The other games in the collection are fine versions, since they are higher resolution versions of Bluepoint's work on the HD Collection (mods can aldready unlock the res), but this one, despite some really, really cool extras, looks like ass and has severe input delay. It loses in the visuals and gameplay department to the GOG PC version with the fan launcher. If you get this one, it's for the extras, the others are cool but this one, not so much. I recommend the GOG version over itShow moreShow less

TLDR: MGS is a timeless classic that is well worth playing today. This Master Collection version has a few pros, but also has all the limitations of the original game on PS1 since it’s just emulation and introduces new issues, making it an objectively worse way to experience this great game. Let Konami know that this isn’t okay: write reviews and vote with your wallet. Metal Gear Solid is an amazing game, and I’m glad we now have all first five games on PC in one neat package but there are more cons than pros, making this release hard to recommend. Let’s cut to the chase: Pros: - Features every PS1 release of MGS and its Expansion Disc, Special Missions. PAL, NTSC-U, NTSC-J and MGS Integral are all available, regardless of your region of purchase. - Features a Screenplay Book and a Master Book, which are neat extras. - Potential for mods. Cons: - KB/M controls are beyond awful, because PS1 emulation. - 240p30, because PS1 emulation. - All games will drop frames in the same exact places the PS1 did, because PS1 emulation. - No graphics settings, because PS1 emulation – sensing a pattern yet? - No graphics improvements unlike what emulators can offer, such as Widescreen or fixes for affine texture warping (aka "wobbly polygons"). - All games upscale 240p to your monitor resolution using bilinear upscale, which looks very blurry. A toggle for bilinear filtering was added in a patch, as well as a scanline filter. - All games have audio issues. There are clicks and pops all over Codec calls, something known as audio dropouts. Furthermore, a lot of sound effects are not reproduced properly by the emulator. - Aspect ratio is ever so slightly stretched, though that is hard to notice without a side-by-side comparison. Fixed in a patch that allows for a 4:3, 16:9 (stretched) or the original, pixel perfect aspect ratio. - All games have noticeable input lag. - All games have issues with controllers analog sticks handling. It emulates a D-Pad, meaning you can only ever input one of eight direction while the original release allowed for a full 360° input on the analog sticks. This makes aiming and thus the game way harder and a lot of the Special Missions disc near impossible. I’m an MGS nerd and have been for more than 2 decades. I still have every MGS game on their original platforms. I know how this game is supposed to look, sound, feel and play like the back of my pocket. But you don't need to be a diehard fan or go on a pixel hunt to notice all of the aforementioned problems this release has. I wasn’t expecting much from this collection but I’m still disappointed. Until they patch this laundry list of issues (which they probably won’t) I can’t recommend this collection and would recommend playing MGS on Duckstation or any PlayStation system instead.Show moreShow less
game is solid but the port itself is liquid 7/10Show moreShow less
Just terrible, this is literally just a basic PS1 emulator with the ISOs bundled. The game outputs at 1080p and the framepacing is bad, if you play the EU version you will be playing the PAL version with the added 10% slowdown. There are zero scaling options, no scanlines and no shaders. The 1080p output is also bilinear filtered so it looks horrible, even worse than just booting a PS1 emulator with default settings. Also, why you didn't include the PC port?, it makes no sense. Now there is still some good things about these release, you get: - MGS Integral with the English subs. - NTSC and PAL versions of MGS 1 - NTSC and PAL versions of the VR Missions disc. - A MGS Master book, that to be honest is really underwhelming and has a lot of repeated content between the 3 MGS games. - The entire MGS Screenplay, which is really cool. To be honest, you want this game just to extract the ISOs to play legally in an emulator.Show moreShow less

If you start the game, scroll down to "options" and select "credits," you can see a comprehensive list of people who brought shame and embarrassment upon themselves and their families with this poorly implemented collection of ports and emulations. Congratulations, Konami. You've insulted an entire fan base and disgraced a legendary franchise...again. This is why nobody likes you.Show moreShow less
I love Metal Gear. My brother could never beat this game. I have now beaten it. I, like Liquid Snake, have surpassed my brother.Show moreShow less
runs poor, its just a ISO on a emulator that is poorly optimized. Better off emulating it so you can actually have settings for resolution, audio, etc.Show moreShow less
