Snake Charts Number 3 Of all Time
IN the HISTORy of Gaming this is sounds like an achievement award well deserved ...as the ps2 has come to a halt for a new generation of Console PS3,It was time to honour the Titles which made the PS2 a dream to buy .
Metal Gear Solid 3 sNake eater back to the origins places in da history where one plays Snake the Father of the FAVOurite Solid SNake ..the game is a kool stealth game which brought in a hell lot of new innovations to the espionage game tactics by adding the concept of camoflauge ,decisions,Way u go in to the woods.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater came at a time during which the Metal Gear Solid franchise was smarting a bit. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was a stumble, thanks to its storyline, which ideally would have paralleled the complex storyline of a film like Being John Malkovich, but instead resembled the late night ramblings of a wired conspiracy theorist with cheesy Titanic references thrown in for good measure. MGS 3 solved that by embodying one of the most oft-thrown around terms of that year: the throwback. The series took the action all the way back to pre-Metal Gear 1964 and put players in the shoes of Snake, who must, like in all Metal Gear games, stop a nuke from being launched by a wacky cavalcade of terrorists. However, with director Hideo Kojima at the helm, even the outlandish and the somewhat-predictable took on a serious tone, and Snake Eater's riveting storyline and emphasis on survival put it above and beyond other stealth action titles that might otherwise have stolen Snake's stripes. It was undoubtedly one of the pinnacles of the PS2 experience.

well here is my review on dis game its--->
With two well received and highly praised Metal Gear Solid games, Konami releases the third installment to the series: Snake Eater. Unlike the previous games, Snake Eater takes a step backwards and visits the past, during Cold War period. Stealth espionage moves out of buildings and factories and into the wilderness. Luckily, the game still feels like a Metal Gear game. Konami wanted this series to go out with a bang and Snake Eater does with a very loud one.
Instead of creeping around corners and hiding behind boxes, the player is challenged with environmental camouflage. As 'Snake', the player is dropped into the jungles of Russia with a mission of espionage. You start out with some very basic survival gear and your communication codec. You will have a team of specialist and contacts who will provide you with helpful information, mission data, combat techniques, and (most importantly) on survival. As you start with a limited about of equipment, you must make your way through the jungles (and some manmade facilities) and find equipment which you can use. Your main weapon is, of course, stealth. You will pick up a variety of masks and outfits which you will use to blend in with your environment. A percentage of your stealth index will keep you notified of how well you blend in; the better you blend in, the lower the chance of the enemy spotting you. Of course, the enemy isn't blind… When and how you get spotted depends on your stealth index and the distance between you and the enemy. And there is good reason to stay hidden as the enemy is more persistent then ever… If you are spotted, the enemy will stay sharp to the presence of the enemy (Snake) nearby. If things get messy, just pull out one of Snake's many weapons ranging from handguns, machine guns, grenades and even rocket propelled grenades. Besides the enemy, you will have to stay aware of Snake's physical condition and stamina. As the focus of this game is on survival, you will have to make sure Snake is up to health. He will become embedded with bullets, become sick and even break bones. You'll have to use the proper tools and items to heal physical ailments, or you will continually lose health. Snake will lose stamina as you progress and the rate at which he loses stamina is depended on activeness. You will have to find and hunt for food. Nearly all areas have one form of edible food; rodents, serpents, fish, fruits, rations, etc. will restore stamina based on taste. You also have a backpack, which carries extra food, medical supplies, and extra weapons and items. Even though survival in the open jungle might appear to be frustrating, it really isn't. Though there are many tasks at hand, the game never feels overwhelming (unless you make it so by going trigger happy, which is fine). The difficult is just right and the game is paced perfectly between great gameplay and superb cut-scenes. Snooping around enemy territory, fighting those amazing bosses, hunting, watching and listening to the story… It all plays and feels like a true Metal Gear Solid game. The game will take about 12-15 hours to complete but lacks much in terms of replay value. Of course, the adventure is worth a second trip through.
The game is also full of some excellent visuals. The wide open areas that are alive with activity and look amazing! Characters, levels and machinery are all designed well. The lighting and special effects are also very good; the fire effect looks are unbelievably good! The real time cut-scenes are better then ever, with excellent motion effects and the new Snake's point of view camera (triggered by R1 buttons during cut-scenes) during some scenes make the cut-scenes more engrossing. The only graphical flaw is the minor slowdown in sometimes, which is easily ignored.
There isn't much to say about the sound except that it's excellent. The surround sound is delivered very nicely and the voice acting is worthy of an award. The music is very well done and fits the situations perfectly. The original songs are also great and carry that 1960s feeling. But the transition between music is rather abrupt.
Where the previous two games raised questions, this one brings answers. The story is by far the most enjoyable chapter of the three MGS games. You start out on a mission to rescue a weapons scientist and retrieve information important to the US. On your mission, you'll learn new details which reveal that there is more to the story then what you know. The story then builds into a deep and perfectly crafted story which is easy to follow but never dull.
Snake Eater may be different from its predecessors in some ways but the game is very enjoyable and fun. The audio and visual presentation of the game is very well done. The game looks and sounds (musically) like it's from the 60s. The gameplay, with its new elements, makes for a refreshing experience. And the story is the best of the trilogy. Combine all of these factors and you have one of the best games on the Playstation 2.
Final words: Another worthy addition to the Metal Gear Solid series. A must buy for any PS2 owner.
