Default Metal Gear Solid 3 gets reviewed by IGN

10 Presentation
There are several new things to do in the game, but all are easy to navigate. Customizing the backpacks also helps out the in-game action by speeding up the changes.

10 Graphics
As good as it gets on the PS2 with individual blades of grass, ropes on a bridge that can be shot out and tons of other details scattered all over the place. Characters fare just as well with some det

10 Sound
Quality voice acting as always in all aspects and a full range of sound effects that populate the world with noises in the Dolby Pro Logic II setup.

9.6 Gameplay
It's the best iteration of the stealth espionage action seen to date with a world of options available to players. The lack of camera views is understandable, but still a bit disappointing.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
It's easy to see people playing through at least twice if not many more times than that. Different strategies and the frog hunt are the carrots on the stick for replayability here.

9.6 OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)





"you best be buyin a PStwo, now"

PS2 Holiday 2004 OWNAGE

GTA:SA 9.9
MGS3 9.6
R&C3 9.6
Jak3 9.6

I can't wait to play this on Christmas...

And I better not get spoiled until then! I'm not reading one review for it.

EGM claimed that one of the boss fights in the game will go down in history as the greatest boss fight ever in a video game.

I really really want to play this game now, but I've spent a good deal of money this term already, so I'll probably wait till Christmas. I don't have much time to play it at school anyways, so it's all good in the hood. I really do hope the boss fight is good, sometimes final bosses can be pretty underwhelming in such epic games.
