If you’re a fan of the Metal Gear Solid franchise just stop reading this and buy it now, this is an absolute must have for any true fan of the series.

Having played through the games multiple times, I’ve found the games remain as gripping and engaging as ever. If however you want a more logical reason to buy this, then it’s simply value for money. As well as MGS2, MGS3 and Peace Walker you get a tonne of VR (Virtual Reality) side missions as well as over 130 trophies to earn.

Given that to complete the campaign of any one of these games takes about 10–20 hours on average, watching all cutscenes and codec conversations. Add in completing all the extra missions, unlocking trophies and playing each game multiple times (once is never enough) and you’re looking at over a hundred hours of entertainment. In simple dollar terms that’s less than a dollar for an hour’s enterta­inment. Given that a trip to the movies these days costs about 10–20 dollars for one to two hours of entertainment, this game is clearly fantastic value for money.

At the end of the day you’re buying a fantastic series and getting three games for the price of one, simply put with this game you can’t lose.

Loving this game heaps. Brings back fond memories of being back at school and the days of hiring games from video shops. :)

Three games on one disc, who could complain with that--

Looks great in HD, flow of the game is smooth. Trophy compatibility each holding a platinum of their own. Bonus original Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2 game (came across this is the main menu when playing Snake Eater)

Avid fans of the Metal Gear Solid series should consider…no wait, don't consider, just buy it. :)

MGS3 is as amazing as ever. You play as legendary Big Boss before he has ascended the ranks. Great stealth gaming, survive in the wilderness, fight great bosses, explore, original camo concept very cool to play with. The HD makes everything a lot smoother and can make things like finding those damn Kerotan frogs so much easier. Comes with original Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2, great nostalgia, or just cool little arcade games if they're new to you. Boss and monkey catching modes have been removed which is a shame. The one cheat code has been removed, but this is hardly a complaint. Trophies are fun and have a bit of variety, and the difference in boss battles makes it more rewarding and the platinum isn't too hard and waaaay more fun to get than most games. The camo trophy is glitched so when you start a new game choose ‘I like MGS3!’, you will thank me.

MGS Peacewalker for me was a game I missed by not owning a PSP so it was interesting to finally get that chance. It is NOT traditional MGS action. A lot of the game is based on managing your base and completing ranked missions, which I found took away from the fun of exploring. Stealth is pretty much reduced to a crouch walk. There are multiple control schemes to match play styles of other titles in the series. There are some online trophies that are only attainable through online play, in a community which is dead unless you can convince some others to play. The graphics look quite smooth but it is still pretty easy to miss some items.

Haven't had much of a chance to play MGS2 HD, sorry. But it is a big game, though skating has apparently been removed, take that as positive or negative. A lot more akin to Metal Gear Solid but with a few little extra features. Very complicated storyline, but not really crucial to gameplay.
