Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is here, bringing with it two very different but equally essential experiences that bring Snake's story to a close while wrapping up loose ends left by Snake Eater.

After years of speculation and rumors, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Peace Walker are finally getting another chance in the spotlight.

For the first time in many years, the Metal Gear Solid trilogy is available on modern systems. The Master Collection gives us the experiences we remember with three of the greatest games ever made and includes the majority of the content ever released for those games - including some new content for dedicated fans.

I love the Metal Gear Solid games. It was love at first sight after playing my first game at the age of seven. Ironically enough, it wasn’t Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation 1, but actually Ghost Babel, that one phenomenal spinoff released for the Game Boy Color. I then played Sons of Liberty (half a dozen times throughout my life), The Twin Snakes (the superior version of Metal Gear Solid, don’t hate me for being right), and then the magnificent Snake Eater, way back when the first HD ...

Nostalgia is a powerful tool, and Konami is banking on it with the Master Collection. This collection houses some of the best games from the franchise’s history stuffed in one package, but the Japanese publisher has done a poor job in convincing players they need to replay these once more. The problem isn’t with the quality of content in the games themselves, as all six are iconic and near masterpieces; it’s the quality in how they have handled transitioning the series into the modern age, giving us far from 4K or even “HD” as in the titles of many of the games. If someone has the ability to p...

Metal Gear, a franchise I came into half way. A franchise that captivated me with its cinematics, story and combined stealth and action elements. A franchise

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 presents Kojima's genius in a package that could, and should, have been so much more. There's a bunch of stellar games to dig into here, you're guaranteed a great time once you're actually playing this iconic series, but this is a franchise that deserved more. Where's the TLC? Where's the resolution bumps, refined controls, visual upgrades and so on? Konami has managed to add a few nice extras, and there's a good showing in terms of how many titles are packed in here, but the overall performance and presentation, given the power and potential at the d...

The absolute basic collection of the first five Metal Gear games with no improvements whatsoever. Only get it if you're a hardcore Metal Gear fan or wait for some fixes.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 could have been up there with the best retro collections published in the last few years, however, Konami has shown that all they care about by releasing a quick cash grab with no decent extras or even the best versions of the games included in the collection. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is an example of how NOT to treat beloved franchises that could still draw money by the name value alone… I hope Silent Hill isn’t next.

Unscored

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is packed with two of the most important Metal Gear games of all time. Peace Walker is a fun, energetic stealth-action game that holds some undervalued importance to the overall Metal Gear story. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots also finally emerges from the PS3's grave, and it is a true joy to experience today. This is the Metal Gear collection that we've all been waiting for, and it's proven to be well worth the wait.
