This game is essentially MGS1 but made for the same hardware specifications as MGS2 (along with a lot of extra cutscenes). The start of the story of one of the most legendary video game characters of all time, this game is the definitive tactical-stealth experience. The techno-thriller and military themes in this game are strangely applicable to the real world and is supplemented by incredibly fun gameplay. Have not played the original version, but this version is still great.
