From the Manufacturer
Since its inception, the Metal Gear franchise has been one of the most successful game series on any console receiving worldwide recognition and praise. The franchise that pioneered the stealth action genre is back with Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection includes three classic Metal Gear games:

Metal Gear Solid

  • Lightly armed and facing an army of foes, Snake must avoid firefights in order to survive.
  • If Snake is discovered, he can utilize advanced weaponry, ranging from silenced pistols to ground-to-air missiles.
  • Enemies react to sight and sound.
  • State-of-the-art graphics: Textures, transparencies, models and explosions.
  • Suspenseful, gripping story with multiple endings for a truly cinematic experience.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
  • 350+ VR missions and 150+ alternative missions.
  • Play through 5 "Snake Tales" levels involving Solid Snake.
  • Skateboarding mode lets you explore the Big Shell as Raiden or Snake.
  • Utilize stealth and infiltration methods, such as diving somersaults, hanging from ledges and using disguises.
  • Fully interactive environments- bullets pierce steam pipes, smoke reveals laser beams and wet shoes leave footprints.
  • Powerful musical score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Armageddon, The Rock)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
  • Relive history as the cold war and geo-political landscape change.
  • Outsmart enemies with camouflage, close-quarters combat, stalking, interrogating, climbing, hunting and treating injuries.
  • Pit yourself against an environment where traps catch enemies and prey, threats lurk in the shadows, and noise alert predators.
  • Epic musical score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Armageddon, The Rock) and immersive Dolby Prologic II surround sound.
 
Customer Reviews for  'Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection'
 
Great Pack
Now with MGS 4, having this is a must have, if you haven't played them before you can get all 3 games at a cheap price, just like DMC series. Even if you just want to have them for your collection.
 
Brings back old memories
This is the best collection series you can buy for the price of one, because these games are hard to find anywhere else. The collection features: MGS 1, MGS 2 Sons of Liberty, MGS 3 Snake Eater, in which MGS 1 & 2 have Substance part of the game.
 
Great way to find out storyline
I've been reading all of the reviews posted here, and there seems to be a lot of complaints regarding not having the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 disc. I understand that all of you die hard gamers out there were seeking this as part of the bundle; however, I would like to know if you are such hard core fans then why don't you have a copy of the originals already? I purchased this set as a means to understand what's going on in MGS4, since I already had the PS3 Metal Gear Bundle.

I believe that for those like me who want to understand the storyline a little better and get caught up this is a great bargain. Sure there are always going to be complaints, but for the price you really can't beat this. I was going to have to buy and find all of these games separately anyways, since I had never played the series until MGS4... so I was very happy that they boxed them in a set and priced it at $29.99 (not to mention free shipping on Marketadvisory).

If you guys have spent a lot of time playing Metal Gear Solid 4, then going retro back into the 80's is probably going to seem a bit primative anyways. Reminds me of the old NES Contra days lol. I think that the first Metal Gear Solid included is as retro as I'm willing to get in this series because of the drastic changes in cinematics and graphics. Overall, I recommend this set.
 
3 Games, for the price of one?
Yup! The first 3 Metal Gear Solid games in one package for $30 - and you can buy these 3 separately for 20 each! Not to mention the MGS2 here is SUBSTANCE which is a very rare find for the PS2 - I've tried looking for it on eBay and people would still spend around $40 to buy it used...well I got Substance in a 3-pack for $30 TOTAL! You'll also get MGS1 still the PS version with 2 discs (unchanged from the original game), and MGS3 "Subsistence" without disc 2 (the only downside) but it's still worth it all even if you're just missing one of these games. I was just missing MGS3, and wanted MGS2 Substance, and I'm happy with my purchase!
 
Awsome collection
Great collection. The only thing is; even though they have MGS2 substance and MGS3 subsistance, they don't have the bonus disks for either game. But that aside, great games that are well worth the money.
