From the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear
Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear
Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever.
Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty,
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker,
the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the
epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise.
The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo
Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth
action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with
over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret
agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking
missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even
the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a
special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is
the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of
figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through
enemy territory undetected.
The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends
seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive
research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society.
These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of
entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video
games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content
business.

Customer Reviews
By Nathan (A must have for Metal Gear Solid fans.)
The Metal Gear Solid HD collection is just what it says it it. A
remastered version of Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, and Peace Walker for
the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The description does not say it, but you
are actually getting the Substance and Subsistence versions of Sons of
Liberty and Snake Eater, respectively. This includes all the extras
included on those special re-releases (My favorite being the fully
controllable camera on Subsistence), minus the Snake VS Monkey mini game
in Snake Eater. The remaster looks great in 1080P HD. Frame rate from
what I can tell so far is a steady and constant 60 FPS. Altogether, I
would say that this re-release, despite the exclusion of Metal Gear
Solid (which is only $10 on the PSN for PS3 owners), is a must buy for
anyone who wants to experience Peace Walker, Sons of Liberty, and Snake
Eater again in remastered HD.

There have been a great deal of HD collections coming out lately. Most
giving you trophy or achievement support along with the updated visuals.
The Metal Gear Solid HD collection is not different. But the package
seems worth it mainly because of just how much you're going to get from
these games. By bringing you the Substance version of MGS2 and the
Subsistence version of MGS3 you are getting much more than your money's
worth here. Not to mention you are still getting Peace Walker.
There isn't much need to discuss the story of Metal Gear here. In the first place, we'd be here all day just trying to discuss what it all means. And in the second place, the majority of you getting your hands on this have probably already experienced these games once before. I will only say that the story of the saga is absorbing, confusing and a lot of fun. Gamers have been absorbed by the themes of these games for quite some time, but experiencing them again isn't always so bad. The cutscenes are usually good. Some of them are a little long, but they're very well done. Complete with great voice acting, humor, drama and action. The cinematic experience of Metal Gear Solid is a jack of all trades.
It is unique, however, to see how these games differ. Despite all being Metal Gear Solid titles they all look, feel and control very differently. With Metal Gear Solid 2 harboring the closest to the original game while Metal Gear Solid 3 gives you a ton of freedom to actually take several different approaches to each particular area. And while Peace Walker is much more straightforward than the third, it still allows for a lot of freedom gameplay wise. This means that each game is actually quite unique. And playing all three side by side by side in this manner helps to showcase that we weren't just getting the same old thing from one game to the next. They all retain their stealth elements but approach them in very different ways.
Trophy and achievement support has been added to the games. This is sure to delight some of the most hardcore Metal Gear fans. And it's nice to see that Hideo Kojima has a sense of humor about it in some regards. The visuals are also crisp in HD. Regardless of the HD or not, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 actually still look rather good even compared to todays standards. The aesthetic design is still unique in both games. It doesn't feel new, but it's easy to be drawn in thanks to the details. Realized in HD everything looks smoother and is now presented to players in widescreen.
The only downside to the visual structure is Peace Walker. It doesn't look as good as some may have hoped. It is understandable, however. The game was designed for a smaller screen than whatever it is you're playing it on. On the PSP it looks nothing short of fantastic. But blowing up the picture in this way is going to cause for some blurry textures. It also lacks quite the amount of detail due to being on the PSP as well. Likewise, since the experience was designed for a portable system it plays as such. On the other hand, however, you can use your PSP save data to play if you wish.
The best part, however, is that with the exception of Metal Gear Online from Metal Gear Solid 3, you get all the extras from the two games. The VR Missions from Metal Gear Solid 2 are still there. As are the snake tales. Metal Gear Solid 3 also includes the original Metal Gear 1 and 2 (something the essential collection didn't have). The extras were more than we expected then and they're still nice to have here as well.
The lack of the first Metal Gear Solid is somewhat regrettable but it is hard to imagine that the transition to HD would've been kind to the original game. Given how Peace Walker was treated visually, the first game might not really be that good to look at in HD. The limitations of the Playstation graphically don't make for a great transition to High Definition. For those who can't be without the original Metal Gear Solid, however, you can easily head over to the PSN and download it from there. It won't be HD, but you'll still be able to experience the game and story again.
More than likely those who pick up this collection will have already experienced these games before. And they're picking it up to re-experience them in HD. If you haven't experienced Metal Gear Solid before the HD collection is one of the finest ways to experience it. Given the cinematic quality of the games themselves, HD alone actually can justify a purchase. They're good games worth re-exploring for fans. And worth diving into for those who are curious to experience them. It's three games in one (five, if you include Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2) and a very enjoyable collection.

By E. Luna (One of the best series in gaming, remastered)
I was 5-6 years old when Metal Gear Solid came out. Honestly, when I
first played it, I couldn't comprehend the story. It all went over my
head. But as I got older, I just fell in love with the series. Once I
was old enough to understand the story, I just had to play every single
game in the series. I even went so far as to play through the original
Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 when they were released with subsistence.
This marks the 4th time I purchase Metal Gear Solid 2, the 3rd time I
purchase Metal Gear Solid 3, and the 2nd time I purchase Peace Walker. I
would purchase them again if they were re-released. For fans of the
series: do yourselves a favor. Don't hesitate! Purchase this set so you
can play them in HD. Not too mention, that it is so awesome to be able
to have almost the entire series available to play on the PS3, Portable
Ops being the only notable exception. For those that are complaining
about the lack of MGS 1 being included in this set, you can purchase it
on the PSN. Once again, this set is spectacular in many ways and is
totally worth buying even if it's a quadruple, triple, or double dip.
