    PS1 has a huge number of great and masterpiece games and the first MGS, if not the best game on PS1, is definitely in the top 3, this is a great action movie that everyone should go through.

    Best game ever. Simple as that. The story and the gameplay for that time is just unbelieveable.

    Capolavoro, pietra miliare dei videogame.
    Trama splendida, personaggi memorabili.
    Giocabilità e grafica alle stelle per il periodo in cui è uscito.

    Кодзима такой Кодзима. Согласны? Пафос, киношность, юмор в серьезных моментах и гениальность всего происходящего. Все это присуще играм Кодзимы. MGS стал вроде его первым таким крупным опытом в кресле геймдизайнера. Справился же он с этой работой просто на ура.

    Simplemente un videojuego revolucionario para su epoca e incluso hoy en dia, se conserva muy bien pese a todos los años que tiene encima. Una narrativa y jugabilidad exquisitas, rejugable varias veces, las misiones VR y mucho más ofrece esta obra magna, la cual merece considerarse uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, por no decir el mejor.

    The guards recognize your footprints. This is one of the first things the game shows.
    The possible interactions in this game were outstanding 20 years ago.

    Except for the graphics, the game has aged pretty well and is playable even without nostalgia glasses. Truly a genre defining game.

    It's an epic game which made a revolution in game development and gameplay.
    Only one minus for this game it's camera view.

    This game is a masterpiece. After playing it, I understand why everyone says it was so good, it was very ahead of it’s time. If you haven’t played it, and are thinking about skipping it, don’t. Even though it’s 25 years old, it really doesn’t feel that dated. The boss battles can be hard, but are very rewarding to finish

    Overall: 10/10
    MASTERPIECE

    A cinematic classic. [Feb 2003, p.97]

    It is literally full of those 'classic' moments that are all too rare these days. Whether it's the first time your footprints are discovered, the first time you perform a stealth kill, finding out the identity of the 'Ninja', solving the method of defeating Psycho Mantis, obtaining the camera and seeking out your first 'ghost'... there are so many classic memories.
