"From the earliest moments that Metal Gear Solid was shown to the public, the game appeared to be destined for greatness. And of course, it has become the game that all other adventure-action games, and all other story-based games, mirror and imitate. Hideo Kojima's game blended great gameplay with theatrical sensibilities together in a way that many people had only dreamed of, but none had ever delivered. From its exquisite storyline and believable characters to the tiniest of details -- from tracks in the snow, to the sound of footsteps in puddles of water -- Metal Gear Solid has, without a doubt, reached the top of the game heap. The question isn't, 'Have you finished it?' But 'How many times have you finished it?'" - Doug Perry, IGN
