Classic Game Room - METAL GEAR SOLID review for PlayStation

[@Forevertwoone]

i cant stop watching this dudes channel, all the classics, were talking crash bandicoot, road rash, reisdent evil, spyro the dragon and in this case metal gear solid, i find myself playing these old classics more then new games

[@MerkhVision]

I'm the same way! I play PS1 games on my PS3 way more than I play actual PS3 games lol

[@desindingtv]

@Jackie Chan Big Fan Dude i used to play the hell out of Dino Crisis when i was a kid. Good memories

[@stevenormandin2448]

This game is one of the best game I've ever played,a masterpiece!!!

[@hopelessent.1700]

Indeed it is I just recently played this game now I am waiting for Death Stranding

[@stacyparejr7142]

Steve Normandin true masterpiece..best game for mgs franchise. still LOVE metal gear solid 😆

[@zackreymiddlenameisdalehud398]

That was so nice of them to donate the game to you. Thanks for making this content dude.

[@kylenesset4607]

i am still waiting for them to release this on the vectrex

[@PolarPhantom]

Mark summarised what makes Metal Gear Solid so beloved and occasionally divisive fairly well. Great work!

[@pretzel3253]

what name to game over montage music ;-;

[@HotSizzleTV_]

Metal gear solid and resident for the ps1 were the best games of its time. Including silent hill, syphon filter most people don't know about syphon filter.

[@HotSizzleTV_]

syphon filter was the shit hands down

[@HotSizzleTV_]

wait they had s syphon filter 3 wtf.. I just picked up at ps1 and a ps2 so i can go back and play this with dino crisis and resident evil

[@RVGSymphony]

+HotSizzleTV fun fact: the director of Syphon Filter was the same person that conceived and directed the Bubsy games

[@HotSizzleTV_]

RVG Symphony i didnt know that

[@InmortalWarlordGaming]

add on kagero deception 2 twisted metal and ff7 WWF warzone and sir you just described the best days of my life. I genuinely feel bad for this generation who really never got to experience the feel.

[@Akyla0177]

I was so attached to this game from the very first time I played it, and could stop playing it until I beat it all the way to the end. So awesome!

[@Pokemonblast1]

Just got this masterpiece off PSN!

[@LukeSparrow221]

Have fun :) Oh, one tip. When the interrogation scene happens, make sure you mash that button! That's how you get the canon ending to the game.

[@LukeSparrow221]

***** Yes, there was indeed a turbo controller. Another way to do this without killing your thumb is by using a pen in a particular way. It allows you to get much more hits in. It's extremely well-done though isn't it? You really do feel like you're fighting the fatique to hold out against the torture. I take it you've just started out with the Metal Gear games?

[@LukeSparrow221]

***** Yea, totally. Never actually done it myself. I think the tension of my thumb breaking adds to the experience.

[@MikeRey785]

This game is Solid!

[@stillgaming]

Trippy. I remember Mark & Dave reviewing Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions in the late 1990s, and now we get a review of the predecessor.

[@Corky316rulz]

Mother of god. I just bought the MGS HD collection today and have been playing MGS 2 non stop since I came home. Only now i go on You Tube and find Mark has reviewed the original. Its a sign......of some sort. God I love this game.

[@chronrodsolid3752]

if you hold the X button after you get up from a prone position. you can run while you shoot. you gotta keep running at that stair part don't stop till you get to the top.

[@ZenithSkies]

I wish I personally knew you, Mark. Just your speech patterns brighten up my day.

[@zebed3e]

Crickey, I havn't been watching CGR this past couple of months (I know, I know.. hand me over that whip!) but when I heard the intro a sec ago.... damn, it reignited my urge to play oldschool games!! damn you CGR! you and your Ace intro music! !!

[@RyonTeachesMugen]

damn those intro songs you guys made are just so awesome, i wish i could have them.

