MGS 3 HD package so there is enough to do in the game for it to last a while. 9,0
    In conclusion whilst the HD edition on Vita is fantastic in most aspects there are some problems at times with the controls and the abscence of Peacewalker HD gets rid of the online aspect getting rid of potentially 10 more hours of fun roughly.    … Expand

While it doesn't feel so accessible and easy to understand it still play, it feels great to play it and is still tense. A quick over view on the games. But you get the idea.

    MGS3 is even better. Even by today's standards it looks good! Especially here in its HD glory. It has more bare able cutscenes but also some of my fondest boss battles of all time.
    It is also a long game. In fact considering you're paying under £20 you're getting great value as there is easily 30+ hours of play time here in the main story lines alone. Outside of the main game both games include a wealth of content. Likely to keep you going for months.

    If I was to complain about one thing - other than the annoying exclusion of Peace Walker from the console copy - its that it's not the most portable friendly game and I often find myself having to pause on cutscenes (or I'd miss my stop!!).

Both of these games are here in their entirety (albeit a few missing game modes as veterans say). The story mode lasts about 12-13 hours for each game. Plus the fact that it's highly replay able and this game will easily last your around 30 hours. They both play well and use touch controls rather well. Most of the gestures are used with the rear touch pad which isn't a plus in my opinion, but works. Overall, I'd say this is a must buy for the Vita especially if you haven't played these before.… Expand

    The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is an absolute wonderful port that in someways is better than its PS3 brother. With stunning graphics and the great touch controls, it's almost perfect. Despite Peace Walker not being included, it would be a shame if this game wasn't in every Vita owners collection.

    If you've never played any of these two games and have a PS Vita, then this collection is almost obligatory.

    If you haven't played these before, the console release is for you. For super fans, the Vita version is still highly enjoyable. [Sept 2012, p.75]
