The only way to get close to the secret cell is to get caught Guard 1: Don't move!! Big Boss: This Big Boss Infiltration accomplished.
Find the cell where they're holding Gray Fox. Check the walls!! Gray Fox: You made it, rookie. I'm Gray Fox. Metal Gear is the ultimate weapon - an all-terrain, nuclear-equipped, walking battle tank. When it's finished, a nuclear strike can be launched from anywhere on the planet. We must do everything we can to destroy it before it's completed. There's only one way to destroy Metal Gear. And the only person that knows how to do that, is Metal Gear's developer, Dr.
Drago Pettrovich Madnar. And he is being held prisoner somewhere inside this building. Find Dr. I've been expecting you The leader of the fortress of Outer Heaven, Big Boss! I gave this mission to you, a rookie, thinking I could use you to fool the rest of the world But you were too good. You went too far! Solid Snake! I'm not going down alone. I'm taking you with me!

To free myself of [Big Boss's] grip, to rid myself of these nightmares Subsequent games and sources use the date for both events. He's also the wary type, and especially so in his current predicament.
Wait I've got it! Gustava can speak to him! Is that the STB woman who was protecting you? Gustava is no ordinary woman. She is a seasoned professional. When we were captured, she alone managed to steal an enemy uniform and escape.
No doubt she's hiding somewhere in Zanzibar Land, waiting for her chance. The only thing I know is that she's wearing an enemy uniform. Don't be fooled by her enemy disguise The are no woman soldier in this fortress. That's all you need to know. Gustava is a woman. Why not set up an ambush someplace that only a woman would go?

Solid Snake: Madnar, did you kill Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar And it was I who caused Gustava's death on the bridge by contacting Gray Fox from the sewer! Give it to me!! It's not over yet If you skip all the cutscenes, MGS4 has a lot of great stuff — but redundant elements too, and a few duff sections.
The years have not been kind. Ranking: 7. After sorting her out, Big Boss finally accepts his nickname and christens this new merc paradise Outer Heaven. Weirdest bit : You can use X-ray vision, never explained, to look at the underwear of female characters during cutscenes.
This is a truly epic PSP game with a lengthy main game supplemented by numerous objectives and challenges. Series ranking: 3. Series ranking: 6. One for Metal Gear boffins only. Great, but hard to get hold of. The original MGS remains definitive. Obsessives only, and even then The card strategy is great, but Acid 2 is a much better take on the formula.
The surface interpretation is that, in an era where "war has become routine", the emotional trauma that creates such damaged individuals has also become routine. The unavoidable implication is that Metal Gear Solid is becoming routine in a wider sense, too, worn down by the repetition inherent to sequels.
It's worth pausing over the concept of repetition, however, because the word has negative connotations that are too strong. All games are built on repetition, even if only of the player's capabilities.
To be precise, conventional design depends on repetition-with-variation, creating the game's core mechanics and building a structure around them. The human mind adores learning and then mastering new skills, no matter how frivolous. The core of MGS4's design is repetition-with-variation, not just to bring MGS's history to a climax but to make a point about the commercial video game formula. Kojima stitches together a parade of Frankenstein's monsters that re-enact classic scenes in their image.
He makes his first appearances saving Snake from danger, just as Gray Fox did, and we then see the prettyboy of MGS2 has become another chimera, a monstrously sleek fusion of nanotechnology and human flesh. The repetition-with-variation goes much, much further.
Raiden is now a proxy for the cyborg ninja, but the character was also a proxy for Solid Snake and the player to start with. Everything in the 'new' Raiden has an old source, and the character's existing meaning is overwritten as he is absorbed under the repetition. This synthetic approach to characterisation shows, forcibly, that the future of a video game series is almost unbearably constrained by expectations from the past. This is not just a matter of changing locations, or era, or characters - all of which Kojima had tried before.
The main promotional image for MGS4 showed Solid Snake, his body arched back in what looked like a scream of pain, with his lower half dissolving into tiny silhouettes of guns, items and characters.
Snake's character is composed of his game history, and as a game character he is doomed to repeat himself. The most direct manifestation of this theme is the fourth chapter's return to Shadow Moses, the setting for MGS. At the chapter's opening, MGS4 turns into an emulated version of the original game, a fun few minutes that are explained away as Snake daydreaming on the plane.
On arrival at Shadow Moses, the nostalgia factor is off the charts, with the leap in fidelity and incredible snow effects going straight for the heart, helped along by old codec 'memories' scattered around. This repetition is exactly what some fans wanted: the return of classic Snake in a classic Metal Gear setting. But this is no homecoming.
Solid Snake is an old man, out of time, a 'normal' human being with no place on this nanomachine-led battlefield. And Shadow Moses, too, is old and decrepit, the familiar security systems rusted and useless.
It turns out to be infested by robots that mimic the walking patterns of the original's soldiers, their limited sensing range mirroring the older game's reduced sightlines. It's one of the toughest stealth challenges in MGS4 despite this, bordering on frustration, which itself repeats the original's less forgiving nature.
The player has their role too - or some do, at least. MGS4 is often described as a game 'for the fans', which is too simple, but in this specific instance it is going for the gut of those who were there a decade ago. Two generations of console technology later, it is impossible not to look around this awe-inspiring recreation of Shadow Moses and reflect on the gap personally: I was around 16 when I played MGS, and this section of MGS4 was the madeleine that brought those memories rushing back.
For each player, the level of introspection and impact will be individual, which for me makes Shadow Moses a conceptually perfect use of repetition. MGS4 is far from a perfect game, however, and Shadow Moses is one reason why. The game's opening locations are large and detailed environments, with packed interiors, full of multiple routes and opportunities to play around.
Whatever else the game is lining up in a narrative sense, it initially gets the balance between refining and updating the core MGS experience bang-on. Snake may be an old man but, in practice, he's still enormously capable and much more fluid to control than MGS3's Naked Snake thanks largely to the addition of a crouch walk. Problems arise when Kojima's narrative ambitions begin to encroach on and eventually smother the game underneath.
The cut-scenes are a big problem, but cut-scenes can be skipped. From the third chapter onwards, however, objective and environment design become much more linear, often just bookending cut-scene after cut-scene. The narrative keeps pulling you forward, faster and faster, but the interactive elements start to be phoned in along the way. Worse, stealth begins to be de-emphasised in favour of big set-pieces and half-baked variations, like tailing an enemy. What do you need help on?
