So I've Finally Played Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater...

So after the release of Metal Gear Solid 2, Kojima and the team quickly got to work on their next sequel, with the plan being that it would become a launch title for Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 3. The team planned a lot of the technical aspects of the game around the power of the new hardware, but due to the fact that the new system wouldn’t release until the holiday season of 2006, the development of Metal Gear Solid 3 was moved back to the PlayStation 2, and it would ultimately release in November of 2004, a whole two years ahead of the original schedule. And while sequels in the Metal Gear series can definitely be controversial, this one would go on to become the majority of player’s favorite game in the series. And on top of that, returning viewers will know that an upcoming remake of this game is the entire reason I started this series in the first place, so there’s a little bit of excitement going in for me too. So is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater really the best game in the Metal Gear franchise so far, or does it fall short of what came before it? Well, let’s talk about it.
