Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid follows government agent Solid Snake as he infiltrates a secret nuclear facility seized by terrorists. The PlayStation 3 entry combines a cinematic story with a tense mission in which survival depends on remaining unseen.

Gameplay and features: Move through guarded areas, study enemy sight and sound, and use equipment carefully while completing objectives with limited resources. Stealth, reconnaissance and deliberate positioning are more important than constant firefights, while varied weapons support different situations. Reading the environment is the key to turning a dangerous infiltration into a controlled operation.

Story and identity: The mission explores nuclear tension, genetic fate and the cost of conflict through a tightly directed adventure with multiple possible outcomes. Developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and published by Konami, the game defined a landmark stealth style for the series.
