8.0 Presentation
Each menu, story and element are presented exactly the way they were when each game was released.
8.5 Graphics
Each game is an excellent snapshot of the visual prowess on their systems at their time of release.
8.5 Sound
Like the graphics, the sound quality of each title hasn't lost a step across the decade's worth of play in this collection.
9.0 Gameplay
Full of stealth, action and plots worthy of Hollywood films, these three titles are classics of gaming.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Metal Gear Solid has always been stocked with extras; since these are basically reprints of the games, you barely lose anything (with the exception of Subsistence).
8.8
Great OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