[@lilian9299]

your deep voice is one of the things i watch your videos for , the content is great too lol

[@Zeggawong]

Can anyone tell me If there is any advantage to buying Metal Gear Solid Classic from the PSN (PS3 network) ? Any visual or audio improvements over the old PS1 disc?

[@Ruizfor2024]

Oh man. I remember the first time I played this (I was 10) being so freaked out at the memory card reading scene. I also loved the whole having to look on the actual CD case to get the right number to call Meryl. So many good memories playing this game. It really is a shame that more games today don't put in those little details to make them stand out.

[@michaelmclaren1333]

I liked that we got a few trophy's and cutscenes for having played ground zeros. Kogima has always given us cool things like that.

[@acicon]

so wait, how do you switch the controller ports for mantis when playing on the PS3?

[@rjpodcasthub]

The part of Metal Gear Solid 1 i like the best, is the fact that you have to think outside the box for some of the sections. I mean changing your controller to port 2 to win a boss battle and having to look on the back of the case to get the frequency to call. I thought that was awesome.

[@brunocar02]

this game is for pc since 2000 its called mgs: integral it contains the vr missions too it can be found in the iso zone

[@000274400]

When are they going to remaster this game into PS4 quality. I think i would orgasm if they announced that. I remember watching this game in high school, i got to play like 5 seconds of it because my buddy who owned it and 20 other dudes would just watch and take turns. First time I ever felt that a video game was a movie could not wait to get to the next part. as epic as it gets folks, one of the greatest games in history. this was the landing on the moon moment for video games!

[@draskafer]

metal gear solid the twin snakes on game cube is remake of this game

[@Detsurasu]

Not gonna happen. MGS V: TPP is their main priority right now.

[@SeverdSeouL]

+draskafer We don't like to talk about that piece of shit

[@stacyparejr7142]

SeverdSeouL we dont say its name..out loud anyway's 😔

[@FentonRhoades]

A thing has its time and it's part of that. Remaking it in HD isn't going to remake the experience of you playing that game for the very first time when it originally came out. I mean, look at the Shadow Moses section of MGS4 - it's lovely, it's nostalgic, it's a beautiful recreation - but time's moved on, it's kind of the point of that whole bit. Metal Gear isn't the same game it it originally was, you're not the same person you were when you started out on Shadow Moses Island all those year s ago. Kojima called it right, nostalgia has it's place in the world - but you can't remake what that original game was, what it meant playing it. A HD re-creation is just a cash in, an expensive echo. Do what you did when you first swam to the surface as Snake - use your imagination. That's how you played it the first time round. Treasure the ability. In this day and age, it's a dying art. Peace : )

[@maziku4749]

what a wonderful game. i remember playing the demo and being blown away. it was so good that my friend who wasnt a big gamer, got a ps1 and mgs for christmas.

[@csgrambauer5852]

I love your reviews! You don't hate on my favourite games from the PS1, PS2 and PS3 eras. Other reviewers hate on the games I love (Alien Trilogy, MGS, GTA3 and so on). It's a nice surprise and a nice change. Oops, forgot to add, I'm definitely following you now. :)

[@Rakiarmas]

Just a few weeks ago I bought the Metal Gear Solid The Legacy Collection. This collection has Metal Gear, MG2 Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, MGS Special Missions, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS Peace Walker & two MGS Digital Graphic Novels & Artbook. It was pretty expensive, but really worth the high price. Only big problem I had with this collection was that MGS & MGS Special Missions are DOWNLOADABLE games. This sucks, because I don't have internet connection on my PS3.

[@cataclysmpplrules]

i snagged that when it first came out, hard to beleive it was 30 bucks, now its like 80 or 90

[@treebush]

the camera was made to be similar to mgs from nintendo as you can see top down view

[@lastvaquero]

I love Mark's Gameplay Footage, you can tell by just watching that he's having loads of fun just playing the game ;D

[@Jereeeeeeee]

FINALLY!! I have been waiting for this review since the first time I subed! I love the people who donated it!!!

