But if you didn’t get the chance to play a few awesome games before, who can argue with competent ports at a cheap price?įortunately for me, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection doesn’t provide much of a dilemma. So if you’ve already owned or played them once upon a time, it’s hard to justify recommending a re-buy. Most of the time they’re just ports with some obligatory Achievements/Trophies and a spiffy coat of paint that still isn’t enough to make it look good compared to what’s out there today. HD Collections are often a wonderful treasure trove for late-comers who missed great games the first time around, but they’re usually hard as shit to grade. And while it may be difficult to choose a favorite (*cough* MGS3 *cough*), as long as they’re all together you won’t have to. They’ve all got their quirks, but it’s a good family, and it’s got a damn fine pedigree. And the young punk who’s always out on the town, running with too many friends to keep track of and you wish that just once he’d call home to let you know where he is ( MGS: Peace Walker). There’s the brooding, emo middle child who started participating in anti-war protests to punctuate his crises of conscience ( MGS3). There’s the older kid who grew up too fast, got a hell of an education, and uses it to sound smart when he’s more often than not just spouting a lot of fancy words and random techno-babble ( MGS2). This collection, like any family, has a diversity of personalities. They may not be perfect and they may frustrate you with the choices they’ve made, but in the end you still have to love all of them. You ought to buy this for the Snake Beater achievement alone (get caught by Otacon “stimulating” yourself)…Ĭhoosing a favorite Metal Gear Solid is like choosing a favorite child.
