Metal Gear 2 Snake's Revenge
Reviewed by Zac
Well..there is tons and tons of things (all good) i can say about the
Metal Gear Series (Metal Gear, Snake's Revenge, Metal Gear Soldi)! I
have never played Metal Gear, so I am not totally familiar with the
plot of it. I have tried to read up on it, but haven't had great luck.
Well my brother got snakes revenge when I was like five years old. I
looked through the booklet and thought the game was cool just cuz
it had really neat looking guns in it! Then I sold the game, or some
little bastard stole it, I don't know. I then thought about the game
one day and almost couldn't remember the name of it. I was looking
through some discount games at a local video store that was closing
down, and found it for nine bucks. and older friend/male babysitter
helped me beat it. We sat down and beat it in one night.
Graphics 9 out of 10
The graphics were very good for a game then. The stages had a
great overhead view, especially the one that was like in a dessert.
The people look pretty good, the enemies actions are not too
predictable. Nothing compares to the latest in the sequel (metal
gear solid) but this one is damn good.
Music and Sound 9 out of 10
Well I can't pop it out and listen to it because right now I don't have
my NES, please don't send me threatening e-mails because I sold it,
but I really wanted a the music. From what I remember didn't get
too annoying, and the sound was pretty good, and gunshots and
stuff were pretty well.
Game Challenge 10 out of 10
I couldn't figure out what to do myself, so i had to get help. the
game was very difficult, I am not gunna lie, but it was all definitely
worth it! I mean that too, you get to find out more info on big boss
(your war-hero dad). I love the plot of the series. the game is tough
to find all stuff, but it is really nice how it makes you find things,
and how they all come into use, it doesn't make you find stuff that
you never have to use. It also uses the aspect of sneak attacks, like
if you don't have the silenced guns, you are looking for a
battle if you fire upon enemies.
Game Play-Fun 11 out of 10
Every once in a while i give a game one point higher then the max.
the game play gets this special award. It is incredible..I didn't fully
appreciate it until I beat MGS. which I have since beat several times.
it is fun, I wrote about it more in the introduction/briefing.
Frustration
It was kind of frustrating..to be honest. i couldn't do it alone. I got
help, and now I could beat it by my self, but not alone. It would help if
you had someone help you that know what was going on. It is real hard
to find some of the items you need. It takes a lot of exploring, some of
which is very risky because of the enemies.
Replayability 9 out of 10
I would love to take it out now and start playing..but I can't cuz I don't
have the game...or the NES. but..if you had a hell of a time the first
time beating it, then you might wanna sell it afterwards, but don't
because you will eventually wanna dig it out and replay the the game
just so you can here the plot again with big boss and such.
Game Value
I think the game would be worth ten bucks..or so, I would pay ten bucks.
to someone that has never beat it, or played it, fifteen isn't way out of
line. The game is definitely worth playing, especially now since video
games for the NES are really cheap.
Overall 11 out of 10
I can't stress enough how good this plot is, I would elaborate, but I don't
like to ruin it for people, a definite winner for the NES. It is worth the
hours, days, weeks, or whatever time you have to spend on it. I would
love to watch some one beat it for the first time, just to see there eyes
light up as the watch the plot unfold and grow. This is the very best
of plots for a series of games that I have ever played/seen.
