Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the prequel to the entire Metal Gear series. Most of the series' defining gameplay elements have been carried over and as before, Snake must use stealth and wits rather than brute force to infiltrate enemy zones and eliminate his major adversaries. Unlike the previous games, this installment takes place in a large outdoor jungle. Snake is able to use camouflage, climb trees, hide in tall grass or wear clothes that make him less noticeable.
At the height of the Cold War, America's greatest agent known as The Boss defects to the Soviet Union. At the same time, an extremist named Colonel Volgin fires an American-made portable nuclear missile at the Soviet design bureau OKB-754, sparking an international incident. In order for America to clear its name and avoid World War III, a man named John and codenamed Naked Snake is dispatched by the special forces unit FOX to assassinate the woman who taught him everything.
(even more because i beat It in european mode"very hard")
I love the stealth and survival mechanics as well as the long cutscenes (you should be ok with 15 min cutscenes if you plan to play this game).
I find new details every time i play through this game.
If the Metal Gear Franchise intrigues you, i would recommend playing this one first if you can get your hands on it.
