Metal Gear Solid 1 Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 03. 2022
- The year 1998 can be considered as the single most important one for stealth games with three important hallmark releases of the genre - namely FromSoftware's Tenchu: Stealth Assassins and Konami's Metal Gear Solid having been released during that year. While all three of these franchises boast meaningful contributions to the stealth genre, Metal Gear Solid remains a franchise that has remained relevant after all these years. Furthermore, many of the biggest stealth franchises such as the likes of Splinter Cell even owe their very existence to Konami's 1998 breakout hit.
It's been almost 24 years since Metal Gear Solid first burst onto the seams, and the game is still being actively discussed by legions of fans around the globe on account of its many advances in game design and narrative elements. While its age has certainly taken away a fair deal of its charm, it remains one hell of an experience nevertheless. To that effect, we are taking a look back at Metal Gear Solid 1 all these years later.

This game was ahead of its generation. A true masterpiece. It literally changed my life when I played it. 10 out of 10
THIS! I was a child when I played this (like 8 years old) and it blew me away how deep it was. Complex and really resonated with me. So far ahead of other PS1 games
Mine too man, it’s truly one of the the greatest games ever made! It’ll always be a 10 out of 10 for me, I mean hell, it breaks that 10 limit..it’s a 100 out of 10!😁
@@Khaotic_Reign MGS1 pushed the medium forward and has done things that still no other game that I can think of has even tried to do
@@webhead4414 HELL YES it has, MGS1 was a (pardon the pun) game changer, and will go down in history as one of, if not the GREATEST games created, and was a staple in the gaming industry..I mean, this game is such a testament of how gaming can be a mature and not just for kids, and still tell a compelling story..many years from now kids will be learning about this game in history class, haha. (which is kind of ironic, and would make sense since so much of real world history is told in the games) Who says games can’t teach you anything, ha.
Thank you
I just played it again this past week for the first time since I was a kid. This was the first game I ever played where I thought I was playing a movie. The dialogue was well written and acted out. The boss fights with Fox Hound, ninja, Metal Gear Rex were EPIC. At the time, this is the best it got. That being said, I forgot how hard it was at some points, and muscle memory of later games betrayed me when I tried cqc and first person aiming. So in a way, it was like I was playing it for the first time. Kojima was gaming god overnight from this one.
At the time, it wasn't the best it got; it was a fucking break through!😂
I hear you men. Metal gear solid was the first game i ever played. I was a kid and wanted to buy a bugs bunny game but my brother insisted that we bought mgs. I was very angry at him for doing that. But i fell in love with the game. 32 years and still a fan.
I played it as a child in Iraq and they talked about the war and it was awesome and my best game I ever played
Best game of all time
I like the fact that they’re remembering MGS 1 but rating a game that came out 25 years ago with today standards is ridiculous. When this game came out it was a 10/10 and it’s considered a masterpiece. They didn’t have the technology we have today and all these game engines that are super realistic.This is one of the games why I’m still a gamer and I’m 34.This is a Bullshit review, this game is a 10/10.
And the soundtrack ? It’s legendary even to this day, they didn’t even talk about the soundtrack. Fix this review ASAP.
They've lost the plot
You're right, buy they are also entitled to their opinions. As we all are, so as long as you know it's a 10/10 that's all that matters
Dude the soundtrack!
10/10
Yeah I would still rate it 10/10 even by today's standards. If you throw modern graphics onto it then the gameplay soundtrack and story still hold up 100%. If the only problem is the graphics then play the twin snakes. I still rate it a 10 just for how different it is gameplay wise to most "big" games that come out these days
For me this will always be the best game ever made, yes it’s short by todays standards but in terms of gameplay and story telling it is a 10/10 I played this when it first came out and it has aged like a fine wine.
It says something when you can play a game immediately finish it and then start all over again and enjoy it all the same.
My favourite game of all time. Cannot wait for the remake. A insta buy for me. 10/10
Twin Snakes already came out
@@seph--- twin snakes was trash 🗑. They literally changed most of the Music scores which is only a start on the cons
@@BigBoss9696 I definitely agree.
@@BigBoss9696 It's funny that Twin Snakes is considered to be "trash" as a remake, by many. But the reality is, even a trash Metal Gear game is still pretty good. lol
I played both when they first came out, and I certainly thought the Matrix style cutscenes and some of the music tracks were shit, but I still enjoyed it. Also, the voice acting is very monotone. That said, I don't quite understand why people hate it so much, with a passion it seems, even to a point in which it offends them.
