Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection (No Artbook)

As of this writing (3/1/2016), I would say this is the optimal way to play almost all of the canonical Metal Gear Solid series. First of all, let's cover what is and isn't in this collection. What IS in this collection: MGS1 (this is download only, however, so make sure your PS3 is online - the package comes with a PSN code), MGS2 (based on MGS2 Substance), MGS3 (based on MGS3 Subsistence), MGS4, MGS: Peace Walker, the MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. I also believe the motion comics for MGS1 and 2 are included. What is NOT included: Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2, Ghost Babel, Snake's Revenge, the NES versions of Metal Gear, Portable Ops and Portable Ops Plus, MGSV: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain - aside from the last two games mentioned, these are non-canonical entries that don't matter much. As for the two MGSV titles, they simply weren't out yet at the time this was released. As you can see from the lists above, this collection is all about the canonical entries in the Metal Gear series, and for that purpose, I would say it serves very well as a fast track into the series. If you're new to MGS and own a PS3 (and honestly, even if you don't), this is a great starting point - for what is just a few bucks per game, you can check out almost the entire series in one go. If you're already familiar with the series, the convenience offered with this collection is staggering and well worth the money. As for the games themselves, I won't review them all individually here...but suffice to say they are all worthwhile games, and these are great, (almost) entirely faithful versions of these games. For those interested in what is actually in the physical box...there are two discs, one of which is the standard HD Collection disc that was released a few years ago, and the other is a Metal Gear Solid 4 disc - nothing is different about these discs except I think the MGS4 disc contains trophy support and all the patches without having to be downloaded. As previously stated, MGS1 is download only, included as a code inside the box - in my opinion, this is the only real flaw of the collection, seeing as it's possible for people to not be able to access the PSN servers to download the game for whatever reason, on top of the code being a one-time use (this is a problem for those buying preowned). This is an insane value, coming in with 7 excellent games in one package, and I can't recommend it enough.

Such a great game and so many great levels

The Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection is the reason I got a PS3 this year in 2016 some 9+ years later after it's launch for $599 USD in 2006. With all the controversy surrounding Konami and Hideo Kojima in 2015 and with it being over 2 years into the 8th generation of consoles with PS4/XBO it looked like the perfect time to buy a PS3 specifically for MGS4. Nowadays more than ever a console is judged by the quality and quantity of it's exclusives. Thanks to the power of Steam, Windows and X-Input lists of exclusive games are becoming short. You'd be wise to get your games for PC for the sure versatility, longevity and customizability of the PC platform when available. Better resolutions, FPS, detail settings and an abundance of Windows installations around the world with strong backwards compatibility and future proofing. However, none of the included games in the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection are available for sale for PC in a way a modern consumer would want to buy them. This leaves you with emulation on PC or this MGS (PS3) collection. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (360) doesn't include the classic PS1 and older Metal Gear games. MGS4 is out of the question being on 360 because it's the biggest PS3 exclusive next to The Last Of Us unless you consider that The Last Of Us has been remastered for PS4; something a good PC version would be able to do with custom settings and mods. To be honest MG and MG2 are extremely outdated, yet don't you wanna see where the series originally came from and how it's evolved since 1987? The expanded PS3 collection has more games for a similar price as the 360 collection at the time of this review; PS3>360 in this case. Sony has the rights to more games than Microsoft is availble to put on 360. The main reason to get the MGS Legacy Collection for PS3 is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008). This game can't be emulated on PC unlike the rest of the games in the series as of 2016. MGS4 was a system seller in 2008 and is still a system seller in 2016. Someday MGS4 might have some sort of re-release with updated graphics and settings for a new decade and generation in the same way Capcom finally brought Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil 0 back from 2002 into 2015-16 remastered for every viable platform except Wii U. For years RE Remake and 0 had been Nintendo Gamecube exclusives. Until Konami gets their act together and the exclusivity rights Sony has to MGS4 expire it ain't gonna happen. With the MGS Legacy Collection you get 8 games from the series that originally spanned 6 consoles and platforms. Metal Gear (NES), Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX2), Metal Gear Solid (PS1), Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions (PS1), Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty (PS2), Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2), Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots (PS3) and Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker (PSP). The main attractions are the numberd MGS series 1-4 + Peace Walker. I strongly recommend you play Peace Walker before you play Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain to be better up to date on Big Bosses story leading up to MGSV. I hope someday Hideo Kojima gets to add his final act to The Phantom Pain that he missed out on doing because Konami screwed up the project. That would be one hell of a director's cut.

