Metal GEAR Solid 3: Snake Eater

Metal GEAR Solid 3: Snake Eater (often shortened MGS3 ) is a Jeu of infiltration created by Hideo Kojima, published and developed by Konami, left on PlayStation 2 in Europe in March 2005. Although it is the third opus of the series Metal GEAR , the history proceeds before with the stories of the other episodes.

Scenario

The history proceeds in 1964, at the beginning of the Cold war. The player incarnates Naked Snake, a soldier of elite charged to recover a Russian scientist captured by a separatist group of the army, wanting to reverse Khrushchev. This researcher of the name of Sokolov developed a destroying weapon: the Shagohod, a tank able to operate as a recluse and of launching nuclear warheads of any type of ground, precursor of terrible Metal GEAR.

Whereas the preceding episodes proceed mainly in an urban environment, Metal Solid GEAR: Snake Eater takes mainly place in a Jungle of the USSR.

Gameplay

Continuing on the impetus of Metal GEAR Solid 2: Sounds off Liberty , the play differs nevertheless on very many points. Thus, more question of radar, biped robot, mission virtual or other elements technological. Metal GEAR Solid 3 taking place in 1964 and in a natural context (forests, deserts, hills, brooks, etc), the basic side of the infiltration was privileged, well far from the anthology of gadgets to which the player accustomed in the preceding plays of the series. A realism and an animality pushed to the extreme, offering new horizons to Hideo Kojima which concocté us new concepts of gameplay. Snake is not satisfied any more to be undetectable, it is necessary for him from now on to survive in hostile environment.

  • Care : the health-care system , offers a scanner making it possible to see the wounds of which suffers Snake with the image from the fractures, cuts, and other burns, to carry out the operations surgical necessary (to apply an ointment, to place a binding, to stop a Hémorragie, to install a spider monkey, recoudre a cut, etc). However it there no real interactivity. Indeed, the player selects the actions one by one to conclude the operations, without handling the tools.

  • Hunting : very carried on survival, Metal GEAR Solid 3 mark also the arrival of the drives out in the play, which makes it possible to Snake to capture dead or sharp fauna and the flora that the player can meet all along this epopee. Inter alia: rabbits, mushrooms, fish, birds, but also of the captures definitely less ragoutantes like frogs, snakes and bat.

  • Camouflage : the system of camouflage makes it possible to be dressed according to the environment and thus to be melted in surrounding nature for better escaping the glance sharpened from the enemy.

These modifications of gameplay are not so alleviating that it does not appear to with it, since Metal GEAR Solid 3 apprehends from its précédecesseurs very differently. The player do not fear any more the enemy, it circumvent, it is immobilized in tall grasses, or it takes it in hunting. Moreover, the play leaves freedom to the player to use the decoration, which swarms with details, as it wishes it.
