Metal Gear Marathon

The honeymoon period was short lived. Being a self-confessed Metal Gear enthusiast and somewhat of a veteran of the series by now, I imagined an easy ride and a game that I could instantly play and parade through as if no enemies existed. I soon learned otherwise as I slowly progressed.

It was in 1988 that Metal Gear was released and it is all those years ago that Hideo Kojima thought out the basic concepts for Metal Gear Solid’s “Tactical Espionage Action” which kicked off one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world today.

The beauty of Portable Ops is that it holds upon its shoulders the massive weight that was created with such a superb prequel as Snake Eater.

My first thoughts of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater were pretty much the same as what I hear most people say about the game, it was “different”, very different!

Play through the entire Metal Gear saga chronologically from Big Boss’ first mission and the birth of Metal Gear, in Metal Gear Solid 3, through the Solid Snake series of games to Metal Gear Solid 4, the final act and ultimately the crecendo of the marathon.
