(This review is long overdue and it is just now that I have found the guts to make one for this game)
Snake Eater - Cynthia Harrell (MGS3)
What a thrill
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and i'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme!
I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way i fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream, snake eater
Someday you go through the rain,
Someday you feed on a tree frog,
It's ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light
I give my lifeNot for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way i fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream, snake eater
This song is the original sound track for one or if not the best game I have ever played for the Playstation 1,2 and 3. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Snake Eater and last but certainly not the least Metal Gear 4 Sons of the Patriot. Among all those games MGS2 is a bit of a letdown not because of the plot or gameplay but because of the lead protagonist (raiden). After MGS 1 we were hoping that we get to play as Solid once again but we were let down by the developers. Nonetheless they have redeemed themselves on the release of MGS3 Snake Eater. The game was set in the 60's during the cold war era in which the original "Snake" is still learning the ropes of ultimately being the Big Boss by killing his mentor the "Boss". For the people new in the series, the Boss is the mentor of Naked Snake or Snake. She basically taught Snake everything he knows. In the story Snake was sent for a standard rescue and extraction but things got more complicated than that with the Boss defecting (betraying) sides and giving Volgin (antagonist) 2 portable nukes in which he fires later on thus making things more complicated than it is. To prove that the Americans have nothing to do with the detonation and also to prove that snake is innocent as well. They sent Snake to kill the Boss and to recover the Philosopher's legacy. I could go on and tell you the story but this would mean nothing unless you play the game and experience the plot on your own. Action packed, full of suspense with a hint of love story on the side. It is the perfect James Bond-ish movie, the only difference is that the hero is no Suave Brit guy but rather an American grunt for the military, who gave it all and kept none for himself. Making snake the tortured soul in which he must kill the person/comrade whom taugh him everything he knows. Soundtrack is superb, voice acting is outstanding and gameplay is very addicting. Replay value is well worth it with lots of hidden items and information you need to look for. Overall the game would have been a really good movie because of it's story and a perfect game because of... well Snake of course. In a nutshell this is a must have for every gamer out there who are looking for the overall experience and thrill of being a part of one of the best games of all time.