[@cubemaster2007]

MGS VR missions is what I meant to say and supposedly it's going to include the first two metal gear games from NES but that's not confirmed yet.

[@Blurgleflargle]

My favourite is Ghost Babel on the Game Boy Colour. It has all the bells and whistles from MGS, but retains the look and feel of the MSX classics.

[@TheSteelexpresso]

I thank the people that took it out of their personal game collection to give up such a classic to Mark. You are amazing.

[@awesomotommy]

What's the song at 0:30? Does anyone have a name or link?

[@TheRyan115]

What is the difference between the Solid Snake for PS1 and Twins Snakes for the Game Cube ??

[@JamesCarmichael]

Is there a Gas Snake and Plasma Snake?

[@sfrazeur]

MGS for the PS1 later came as a three part collection that includes MGS 2 and 3. The last two for the PS2. PS1 games will play on PS2. So MGS 1 is the same as it was originally released for the PS1.

[@iamthetie]

This game is and always will be such a gem! It's still so much fun to play to this day!

[@hadamana]

Athens Family Healthcare uses some of this music for their hold muzak! [the tune that plays when we first see him at the desk]

[@MickDeaks]

Running up the tower with enemies was the most difficult part for me, until I learnt how to run with the FAMAS. Such an incredible game.

[@hdestotallyunoriginalgamin3555]

"Mashed Potato Consistency Snake" - I'm dying over here!

[@paunstefan1]

Best game ever reviewed by the best reviewer ever ! Thanks Mark ( and the guys who donated this game) ! Can't wait for your MGS2 and MGS3 reviews.

[@cestlavieii1546]

I actually still have the Bleem! disc for Sega Dreamcast to play this on. Awesome way to play one of my favorite games of all time.

[@DTNNooby]

that's weird, where did 7:10 go?

[@Axonteer]

What is "Stock music" ?

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

I remember reading the preview for this game about a year before it was released and being so so so so excited. when it came out.......It was one of the defining moments of my gaming life.

[@OddManSam]

They are actually extremely unique cutscenes for its time and still are today that are fantastic for any fan of cinema.

[@Browncoat1984]

Great review! I received the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for Christmas and since it didn't include the original MGS (It had all the other games including MG1 and 2 lol) I bought it for $10 on the Playstation store. I really enjoyed it but I agree its hard (but after watching you play I don't feel as bad lol). The worst part was the interrogation scene. Had to do it a few times before I got it and my finger was tired by the end lol.

[@Str1ctur3]

Don't forget about mgs the vr missions, its not essential to the story but it offered much more to do...

[@BrunestudArcademy]

those cutscenes are AMAZING

[@ShorePlain]

Millions of Happy Birthday wishes from Sweden, Metal Gear on your 25th birthday! (07/07/2012) It's been a long time since the people were introduced to Snakes first adventure, in Outer Heaven. Little did I know that I was entering a world of intense graphics, spectacular 3D environtments, mindblowing story and memorable characters, and my favorite video-game series of all time. I fell in love with Snake and the many things he taught me. Thank you Hideo Kojima and Konami, for making my life...

[@Skotone514]

Hey, Do you guys really recommend MGS? I wanted to play it and now that it's 4.99€ I don't know if I should get it or not...

[@NintendoGuy128]

It's pretty fun, I'd get it if I were you.

[@Skotone514]

I tried it on an emulator and I was surprised by how beautiful it was. Of course I didn't finish the game because of the hard controls (I was using the keyboard), so I ended up buying it :D As for MGS HD Collection, is it better in Ps3 or Psv?

[@SS3ChaoticMassacre]

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Honestly, this review touched on nearly every aspect of this game. There's SO MUCH to MGS1 that it will require you to play through it several times. I've beaten this game over 7 times and NEVER KNEW that dogs could pee on that cardboard box. Incredible! This game never ages!

