So as you crawl, hide, duck for cover and silently take out your enemy, the experience on the XBox One is pure gaming bliss! You can even find rare gems to help build your army and even rescue animals thanks to a nameless NGO who wants these creatures to survive in this warzone.Įnvironment design is another highlight as is exploring this rich and diverse world by foot, vehicles, horseback and even with a trusty dog who shares a similar trait to Snake. I also like how the game slow downs when you get spotted by an enemy in order to take them out before they take you down … not to mention you are alerted by the famous Metal Gear Solid alert noise. taking out guards slowly, alarms and lights), you will have a much more enjoyable experience opposed to going in like Rambo. Nonetheless, it’s all about stealth and if you play the game like this (e.g. I mean where do you start with the gameplay? It’s almost perfect except that you cannot save mid mission which does get annoying when you need to restart as the checkpoints are not that forgiving. With that said, the gameplay of Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain is brilliant, particularly all the tricks of the trade that Snake has at his disposal!
The first part of the game or prequel mission serves as a tutorial which teaches the players the control mechanics of the title which is fleshed out more when you return to your abandoned oil rig with Ocelot (Troy Baker) who helps you fine tune your mercenary skills at “mother base”. Snake will also employ his amazing stealth techniques to defeat hundreds of enemies.
#METAL GEAR SOLID V REVIEW SERIES#
However unlike the original game, Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain is a true interactive blockbuster on the XBox One which easily makes this one of the best games in the series which had my glued to this console from start to finish as I became the legendary Snake. When it comes to gameplay, Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain is an open world action adventure game that requires the player to help Snake rebuild his army in order to defeat Cipher. Cassette tapes are also used to help progress the story. That’s a bit weird because the technology is far from 1984… but then again this game is somewhere in the middle of the franchise. The game is also set in 1984 as you attempt to liberate Afghanistan and Zaire from not just Cipher but also the Russians. So here we are 17 years later and both old and new gamers can experience the enigmatic hero Snake who is perfectly voiced by actor Kiefer Sutherland who gives this virtual character an element of realism and emotion. At the time, it was one of the most revolutionary games which really turned this franchise into a world wide hit.
The game is also directed by Hideo Kojima who successfully takes the franchise to a whole new level of immersion which makes Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain one of the most cinematic games to ever grace the gaming world.Īs a history lesson, the original Metal Gear Solid game was released in 1998 which has spawned a variety games in the franchise and actually got me into console gaming.
Unfortunately for the denizens of Earth, their power once again threatens our freedom and to compound the situation even further, Cipher are developing a new Metal Gear called the ST-84. Welcome back to the Metal Gear Solid universe as we are once again introduced to legendary and iconic video game character “Snake” ( aka Big Boss) who awakes from a nine year coma and is forced to rebuild his mercenary army known as the Diamond Dogs to end the reign of the organisation of Cipher responsible for the destruction of the Militaires Sans Frontières.
