METAL GEAR SOLID

Metal Gear Solid was a truly iconic game back on the original Playstation and it's great to be able to revisit it once again through this GOG release. This was a very poor port back in the day and not much work has been accomplished in this version which is essentially the same. Thankfully there is a great workaround found here https://www.gog.com/forum/metal_gear_series/mgs_widescreen_solution/post8 thanks to this user - it's a bit more work than the remarkable V's fix from MGS2 and requires a couple of downloads plus architecture changes but if you follow the steps carefully, the game will work even at 21:9 which is just insane! The game itself is still fantastic and was way ahead of its time with a superb world and intriguing narrative. It does feel a bit dated in places but it's still fantastic to experience once again especially at such an attractive price.

Simply one of the best games ever made, what can I say?

will always be a masterpiece

the port is good enough and the control is good and smooth with just a keyboard (mouse is not supported but using keyboard alone is enough to play).

I want to give this game 5 stars, its an all time favorite for me and I've replayed it countless times over the last 25 years. My only issue is that my saves wouldnt roll over in this version, so its impossible to earn any of the extras. Snakes tuxedo, his stealth camoflauge, alternate outfits for grey fox and Meryl, all of the bonuses for your own performance arent available. Please fix :(
