I will not review each game as that would take quite a chunk out of my life and because I decided to review this package as a whole.
This great package contains Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.
If you haven't played ANYTHING metal gear solid-related then this is your chance to do so, and prepare for the gigantic title that is Metal Gear Solid 4.
This is perfect for anyone missing a few titles from the series as it's currently very low priced (I got it from a seller here at about [...]). And getting all 3 titles for that is, well, a steal.
Yes, it does not come with ALL the nifty bonus discs that compromise either MGS 2 or 3 but really, if you just want to have the ... Read More:

Included in this set are three exceptional games. As has been said far too many times, these games have "redefined the stealth genre". Of course, Metal Gear was about all there was to the stealth genre for years, so what this means is that they are highly improved sequels.
Now that I've brought up Metal Gear, it may be pertinent to mention to prospective buyers that Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake do not come in this packaged deal. It is a shame that they called this the "essential" collection while leaving out the first two games.
The other games are great though, and worth the purchase. Grab the two-disc special edition of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater if you want to play Metal Gear 1 & 2 though. ... Read More:

OK I'm going against the grain a bit here, but honestly I grew up with the series and loved the originals from NES through PlayStation. However, if you are looking to jump into this game to play a few hours a week this is NOT the game for you! Half the game is stupid plot cinemas, and while the voice acting and graphics are above average it's not really as engaging as you would expect it to be. Furthermore, the controls are really frustrating, if you are used to X being enter for PS/PS2 and PS3 games then you have to get used to the O buttong being the default enter button...sounds simple enough but trust me it's frustrating. Also the close quarters combat mode, which is vital to a stealth game consistenly does not act the way you want it ... Read More:
