Electronic Gaming Monthly's Top 14 Metal Gear Games
60Metal Gear Solid is back! Well, sort of. With the recent release of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 and a recent trailer hyping up Metal Gear Solid Delta, I’ve had a lot of Snakes on my mind. And that got me wondering what Electronic Gaming Monthly thought of the Metal Gear Solid series back in the day. Who was their favorite Snake?
As it turns out, Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewed a total of 14 games in the long-running series between 1998 and 2008. That includes all of the mainline games up to the PlayStation 3 era, as well as many of the portable spin-offs and re-releases. Sadly, they did not get around to reviewing either of the Nintendo Entertainment System games and the magazine folded before hits like Peace Walker, Metal Gear Rising and Metal Gear Solid 5 came out. But don’t let that get you down, because we have a great selection of games to talk about. What we’re going to do today is countdown EGM’s best and worst Metal Gear games using their own words and scores. There’s no editorializing here, we’re just going to focus on what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, get put on a pair of quiet shoes and get ready for a sneaking mission, because this is Electronic Gaming Monthly’s top 14 Metal Gear games.
