This is the only series I like that combines stealth and action and combines it with an utterly deep story that brings it all together. Metal Gear Solid is still the top in my book - it doesn't have too convoluted of story or humongous cut scenes - just good characters and solid game play and ... Snake? Snake! Snaaaaaaake! Memorable lines!

All the rage in 1998. It seemed like the first great 3rd person mission tactical game. A great story, good play control, difficult levels and intense action made this game unique. I bought this for the Dreamcast emulation tool. Pretty cool. Still wish I had it!
