Critical Close-up: Metal Gear Solid
You know, I never really talk about MGS1 or the two old MSX games that came before it. To me, the juicy part of the series (from an analytical point of view) began with MGS2, and I’ve always wanted to do that justice first. But the folks over at BunnyHop have done a pretty great job with their 2 part video critique:
I found myself shrugging pretty frequently when it nitpicks on retroactive continuity choices or points out the unoriginality of the game. While everything they say is true, and although the amount of research done is fantastic, I feel like it was put in there to demonstrate how knowledgeable they were, without much of a point. The final evaluation is positive of course. I suppose the video is more of an explanation than an argument, and by that standard, it’s really helpful and smart!

“Sword” video (Metal Gear Rising)
Here, just as Raiden is getting his final cybernetic upgrades, he gets a flashback to when he was a child and Solidus killed a prisoner with a knife. He tells Raiden that “there is honor in killing with a blade”, and slits the throat. He tells Raiden that this is his future.

I bet you can’t wait until E3 now, where there’ll be a playable demo. Platinum Games is going to give you a taste of their gratuitous action that Summer is all about.