I think people just like parroting the same shit over and over again, because it makes them feel cool or something. lol
@@Johnnybomb1 because it feels nothing like mgs1. The first person camera breaks the boss fights (one of mgs strengths)
I remember being so fucking proud of myself for just finishing this game back in the day without the help of the internet itself. The whole experience changed me as a teenager altogether. This game helped me transition from a kid to a man. Absolutely greatness in a video game.
Age certainly DID NOT take ANYTHING away from its charm. This game is a forever 10/10
True, still an 8
Dude MGS1 is mindblowing, right from the start, the rats running around, the reflections in the water, the amount of optional codec calls you can trigger at specific times. What i love about metal gear is that it discourages using a guide, if you want to figure out what to do, you call members of your crew, each with different specilizations, like a weapons expert, evvoirmental expert etc.. it really feels like you're a real spy on a mission. The amount of work they did even on every camera angle when pressed up agaisnt a wall or kneeling near a corpse, is insane. MGS1 is a masterpiece imo.
It definitely does
The best is yet to come. One of the best video game themes.
That song gives me chills every time.
This game still holds up today. A true classic and masterpiece. Thanks for revisiting it.
Out of nowhere...a retro review. Me like a lot
Can't wait for a sequel.
Good one there
I can't believe this game was made in 1998
It still the best game i've ever experince
The story
The boss
The music... Etc
The story, music, and especially the voice acting still hold up incredibly well.
I remember getting to play this at a friends house and thinking it was absolutely mind blowing ☺️ same with FFVII around the same time I think, shame that games can’t really give you that same feeling as a grown up…
I still have this feeling with assassins creed Ezio collection death stranding Bioshock collection and red dead 2
Same. My Chinese buddy from church danny. I was like 11. Love you danny wherever you are. 30 years later i still remember the beautiful smell of their home and the moms cooking and talking... Lul.
Dad was super cool with a minivan.
Video Games changed my life more than any play or movie or novel..
Shenmue 1 saved my life im not kidding. Lul.
Peace buddy
Man those 2 were classics for sure. And silent hill and resident evil 2
1998 was a very good year for video games.
@@Jonkin715 absolutely yes 👍 was FFVII that year as well? 🤔
I think a numeric score for a game like this is a weird concept. It'd be like an art critic saying the Mona Lisa hasn't aged well.
Honestly, I still think Metal Gear 2 is an amazing game and I didn't play that one until like a decade ago. It's so good it made MGS almost feel like a remake.
Mgs was pretty much a remake of MG2, mg2 is cool but nothing great. Mgs1 tho is great and is an 8
Metal Gear Solid waa a true classic, genre defining, and way ahead of its time!
2022 and it's still the best videogame ever created. And I'm glad for having enjoyed It back in 1998. It has deep philosophical elements and a big message to mankind, a message of peace, love, respect and sacrifice. It should be studied in universities. Not to mention all the geopolitical aspects that Kojima was able to foresee already 30 years ago.
Just perfection.
I grew up with this Masterpiece, Kids today think that videogames are all about Dark Souls...they don't even know what they're missing!
Where did this come from???!
Hands down my all time favourite game. The graphics may have dated but an hour into the game and you don't even notice anymore. It still plays brilliantly and I'm currently 4 and a half hours into another run through
This is why I love GamingBolt. They keep making Metal Gear and Silent Hill content. My 2 fav gaming franchises!
I was 17 when this game came out. My grandma asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told her I wanted this game. I was so blown away when I played it. It was definitely a game changer and something truly special. The storyline, game mechanics, characters, etc...were all top notch. I can't remember how many time I replayed it. One of my favorite games of all time
My first time with MGS1 was through the Twin Snakes remake on GameCube. What a great experience. Playing this after MGS3 really solidified my admiration for this series. Such great gameplay and storytelling. A genre defying experience
This was the first video game I ever played.
I still remember taking my moms curtain holders off the wall and wearing it like snake wore his bandana. Sneaking around my house on the ground haha. Good times and a great game.
About two months ago I had the itch for mgs again after not playing since the phantom pain.
I now own a ps3 again with ever mgs title available.
I started with mgs3..peacewalker..mgs1..mgs2 ..mgs4 and now starting my second play through of the phantom pain.
I haven’t enjoyed videos games as much as I have in the last two months.
This series will always hold a special spot in my memories. Greatest series ever.
There was a modern remake, Twin Snakes on the GameCube. It was fantastic!
It was alright. The new camera broke boss fights.
