About
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the prequel to the entire Metal Gear series. Most of the series' defining gameplay elements have been carried over and as before, Snake must use stealth and wits rather than brute force to infiltrate enemy zones and eliminate his major adversaries. Unlike the previous games, this installment takes place in a large outdoor jungle. Snake is able to use camouflage, climb trees, hide in tall grass or wear clothes that make him less noticeable.
What players say
Widely regarded as the most beloved entry in the series and one of the PS2's finest, players describe a tense jungle-survival stealth experience with rich camouflage and CQC systems, standout boss fights like The End, and an emotional, gut-punch finale wrapped in 60s spy-movie atmosphere. Japanese fans echo this, calling it a masterpiece with deep infiltration freedom and an unforgettable closing battle.