[@Phantom-kc9ly]

Skotone514 You probably already bought it but I wanted to add my own two cents. I actually preferred MGS2 on Vita. I always play it whenever i need to burn time and i have my vita on me. But I played the rest of the collection on PS3. Hopefully you didn't miss these but the original Metal Gear 1&2 are inside MGS3.

[@HalEmmerichOtacon]

Let's just say it's just like one of my Japanese animes. Or in other words, It's Pretty Good.

[@MrThunderBird1011]

What happened to the "HD" part in Classic Game Room? Is it not heavy duty anymore????

[@SpiderandMosquito]

im curious as to how multi disc games work. i mean how does your memory and data you've earned from the first transfer to the second and so on or does it do something else?

[@Corky316rulz]

Dude bro where have you been. It came out a few months ago on PS3 and 360. MGS 2, 3 and Peace Walker a PSP game. Also the original 2 Metal Gears fro years and years ago. Along with trophies achievements and online play. Epicness

[@MysteryAGMLegend]

He should come back and do reviews on KZbin again

[@edgarmonrgiz7952]

1998 I'M SOOOO OLD NOW. but this was 1 of the great games I've ever played and still love it.

[@cubansupreme]

1:40, loving that short montage. where did u get that song from? sounds like that "victory" song that plays after u defeated Bowser for the last time in Super Mario 64 but it's remixed somehow.

[@rhyleymaster]

How about the Metal Gear Solid on Gameboy Color?

[@HYPNOGLANCE87]

yea they put to much matrix feel into it i mean did snake really have to do a backflip for a bullet from ocelots revolver?

[@ToshisGarden]

the thing and gave my copy of MGS to my friend at the beginning of the year I'd got MGS2. I'd already moved out of state and away from that friend, so I couldn't play it at his house and no one around me had a PS1, so I opted to get the Twin Snakes in a desperate act of hope. Amazed at the story of the series, I was upset at myself for not getting into it sooner. This year back in February/March, I finally got a PS2 along with ingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, and eventually MGS3: subsistence.

[@billybishop1997]

They don't have MGS for the Xbox, or do they?

[@Coltondh]

I've never played a MGS game, but I'm extremely interested in the series. I've been considering getting the MGS HD collection but then I'd miss out on MGS1. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should play to get the full experience?

[@Andrew-fk8yf]

I love how you kinda hid a giggle when Psycho Mantis ragdoll'd over that table XD

[@NinjaPieceLOL]

was this the game that was remade on the Gamecube as The Twin Snakes?

[@CloneGranny]

Needs more boxes.

[@coldskyclouds7188]

i loved the whole "warehouse in alaska" thing this game had the FEELING and vibe of the game was very cold and unforgiving.. it was just something i had never experienced before in a game

[@coldskyclouds7188]

LOL

[@KryptKicker5]

Marcelo B LOL total immersion, love it dude.

[@justindloski9129]

Marcelo B Hahaha, funniest thing I've heard in awhile.

[@SilentFantasy5]

The clone burnt on the river was a Big Boss clone.. His name was Solidus Snake. The Big Boss Snake talks to at the end of MGS4 is actually Big Boss, kept alive by many factors after the Outer Heaven incident.

[@alwaysasn]

which system is the HD collection on??? I'm assuming it has 1 on it as well.. I never played as a kid but I would love to try it out

[@FredHerbert999]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the excellent translation and voice acting

[@sfighter991]

Good Review, Did you know that this is technically Metal Gear 3? First their was both Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake both for MSX 2 and then this one.

[@llpalm08]

This was one of my favourite games on the PS1, I have no idea how I knew how to get past the mission where you had to switch controller port as I didn't have the internet back then and I cant find anything about it in my cheat book for PS1 games so I have no idea how I managed to work it out. Have never forgotten the Game Over screen where they shout snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaake!!!

[@maku_watches]

So glad I gave into peer pressure by my mates at school, to get this. Played everyone since and never looked back. Just wish I was better at it.

