"Fantastic game, but not on 3DS"
2 stars"

Metal Gear Solid 3 is truly a magnificent game, but if you want to play it, do yourself a favour and get the HD collection on Xbox 360, PS3 or Vita. The 3DS version, whilst slightly improved and with fairly good 3D effects, has an atrocious frame-rate that makes gameplay choppy at best, and ruins the fluent, enjoyable experience of this masterpiece.

If you MUST play this on 3DS (which I don't recommend at all), then make sure you have a Circle Pad Pro to play this game with.

"A classic gets (another) re-release."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

One of, if not the best in an excellent series. The port stays faithful to the original as released on the Playstation 2, but retains the vastly improved camera controls from the Subsistence re-release. Was disappointed to see that nothing (beyond the aforementioned camera) is included from Subsistence as well as the hidden minigame “Guy Savage” and “Snake vs. Monkey” both being omitted (though the latter's omission is understandable due to it using elements from Ape Escape – a Sony owned franchise).

However, this is all nitpicking, as the game is pure quality through and through and a definite “must-buy” for stealth-action fans and anyone who appreciated Kojima's previ­ous work.

"Great Port/Remake"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is by far my favourite MGS game and lucky me they put it on the 3ds. Also they gave it MGS4 controls which help a lot during gameplay. Anyone new to the Metal Gear series could also play this without missing any story of the earlier games as it's set as a prequal to the other games

Description

From the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, a new 3D experience re-imagined from one of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past, comes Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the world was torn in two between East and West. It was the beginning of a new era- the Cold War.

October 16, 1962. The President of the United States received word that the Soviet Union had deployed nuclear missiles in Cuba. The world trembled in fear as the prospect of nuclear war loomed ever closer. After days of tense negotiations, the Soviets finally agreed on the 28th to withdraw their missiles from Cuban soil. With the resolution of this incident, later to be known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, it seemed that humanity had survived yet another threat to its existence.

However, there was a secret condition in the deal that put an end to the crisis. Nokolai Stepanovich Sokolov, a Soviet scientist who had defected to the West, was to be sent back to the Soviet Union. The U.S. government agreed to this stipulation, and returned Sokolov back to his native land. Little did they know that Sokolov was to be the designer of a nightmarish weapon. Now, with Sokolov back in their hands, the Soviets are ready to resume its development. If this weapon is completed, it will mark the beginning of a new age of fear.

August 1964. Realizing at last the urgency of the situation, the CIA forms a plan to recapture Sokolov. They dispatch the covert FOX unit to Sokolov’s research facility, located to the south of the great Soviet fortress of Groznyj Grad. Led by former SAS member Major Zero, FOX is a next-generation special-forces unit that operates both as a specialized combat group and as a covert intelligence outfit. The FOX unit’s modus operandi is to send a single agent, backed by radio support from afar, into enemy territory to carry out solo sneaking missions.

Features:

  • Experience an all-new re-interpretation of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, previously released on PlayStation 2 with over 4 million copies sold, in 3D for the first time ever.
  • Auto-stereoscopic 3D viewing capability that endeavors to create a rich jungle world with natural depth in settings of trees, rock/stone, water and more.
  • ‘Photo Camo’ system utilizing the built-in camera technology of the hardware bringing customized stealth and camouflage options to the player. By snapping a photo in the real world, players will be able to use the same image as a camouflage pattern applied to Snake’s uniform within the game.
  • Utilising the Gyro Sensor, players will become one with Snake through specialized tilt mechanics throughout the game design. As Snake climbs trees, or traverses bridges and other environmental obstacles, players will be in danger of falling based on the balancing of the system.
  • An intuitive menu utilizes the touch screen for quick and easy equipping of items and weapons.
