Here we have a game world, a set of tools and a set of obstacles, and that’s about it. If Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots sometimes felt like a game of cut scenes linked by sequences that you might actually, you know, play, then Ground Zeroes redresses the balance. Fans of the series across PS One, PS2, PSP and PS3 will spot echoes of Metal Gear Solid 3, Peace Walker and Portable Ops, but this is the first time Metal Gear has adopted a sandbox mentality, with large, more open levels, multiple routes and a range of approaches. He just is.Īnd one thing Ground Zeroes does very successfully is introduce Snake to a new style of Metal Gear. Where lesser stars try to be cool but just end up feeling generic, Snake doesn’t. It’s almost worth the steep admission price just to see him back in action: the original and the best espionage action hero the one and only (well, sort-of) Snake.Ĭlad in a shiny black leather stealth suit, Metal Gear mullet still in place, it’s a joy to see him back doing what he does best, hiding behind crates, lurking in the shadows, sneaking past the guards when backs are turned.Įven with David Hayter replaced for voice and motion capture duties by a surprisingly low key Kiefer Sutherland, there’s no question that you’re back in the presence of one of gaming’s most iconic heroes. Available on Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4 (version tested)
