Metal Gear Solid 3

Metal Gear Solid 3

I consider myself a Metal Gear Solid fan.  While I never owned the original Nintendo version, Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation really sold me on the series.  So, I’m a little bit embarrassed to say that I never completed Metal Gear Solid 3; in fact, I really didn’t play much of it.  Luckily, I’ll have a new format to play and beat in on with the 3DS.  It was hard for me to get started playing because the previous player left Solid Snake in between three guards.  I was able to dispatch my foes and got to see how everything felt on the 3DS.  First off, the face buttons are essentially your right control stick on a regular control.  At first it felt kind of strange rotating the camera around using the face button, but a few minutes into the game, it felt like second nature.  It was wise to us the face buttons to act as the right control stick; otherwise this game would have been a pain in the ass to play.  What little bit I played was entertaining and am curious how the entire package will shape up.
