Now you can play Peace Walker the way it was always meant to be played whether you choose the 360 or PS3 version, you’ve got a full-fledged online service at your fingertips to hook up and play co-op or versus-not the sub-par service that made Blake Hulk-level angry whenever he’d pound his head against a boss solo because he wasn’t able to connect with one of the other few PSP players around the country. I didn’t have the chance to play the original Peace Walker, but I heard enough of Blake’s hootin’ and hollerin’ back in the day when he played it to know that the PSP was never the ideal platform for it. This one’s the real pièce de résistance, despite its humble handheld origins, as it’s the only game made truly better by the port. Monkey, sadly, didn’t make it in.īut if you really want insane amounts of content, look no further than Peace Walker. The collection stumbles a little bit, however, because it’s not all the bonus content that was on the original games- MGS2’s skateboarding and MGS3’s Snake vs. Whether it’s the staggering number of VR missions in Substance or the wonderful inclusion of the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 in Subsistence, these games definitely have much more content than their age lets on. Thankfully, though, they’re the enhanced Substance and Subsistence versions of the game, which means an Arsenal Gear-load of extra content beyond just the story mode. They’re superb single-player stealth titles with a kick-ass, if not overly convoluted, story to go along, but they’re still basically the same games that came out years ago. Besides the graphical update, there’s nothing especially noteworthy about them. Let’s get MGS2 and 3 out of the way first.

Not only are you getting two outstanding PS2 era classics, the third offering seals the deal by dishing up an experience that surpasses the original because of the new platform, so much so that you might want to get it even if you own it already.
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.
