If the Resident Evils of this world left you quivering and gibbering in the dark, Metal Gear Solid will undoubtedly induce a similar terror. This, the most recent instalment of the long running console-based Metal Gear series of games, has actually been out on the PlayStation for about 18 months now - and as you should already know, the game was a monster hit worldwide.
Courtesy of a joint venture between Konami and Microsoft it's now the PC's turn to host the show. So just what is all the fuss about then? Well, the story goes something like this. In his latest and most dangerous mission, the irrepressible Solid Snake a covert operations specialist as opposed to a 20ft boa-constrictor or 20in pom star must infiltrate a terrorist stronghold, rescue a few feeble-minded scientists, destroy the infamous Metal Gear Rex an enormous walking nuclear missile launcher , get the girl - or one of them anyway, and then roar off in a F while the base turns into a gigantic fireball behind him.
Most of your time is spent hugging walls, crawling under tanks and dodging searchlights. One mistake and you're history. Enemy soldiers possess such finely tuned AI that they follow sound and footprints and even roll grenades into tunnels and holes if they suspect anything untoward.
And then there are guns. MGS features more than 30 weapons, including machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket launchers. There's also a huge selection of tools ranging from night vision goggles to body armour to cigarettes - and you'll be surprised at just how useful they can be. The real question is how will the PC version be different? Firstly, there's support for screen resolutions of up to 1,x, meaning that graphically the game is far sharper and more detailed than its console counterpart.
Secondly, and much more significantly, the PC offers a first-person as opposed to third-person view. Apparently this option was available in the Japanese PlayStation version, but you had to complete the game before it could be unlocked. No such gruelling effort needed here, although it has to be stressed that the console version was third-person for a reason, and that very good reason was so that you could easily hide behind walls and watch enemy soldiers approaching before leaping out of your hiding place to break their necks.
Hopefully that's not going to affect the gameplay too much, although the feeling here at Towers is that the PC version will veer towards action rather than strategy - a theory bolstered by news that players can save whenever they like instead of at the end of each stage. Whether this is good or bad news completely depends on your own preferences, of course. What is good news though, is the revelation that PC gamers will have access to literally hundreds of missions due to the inclusion of a mission pack as part of the deal.
MGS is due out towards the end of the year, and rest assured we'll get into gear to bring you more news when we have it. The game was created by Hideo Kojima; a creative mind now highly regarded in the video game industry. The narrative tells us the story of Solid Snake, a highly skilled soldier who uses his tactical acumen to prevent terrorist attacks.
Metal Gear Solid gained immediate success, and went on to spawn four additional sequels. It kickstarted a stealth franchise that is now regarded as one of the finest in the genre, and introduced us to one of gaming's best soldiers.
One of the most impressive aspects of Metal Gear Solid is its cinematic quality. For the time, Metal Gear Solid crafted some incredibly cool sequences that pushed the boundaries of the Playstation hardware. Lengthy cutscenes tell a personal and complex story of political intrigue and espionage. In many ways, the world and story feel larger than life. It can be a bit convoluted at times especially later in the franchise , but the story of Solid Snake feels like a blockbuster movie more than a simple stealth game.
As Solid Snake, you aim to sneak into a dangerous facility where a group of terrorists are planning a nuclear attack. You'll have to stealthily avoid and dispatch guards, rescue kidnapped victims, and fight against tough bosses.
Throughout the experience, you'll use your radio to discuss the mission with several characters. Lengthy dialogue sequences and great voice acting make these characters memorable and personable, which adds some significant weight to the storytelling.
Creative bosses like the telekinetic Psycho Mantis or the super accurate Sniper Wolf feel epic, and overcoming these enemies makes you feel like a true super soldier. Gameplay is slow-paced but intense, blending a mixture of action and stealth.
As you explore the facility, you'll have to avoid guards and other enemies by sneaking around. Enemies have a vision range that is displayed on your mini-map, so you'll have to stay in the shadows and use hiding spots for cover. Solid Snake employs a variety of gadgets and items to stay undetected, such as the iconic cardboard box disguise.
Some of the most intense moments in the game don't come from gunfights, but rather sneaking through heavily populated areas without being seen. When the action does get going, things can be pretty difficult. Solid Snake is proficient with weapons, but the damage he takes is realistic.
You won't be able to absorb a full clip of bullets without dying, so it's best to keep things on the quiet side. You can equip silencers to your weapons, use close quarters combat, or use a number of gadgets.
Once you've dispatched an enemy, you'll have to hide their body. If you do go loud, there's usually a decent selection of weapons to choose from. Besides your trusty sidearm, you'll come across sniper rifles, assault weapons, and even some impressive experimental weaponry.
Overall, Metal Gear Solid expertly blends realistic stealth and action gameplay with a complex and rewarding narrative.
It's a story that doesn't take your intelligence for granted, and one that feels both epic in scope and personal in nature. You get to know the character Solid Snake while also learning about the political turmoil the world is stuck in. Along the way, you'll bask in the strategic gameplay, meet tons of memorable characters, and overcome challenging bosses and creative puzzles.
It's a game that prioritizes its story, and despite the slow pace, rarely feels boring. First Contra, then Castlevania and now, one of their best games ever.

From what we has seen so far, Metal Gear for the PlayStation appears to be radically different from what fans of the original game and its sequel, Snake's Revenge , are used to.
