STORY / GAMEPLAY The story takes place during the Cold War era and focuses on FOX's special forces redneck Solid Snake. This time his mission is to rescue a weapon designer and eliminate a super-weapon experiment. The game takes place in a variety of urban areas (including jungle settings). Snake's main purpose is to infiltrate, kill and destroy. He must hide at all times, moving in a stealthy way, vanishing all enemy bodies killed and use the environment (even feed from it) in order to survive. Apart from the armed enemies, Snake is called this time to encounter the wild life of the jungle (crocodiles and other species). His weaponry varies from simple darts (with anesthetic substances) to big projectile weapons. The fight is challenging, the enemies are very aggressive (new AI used), but Snake has already proved (in his previous missions) that he is pretty tough to kill. GRAPHICS / SOUND The game really pushes PS2 to its limits, featuring fantastic graphics with colorful backgrounds, characters plus some great visual effects such as explosions and more. The sound is fantastic as well, with multiple sound effects and a great intro song titled "Snake Eater" and performed by Cynthia Harell. This cool song reminds us of a James Bond movie. All you have to do is play and enjoy! | |
