Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection (PS2)

[Marvin Wong]

So basically, this collection includes...

Metal Gear Solid, the Metal Gear Solid 2 director's cut (Substance), and Metal Gear Solid 3(Subsistence).

Is this another way to make money for Konami? It's sad they didn't include the exclusive gamecube's The Twins Snake. Otherwise it would be great for all MGS fans. It just releases today (march 18th). This game cost 30$

I actually purchased this myself. It's a pretty solid deal, but I am disappointed because the MGS 3 portion is just the first disc of Subsistence, meaning that the two MSX port games (Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake) do not come with the package.

I am contemplating returning it because of this. I already have MGS 1. I sold MGS 2 a while ago and my current MGS 3 copy is unplayable (and it's the original version, not Subsistence).

My question is, "Are Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake worth playing? I'm wondering if returning the collection to get Subsistence with the two MSX ports is worthwhile. If the games suck, I'd rather just read what happens online and go with that.

They couldn't put Twin Snakes on there even if they wanted to.

And anyways, the original is better than Twin Snakes.

Also, the main reason for this package is because people outside of the MGS fanbase are interested in MGS4, and this is a way for people to get all 3 games cheaply to catch up on the story and etc....also to make money. If it wasn't, they would hand it out for free.