@@seph--- Not really, just Ocelot was the only fight. It also added pipes you can shoot. Nothing stops the player from running around the room
@@blackhawk65589 Gray Fox too
@@seph--- You can't even use FPV or any weapons on Grey Fox.
@@blackhawk65589 when he goes invisible. Your supposed to chase him around. In FPV you don't have to to. Also the Mario statue gives health.
Man. The first time I saw the scene with grey fox in the hallway I was terrified. I think for first timers that don’t know the story or have prior experience the game should probably take closer to 8-10hrs. What an incredible game.
Same here, it was so immersive, with the audio, coupled with the camera angles. Man, what a fantastic experience
This game took me over 2 weeks to beat (because I was allowed to play my PS1 for 2 hours only everyday 🥲) but man was it an experience. It was so mind-blowingly fantastic that for a few weeks no movie would intrigue me or surprise me.
Now playing this game on 4k. Still a blast to play! One of the few ps1 games that are still being played decades later!
This was such a big game for me. One of the first I bought with my own money, and one of the first that really made me think on a grander scale. What a great game. Thanks for doing the retro review!
Thanks for property giving me the credit on the thumbnail! Not many do this so thank you
My cousin and i played this enough to quote every cut scene and a good chunk of codec conversations. It was fun trying to sound like each character we quoted. What an absolute gem of a game. 10/10 every time i play it. Not many games that attempt story even sniff these types of character and story.
The visuals in MGS have aged better than any other PS1 game
A version of Metal Gear was released on the NES under Konami’s alternate company name, Ultra. It was different than the MSX Japanese game, but it was good for its time. Also, Snake’s Revenge came out as a sequel on NES, but it was nothing like Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the MSX (a far superior title).
Appreciate GamingBolt doing a review to a legendary classic game. Looking forward they'll be checking other classic PS1 games in the future.
This game changed & helped my life. I replay / rewatch every 4 years or so. Such a legendary piece
Thief:the dark project/Gold is arguably a better "pure" stealth, game but overall MGS was groundbreaking as an action/adventure/stealth narrative driven game! Truly remarkable for it's time and overshadowed MANY games of the mid-late 90s. I remember playing the demo from Pizza Hut, several times, and few weeks later I had to rent it. I was completely blown away!!!
Metal Gear Solid is the best Metal Gear game ever in the Metal Gear franchise. Metal Gear Solid is a masterpiece.
Nah, Snake Eater is.
Nah, 2 and 3 are better
This is my favorite game of all time. It still looks amazing and plays beautifully today.
35yr old gamer here I just beat MGS for the 1st time......yea the gameplay mechanics have not aged well (the combat, shooting mechanics).....however I can certainly see how mind blowing I would have been had I played it in 1998.
Played this great game like 30 times maybe once or twice a year since its release. My android psx emulator helped when I was at work. This game is currently on my Samsung s20plus.
THIS is THE game. THE game that got me into gaming. Of course I didn't understand shit about it. I was a sophomore in college. But God it was so good. My favorite game of all time
The visuals haven't aged well? That's bullshit, they're amazing, even to this day they still look great!
I would enjoy a remake of this.
Twin Snakes exists
I played the GameCube Remake, Twin Snakes. I really loved it, especially the story. Great characters, Deep Lore, and smart storytelling. I’m hoping to check out the original one day, I’ve heard it’s even better than the remake.
You must. The soundtrack for that one was epic.
Wow, 25 years went by pretty fast. Very thankful to have had the opportunity to play this when it came out, great to have your mind blown once in a while.
I really need to play this again. I was 11 when it came out and it blew my mind. I have a pretty shitty memory from my childhood but this game is one I’ll always remember. The biggest games that stuck with me was MGS, Twisted Metal, FF7 and Resident Evil. Those really shaped me as a gamer
This game started gaming for me!! So many great memories! Best game ever made 👍🏻
WHAT YEAR IS IT?!
Hands down my favorite game and series to this day
I played this to death when I was a kid. I don't think I need to re-visit.
Even today still 10/10
2023 still no remake, it’s becoming actually insane.
I think Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 need it more. Seeing Big Boss vs Solid Snake with PS5 graphics would be amazing.
One of my favourite PS1 game of all time. Hope there will be a remake on the current gen consoles or PC. Would love to play a remake on current gen. Completed this game like 3 times.
GameCube remake was epic
Oh this was one of my favorite games from my youth😁 ff7 and 8 , metal gear solid , gex 3D , syphon filter .
I replayed them over and over ,
Metal gear solid was still a lot of fun after beating the game for the 6th time 😁
Every character and every boss had his own problems and story to tell.
