The original Metal Gear Solid games have been stuck on seventh generation hardware for what has felt like enterity, and I was delighted when this collection was announced. And while this collection isn’t entirely bad, it has issues.

For Metal Gear Solid 1, the game is a bit blurry and hard to see. Metal Gear Solid 2 is supposed to be 1080p, but is obviously at 720p. It also has compressed audio, which sounds awful compared to the other ports. The best game in the collection by far is Metal Gear Solid 3, having no issues on my end. The game is 1080p at 60fps. The only issue was that in the cave, my game freezed for half a second. However, it still suffers from compressed audio.

If you’re on PC, I cannot recommend this collection. Though, if you have no other options, than this collection will do just fine.

Edit: I don’t know if Konami dropped a secret patch or what, but now MGS2 is actually at 1080p. Although, like MSG3, the audio is compressed and the texture quality isn’t upscaled from the PS3/X360 versions. If you’re on PC, I would say you’re still better off emulating them and using mods, but for console users, this is a good option.
