Players widely praise MGS3 as a masterpiece and one of the greatest games ever. [1][2][3] Some reviewers note the Master Collection port has technical issues like framerate loss and input lag. [4][5][6] Many recommend the game despite outdated controls, calling it a must-play. [7][8][9]

Not a review of the source material, which is still culturally significant a quarter-century later. The Master Collection release is cash-grab slop. All of the titles included suffer from framerate loss and input lag that sets in after about an hour of game time that is unfixable except by restarting the system entirely. The fact that such a basic memory leak bug hasn't been fixed after several years speaks to …

MGS3 is pure jungle energy. Half the time I’m a leaf, the other half I’m a mud-covered cryptid doing CQC on wildlife. But the story? That hit straight through the camo. Masterpiece. Eat snake. Become Snake. Feel pain. Master-Collection: Still peak.

MGS 3 Snake Eater is one of those games that is a forever GOAT. The Story is easily one of the best ever told in gaming. Game play is soooo much fun, and has so many different ways to take out enemies and find unique hidden items. Lastly the Unforgettable Characters that Kojima created here, are some of the best in gaming. Overall Easily one of Greatest Video Games Ever Made.

**Recommended.** I came to **Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater** expecting stealth. What I got was: * political drama * jungle survival * emotional damage * and a man who can defeat elite soldiers but still has to worry about leeches, poison, and whether the food in his backpack is rotten This game is ridiculous. And I mean that as the highest compliment possible. On paper, **Metal Gear Solid 3** sounds insane: a …

Mgs 3 is a masterpiece, this game is perfect in every way, even though it's the first chronologically, it looks great, the gameplay and graphics are improved compared to previous games (I'm not saying the graphics of MGS 2 and MGS 1 are bad, but the graphics here in MGS 3 are more polished). The story is the kind that leaves you thinking about your life after seeing the ending; this game is highly recommended. You …
