Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PS2)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was already a phenomenal game, considered by many to be the best int the series. Despite that, Kojima and Konami decided to release an updated version on the PS2 that fixed some of the title’s issues, while adding on some impressive new content.
The biggest complaint about Snake Eater lied in its camera, which didn’t have the full range of motion you might be used to in a third person action game. Luckily, Subsistence did away with that entirely allowing for full 3D camera motion, and making it much easier to look around the environment and spot enemies. This dynamically changed the way the game was played, and the experience still let you keep the old camera if you wanted to. Besides some other small gameplay changes, a second disc added on a surprising amount of new features. First and foremost was the addition of an online multiplayer mode, followed by a boss rush mode, a Snake vs. Monkey minigame, and the inclusion of both original Metal Gear titles from the MSX. You really couldn’t ask for a more complete package from a Metal Gear game.
