Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

(metal Gear solid 3)OMG just look at the cover.....At first I was thinking meh another port for Sony's handheld but when I played it I was like wow this is really a great HD remake. The details are there and the voice over is still topnotch.Gameplay: Same as it was when it was on PS2. I kind of wish you could aim and walk but no. I soon got use to the controls are about 2 hours. Also I heard it was touch controls but from DEFAULT all there was is touch the screen to change weapons or for healing. I was expecting to be able to look around or aim via swiping the screen. One thing that bugs me is when you're running and close to a wall he likes to lay against it. So when you're tryin to run from enemies and have a tiny ounce of health left than it sucks that you just died because Snake laid against the wall when all you was trying to do was run around the corner. I guess after playing so many other games when you have to press a button to hide behind a wall you forget about this game's controls.Graphics: Topnotch. Snakes look all clean and detaily. It was hard to tell this as ever a ps2 game.Overall: it's what the Vita needed in the current state. This game can hold off until August. Plus you'll probably end up playing it again just to explore other areas or mess around with the enemies and collect trophies so yeah this is one of those games that last over 2 months that's not a cheap rpg(Disgaea).

In this awesome package you get a selection of two games!Mgs2: sons of libertyAndMgs3: snake eaterThe gameplay is very fun sneaking and shooting! Hideo kojima thinks of everything in these games! An example is making snake actually dizzy by rotating him round and round in mgs 3. Which can be quite useful if you are poisoned or want to distract a guard. This is gonna be outdated in a few months when the master collection releases. But I’d recommend this game for the vita if you want to play mgs 2 and 3 on the go and only have a ps vita

First of all don't buy this game if you:*-Are a graphics wh@re.*-Don't have patiente.*-Are a kid.*-Don't like cinematics.*-Have no interest in the game story.If you meet any of the above just pass because you'll throw $40 to the trash and ruin the game score with an awful review. If you don't keep reading.I'll split the review in parts:***************************Metal Gear Solid HD Collection***************************Score: 1/10I feel scammed and upset because we paid as much as the PS3 users but we get 1 game less. Hideo Kojima excuse was that MGS: Peace Walker was already on PSP but if they didn't want to port it they could have just lowered the Vita version price or include a MGS: PW voucher, I don't blame Kojima tho, Sony's trying get every peny out of us they've become very greedy with the Playstation Vita.**************************Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty*************************Score: 9.6/10The good:[*]60+ hours of gameplay: This game has a lot of content and things to do, if you're not a trophy hunter or just not interested on anything else than finish the game it will probably give you about 10 hours but if you want to complete 100% of the game you'll get more than 60 hours of fun.[*]Good graphics: Graphics are better than any PSP game and even when there's not actual remastering it looks beautiful on the Vita's OLED screen.[*]Good story: The story is really good it has a lot of turns specially when you're about to finish the game the things starts to turn really weird (I still have goosebumps everytime I get there) and when you finish the game you'll be like "WOW WTH, I HAVE TO PLAY MGS 3 RIGHT NOW!"[*]A lot of fun wtf stuffs: This is one the things I love about this game, details, this game has tons details and things like you can use adults magazines to distract guards, you can see ghosts, guards playing rock-paper-scissors, use boxes to move around the facilities through the conveyor belt in the plant chapter, take photos of the pictures of girls wearing bikini and send it to Otacon and watch his face or play with yourself, see marines in underpants and a lot of other things that I wont metion because I dont want to ruin your experince.The Bad:[*]First person view is horrible (VR Missions): First person view in the VR Missions is horrible it's like play Counter-Strike with the mouse and the arrows instead of WASD, it's so frustrating. This only affects alternative missions (VR Missions) so don't worry about it.[*]FPS drop: Sometimes the fps drops under 20-30 most of all when you're using the Stinger but most of time the game runs at 60fps.[*]Choosing items is annoying and the screen ends all smudged: You have to use your fingers to choose the items so if you have big fingers you'll cover items names and it takes about 1 second to choose it so if you want to make a fast switch you wont be able to, also the screen ends all dirty because you have to constantly touch the screen.This game needs a lot of patiente if you're a newcomer, I deleted it 4 times before giving it a real try and now I love it, I've spent about 70+ hours playing it and I still have things to do, this game it's a diamond, most of games nowadays are really short (about 3-4 hours of gameplay) and have no content or it's on DLC's, MGS: Sons of Liberty has a lot of content and hours and hours of fun.****************************Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater***************************Score: 9.5/10The good:[*] You can choose between camera modes: There are two camera modes: 3rd person where you can use both sticks (YAY!) and normal (isometric) like MGS 2.[*] Outstanding graphics: The graphics are hugely improved compared to MGS 2.[*] Tons of items: There are a 29 weapons, 48 food items, 13 healing items and many other items.[*] New cure option: You can heal yourself using several healing items instead of eat a Ration like MGS 2.[*] New combat system: Theres a new hand-to-hand fighting system called CQC (Close Quarters Combat) and it allows you to drag enemies, interrogate, use them as shield and many other things that are not available in MGS 2.The Bad:[*] No replay value: While i've finish MGS 2 about 12 times, I dont think i'll play MGS 3 again, the game it's great but it didn't catch me like MSG 2.[*] Not so great story: MGS 3 destroyed my vision of Snake as a super hero, you'll understand why when you play the game. Also the story is plenty of bad japanese cliches it's freaking horrible.[*] FPS drop: no surprises here, most are during cinematics though.[*] Long saving times: It takes about 15-25 seconds to save the game.[*] First person view: Still the same as MGS 2 (not VR Missions).The game is great it has a lot of new things and it keeps the essence of MGS 2 but I found that I really didnt have fun playing it which didn't happend with MGS 2 but as I said before the game is great and that was just my experience, I have friends that love MGS 3 and find MGS 2 not that good, so it depends of every person taste.***************************************OVERALL**************************************I don't recommend anyone that owns a PS3 to buy this game because as I said before both versions cost the same but the Vita version has 1 game less, anyways if you don't have a PS3 this game is a must buy, the only bad thing I found about this HD Collection (besides the cost thing) is that there's not MSG 4 for Vita and I want to play it really bad.

These are two of the best Metal Gear games ever made, IMO. And they look absolutely amazing on the Vita! I've been a die hard MGS fan since the early days on the PS1. I've played them all. Being able to go back and play these two, is just absolute bliss. They've added touch screen controls for selecting your equipment and weapons which is pretty neat. It also comes with Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid 2 from the NES. It's in the menus.You'll notice in the review some people rate the game badly because of the control scheme. It isn't BAD, but I can totally see how someone new to the series who's just starting here may find it a bit awkward at first. DONT let that discourage you. You'll get used to it, and see just how amazing these two games really are.If you're a Metal Gear fan or looking to get into the series, and have the Vita, or thinking about getting a Vita, this is a must have! It's a no brainer. The story is amazing, the graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is really smooth! You can't go wrong here. I highly reccomend buying this!