Mid 40s here, been gaming since the 2600. Metal Gear Solid is in my top 5 games of all time
One of my favorite video games of all time
I watched a friend play this when I was about 7 years old. Instantly became hooked. I use to break into my siblings rooms when they were gone just to play it. Man lol... those were the days... Crazy that I could understand a story that complex at such a young age. 15 out of 10.
This Game has a very special place in my heart. Without a doubt Masterpiece and one of the best games ever.
The only thing I miss in mgs1 is the Camera from snake eater so you can move it just a Little bit. But the funny thing is when I first played snake eater I bought it again on ps Vita because there the camera is third person
On PS3 MGS3 HD Edition also has that 3rd person view camera
@@Solid-Old I know and I heard on ps2 substance
This game has influenced so many games. Batman series stealth sections, gears of war cover system I could go on.
Twin Snakes was on the GameCube and the graphics were way better and the cut scenes were amazing
MGS remains one of those few games I still love for the overall experience, though I must admit that Thief:The Dark Project was a much more advanced game in every way - with excellent storytelling, world building, fantastic atmosphere and incredible stealth mechanics taking into account light/shadow, sound propagation and so on.. all of which stood the test of time.
Love MGS to bits, it's more than the sum of its parts, but yeah - in the stealth genre, the Thief series remains king in my book.
MGS was the first game I beat on my old PS1, great times!
An amazing game that created so many memories for bunches of people. I love this series and it is still a standard of what a game franchise should be. Immersive story lines with an amazing style of stealth gameplay. One of the few reasons that I miss my PS4 is me not being able to play MGS 4 and most other games in the series.
MGS 2 was my first exposure to the series but I did experience this amazing masterpiece soon after.
I’m jealous that twin snakes wasn’t released for anything outside of gamecube!!
I remember playing this as a kid in '98 and saying to myself "This is the best anime I've ever played."
I'm a big fan of Metal Gear Solid franchise. I started with MGS 3. It was a blast for me back then. I fell in love with the story and gameplay. Thanks to that game, I played 1, 2, 4, peace walker and ground zeroes and phantom pain.
Hard to believe this isn’t on your top 30 games of all-time vid just released
My time machine was a success
This game definitely opened my eyes to not only the world to questioned my way of thinking am I programmed to think this way or is it my way own way of thinking. Also told me to it's ok to question what pushed unto me from the media and peer pressure. This game was so well done and taught me life lessons that school couldn't of taught me
My former roommate made this background music to this. Very talented guy.
Probably my favorite game of all time. Mantis reading your memory card and telling u what other games you've played blew me away as a kid . Would love this game remastered.
Not only that, he would even characterize you based on those saved games. If too much action or shooting games, then I think he would say you are violent or something. That was so awesome.
Why doesn't this have the subtitle still a masterpiece? Disrespectful of the greatest MGS game ever...this game was and is still Legend and Epic, the one that started the solid saga, gave us all the 4th wall amazing experiences...best snake, best support cast best boss unit, best villains, best story and best soundtrack with the best epic ending theme....this game had the double, triple crossing and the plot twist...and Gray Fox! There will never be the another moment like when MGS graced the scend in 1998... nostalgia and timeless memories that every cinematic video games owes to it
I still don't understand why bad guys trying to stop Snake when he will activate Metal Gear in the end.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was like 12 yrs old. And I had a short listening span.
I remember coming up from the elevator and finally walking on snow and finding the socom gun.
After days trying to figure out how to get in side I went up stairs while alarms were going off then crouched into the wall by mistake and found the vents to crawl in.
I finally learned chaff grenades blinded CCT cameras.
I also remember I had no idea how to find Baker then on the codec they kept saying something about paint over the walls.
I was so young and dumb I didn’t even know how to blow up c4 but eventually I blew up walls and found baker.
I also remember after the tank fight after escaping with Meryl this game feels just like a movie and started falling in love with snake.
Then when I came up to the fight with psycho mantis I started to feel scared and actually thought my tv was hacked lol.
After days of asking friends how to beat him I learned switch the controllers. His death scene and last words really hit me.
At this point I was pretty educated with the game and story line but having to go back to get that sniper rifle was tense. By time I got back, had the sniper wolf fight I learned I’m caught, Tortured and then prisoned.
I had no idea what to do with the tomato sauce. Until I laid down and hit circle lol. Breaking out felt cool.
I also remember trying to get out of the caves was so stressful till I found a tiny hole to crawl through.
After shooting down liquid on the towers I felt so tuff.