Metal Gear Solid is one of my favorite game series. I was so excited to get all the games (except the latest one) in one collection. The only games that it doesn't include is the two Portable Ops and the two Acid games. However, it includes all the games in the main series. Portable Ops does have a part in the main story line, but it is not necessary for understanding the whole picture. This collection includes Metal Gear Solid, and Metal Gear Solid VR Missions for download on the PlayStation store. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on one disc. This disc is the HD collection, and everything is crystal clear when playing. On the other disc it includes Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Snake Eater includes Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on its menu. Even if you do not play these, on the menu of Metal Gear Solid 1 is an extras tab, including the plot of Metal Gear 1 and 2. I personally was not a big fan of these two, but they are still a crucial part to the history in the Metal Gear world. Metal Gear Solid and VR missions were in third person like all the other games, but they are more in an orbital camera view, so instead of being behind snake, the camera is above him. This will continue to be one of my favorite video games. The story line of Metal Gear Solid is full of action, emotion, and it reveals many secrets throughout the series. For a $30 game you get 8 games in one set. Update: In Metal Gear Solid 1, Campbell asks you to contact Meryl, and he says her codec code is on the back of the CD case. I searched frantically on the game for a CD, until looking it up on the internet. He means the games case, but because this is a download, you do not have the case. Her frequency is 140.15

Lo he comprado por menos de 25 euros a un vendedor de importación en USA. La verdad es que no tengo queja alguna respecto al precio, más que correcto por casi toda una saga legendaria. La mayoría de los juegos vienen en físico y en español, aún no lo puedo confirmar porque no he jugado a todos. Sí que puedo decir que los juegos de PSX vienen para descargar en PS Store y están solamente en inglés. Además tienes que hacerte con una cuenta original de USA para poder descargarlos con los códigos que vienen, pero no es demasiado complicado. Después puedes volver a jugar con tu cuenta española en tu PS3 y los juegos quedan instalados y se puede jugar sin problemas. Nada más, todo esto es a lo que se puede jugar y vale la pena por estos 20 euros aproximadamente. - Metal Gear (MSX) y Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX) Se accede dentro del juego de Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Metal Gear Solid (PSX) y VR Missions (PSX) En descarga digital - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PS2) En el Bluray - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2) En el Bluray - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) En el Bluray - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP) en el Bluray POR FAVOR, valora como útil mi opinión si te ha gustado. Muchas gracias, te lo agradezco.

I thought this was the 3 in 1game but it’s some rubbish comic book story. Hated that I paid for this

How can you not give this 5 stars? You get 10 games (including VR missions and extra games etc): - Metal Gear (the first one , 1986) - Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid (the most renowned one, released on PS1, you have to make a USA account and download it but don't worry you can use it on other accounts too) - Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons Of Liberty, inc. VR missions - Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater - Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of Patriots - Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker - And two other minigames All of this, available on two disks, for only £20. This is a crazy deal with so much value. Definitely buy this instead of the MGS Collection which only has MGS 2, MGS3 & MGS Peace Walker, about the same price. It wouldn't make sense if you bought the collection really. Delivery was great, no complications and arrived a day later. There are two discs. This is probably because MGS4 needs to have its own disk as it was a huge game and all the other games, with the exception of Metal Gear Solid 1 and MGS 1 VR missions are available for download with a USA account. Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 are located in the MGS 3 main menu. For those wondering the Dualshock 4 controller (DS4) is NOT compatible with MGS2 Sons of Liberty and MGS3 Snake eater, not sure about Peace Walker. Games that are compatible with the DS4 are Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 4 and perhaps MGS Peace Walker. Edit 2022: I believe it is, I haven't played it in a couple of years but I think this was one of the few games that worked with DS4 so that was a nice bonus. To conclude, Metal Gear has always been the best video game series ever (for me anyways), and this is perfect. If you have any questions, use the questions section of this page so I can answer questions. Very happy! Edit 2021: 3-4 years later and I wouldn't change my original review. Occasionally, I will replay a certain MGS game; often when feeling nostalgic I will turn on the PS3 to play the collection. I remember buying the PS3 (again) at the time mainly because of this collection - I just wanted to play and re-experience the older MGS games again after selling my PS3 back in 2014 when I got a PS4. Anyway, this game series means a lot to me and I feel like it affected the young me playing this when I was just a kid. I remember playing MGS2 when I was around 8 years old on the PS2 - didn't understand most concepts but going back and playing MGS2 for the 12th time, I realise things I couldn't have before and understand the complicated Kojima-esque plot better. Edit 2: Currently trying to get MGS2 platinum - it's a pain! Edit 3: Got the platinum for MGS2 & MGS3. MGS2 took me a while about 40-50 hours, MGS3 was done in one playthrough, easy. I'd love to get the platinum for MGS4, one of my favourites... perhaps one day.

Tolle Sammlung (fast) aller Metal Gear-Titel die bis 2012 erschienen sind. Mein persönliches Highlight ist zweifelsohne die (englisch-) vertonte Version von Metal Gear Digital Graphic Novel. Absolute Kaufempfehlung für MGS-Fans!!