[@sfighter991]

No your right, I just didn't include the games because they weren't out until the advent of the PS2. I was referring to back before the PS2. That's all.

[@markingfeat]

My brother used to play this when i was young, and to tell the truth the only thing i remembered from this game was the game over screens, they where so epic! Mark didn't mention but you can get this game for PC as well, and 2 game is out for PC under the name Substance.

[@minecrafterplus7205]

When I battled Psycho Mantis, and he read my memory card, I hid under my bed and cried. I hated it.

[@AsaBrooks]

right i was 3 when i first played the original. now that i'm 15 i can truly see how awesome this game is.

[@s103792]

should i get this off psn ?

[@SurvivalHorrorMaster]

God, I wish all the KZbinrs were so polite like you.

[@thefi5th86]

A reboot/remastered version of this game with original voice acting would be awesome

[@DaniFilth84]

They ARE following the story in MGS 4 , if you play it, it explains why he looks so old after a very short period of time. But he is the same Solid Snake.

[@FreDaN92]

I love the metal gear solid games so it's awesome to see Mark review this ^^

[@YTPGOD]

i miss these videos

[@billybishop1997]

I dunno. What do you mean, digital copy?

[@SWellusionist]

Wish mark could review the crash bandicoot series for ps1, like to hear wat he says about them

[@datacentre81]

Mark, you just said you were broadcasting from the Intergalactic Space Station. It's the Intergalactic Space Arcade, remember?

[@josaywut]

I remember when i was kid, i used to spend hours and hours.... playing the demo.

[@flguitarist8298]

Jam Packs baby!

[@Ziggletooth]

I dont understand, I've been playing peace walker offline (just got some extra ops missions to do) and its definately on the easy side, especially with the sneak suit that zaps all difficulty and the ammo/ration support call for the boss battles. Hopefully I'll be done with the hd collection soon but I got to say the vr missions on mgs2 were the hardest. or maybe just tedious, its hard to tell theres so many of them that it just takes away my energy...

[@ryoukoblade]

I have a ton of memories with this game and you highlighted some of the best parts of it, but the part with the guy in the bathroom made me smile. I actually have a save point around that scene because my wife used to sneak up on the guy while he was "distracted" and plant all of the C4 we had on him. The results were always good for a laugh no matter what in life would get us down.

[@bardock714]

they should do a hd remake of all of it. imagine this the same gameplay but graphics like metal gear solid rising. wat do you think konami? just for like an anniversary collection

[@ProtoMario]

If anyone wants a much more playable version of this game, there is a remake known as Twin Snakes on Gamecube. Much much better with nothing detracted.

[@amaulana090]

I LOVE KZbin AND THEIR NEW TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

[@JOHNN01.82]

One of the best games i ever played . earning the stealth suite to run through it on the second attempt was a lot of fun nice to give you something achieve then on the third game completion infinite ammo

[@billlllable]

you can change ports on the ps3

[@ToshisGarden]

this game is just remarkable...sooo many memories. It's quite funny, actually, because since we've had this game since I was probably about 4, I used to play it along with Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Crash Bash, but too much because of the alert sound when you get spotted, the music that followed, and the game over, lol. When it came out, we got MGS2:Substance for Xbox since we didn't get a PS2 and I'd only watch my dad play. About a decade later (7-8 years or so), I went to my grandparents in

[@guafito]

ABOUT TIME YOU MADE A REVIEW FOR THE BEST GAME ON PLAYSTATION EVER MADE!!!! :3 thats why i subscribed to you

[@JoaqMan]

Mark, you should play Twin Snakes, the remake for GameCube. It seems you would be easier at it.

[@cubansupreme]

maybe he said Intergalactic Space Arcade b4 when he's playing arcade styled games?

[@CMSonYT]

they did?

[@MrHahaax]

U need level6 card to get to the torture room (or out of there)

[@Issen_Mode]

I miss these reviews

[@SuperGesus]

david hayter is the voice actor