Eventually moving onto disc 2 I knew this was already my favourite game.
The ninja kinda scared me but after fighting metal gear Rex and seeing the ninja friendly and helpful it made me so Angry and mad against Liquid seeing him crush grey fox.
I remember bending so desperate to kill Liquid.
Reaching the end of the game driving out while shooting into the car crash I was wondering why Liquid wouldn’t die.
I listened to all the fox die codec calls and couldn’t understand why I been used as a living biological weapon to kill who ever I’m in contact with. I felt like rat bait to poison other rats.
But finally after hearing Liquid say his final words “Foxxxxx!” Snake. “Dieeee”. I was so proud.
He had a heart attack lol. And I ended up with Hal.
Then the credits made me cry. That song touches. 10/10.
I love metal gear solid 1 such a great game
Best boss fights in this game were Psycho Mantis and Sniper Wolf. Man was she hard to beat with that camera system back then.
This game is the reason why I am a lifelong fan. It always will be a 10 out of 10 no matter how advanced video games go and one of the most important video games in history. 1st played mgs on a demo disc in 1998, got hooked and my brother bought the game for my birthday a few months later. Spent many hours having fun. The cinematics, voice acting, characters, story, music, its all good and so memorable. I honestly believed I was stuck when I came to psycho mantis but figured out how to beat him. Its a series that has gotten me through some tough times. One of the few series I'm very passionate about 👍
What we need is a Metal Gear 1and 2 remake from the ground up.
Instant classic, esp coming off of FF7. I was so happy I got to experience that cuz that shit was a game changer. Still waiting for the this to be available on the PS Store. I miss playing this game
I miss the Tenchu games
I remember Killzone 2 did a great job of incorporating MGS 1's style of boss fights into its story, even Killzone Mercenary on Covert felt like playing a first person Metal Gear, good times.
It would be interesting to have modern young reviewers who didn't get to know these masterpieces to review them on their own without any nostalgia bias, preferably without knowing the relevance of these titles.
The one thing that changed my life more than anything probably and the greatest work of art ever
The guard going off the side at 5:55 is funny.
Why are you guys doing a 1998 game review at 2022? There are many well done retrospectives about this classic.
My favorite game of all time and in my opinion, still the greatest.
Still the best videogame ever made. Still the best franchise ever made. Nothing else even comes close..
I feel like the PS1 games are the ones that really need remakes.
While I think that MGS3 is the best of the series, this game earns my respect for what it brought to the gaming table. It was the first time where there was a legitimate case for a video game being seen as an art form. Stuff that is commonplace today (such as cutscenses that uses the in-game engine as opposed to pre-rendered graphics) was revolutionary back then.
These days I was playing the Legacy Collection on PS3 and MG Rising, also hearing their stunning soundtracks. For example, MGS4 Act 5 alert theme "For Liberty" was such a game changing piece of music that puts you on the final edge of the action. It still give me goosebumps and chills on my skin every day. PlayStation brand is not PlayStation without a MGS game in its catalog. Definitely needs to come back, at least in the form of a fully a mind-blow remake in UE5. MGSV gameplay was on another level. If they incorporate MGSV's gameplay, with the strong narrative of the past games (don't care if i need to watch a 30-45 mins cutscene), then it could be the god tier MGS game for the history.
A remake of MGS3 (imo, the best and most complete of the saga) with the MGV gameplay + UE5 graphics would be the PERFECT GAME.
I never experience a game like this when I first play it for the first time , every thing of this game was ahead of everything else when it launch
They have too make another metal gear game am a big fan of metal gear I played every metal gear game they made. I love this game. I hope they make a remake I can't wait
if it's true that this game is getting the remake treatment, then it should be entirely built in something like Unreal Engine 5 using photo realistic textures where in still shots you can't tell if it's in game or a picture of a real location. this will pay homage to how the original game tried to look like a movie in the 90's
The game that has made me the man I am today.
Thanks Snake
I remember playing this in the 90's and well into the 2010's. The story is so amazing and well written
Brilliant. Also, It's literally Snake Pliskin, from escape from NY. Even the smoking. Don't know if Kojima admitted it yet.
Best series ever. Are you guys going through them?
"If we reviewed it today its an 8/10" 😂 in an era where games like hi-fi rush get 9s. MGS is arguably the greatest game of all time, toe to toe with final fantasy 7 for the greatest console game ever
One of the greatest games of all time, a game of my youth
Who got their hands on a copy of MGS: INTEGRAL??????
I love tenchu, need a remake of tenchu.
