Bear in mind that I only played the first one and the third one Of those 2, the one is definately better, even though the third one has more realistic aspects
for me there is no mgs1,2,3 or 4,its only metal gear solid,u dont need to say one was better or it sucked cause in story they are all related,metal gear 1,3 and 4 are from different generations so i wont say if one is better or worse
wow great question. a tough one. But i voted mgs3. Snake has to skydive into the jungle from about 3 miles up. Then he's on his own in south-american soviet terroritory. Nobody knows about the mission. and if snake were to get caught, the u.s. would be screwed for breaking the rules with the soviets. so It's as black ops as possible. and since its takes place in the 60's your gadgets are minimal compared to the other mgs's. You can't beat a suicide jungle mission with a gun, and a radio. In order to infiltrate the soviets in the 60's. An excellent game, but none of the metal gears can carry mgs4's nuts. It impresses me every time i play.
all of them are incredible. Metal Gear Solid 2 was the most less quality one on storyline but still addictive. as for oscar-winning storylines. MGS4 and Metal Gear Solid and of course Metal Gear Solid 3.
I believe them to be all excellent, they all have the same flaw though with the extremely long cut scenes which gets worse and worse as you go through the series.
