Metareview - Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

Metal Gear Solid 3 was released today, again. The remix, which includes the debut of online play, a new camera system, ports of the original MSX Metal Gear titles, and the addition of numerous other gameplay modes, spans two discs and is available for a mere $29.99. This substantial package has garnered an unprecedented Metacritic score of 99 (6 reviews). While this average is sure to drop in the coming days, there's no doubt that Subsistence has made an early bid for game of the year and has reassured current-gen gamers that the PS2 is far from dead. Peep the word:

• PSM Magazine (100/100) - "...we wish our review scale went to 11."

• IGN (98/100) - "For the price and the extras, you can't go wrong with Subsistence -- even for those that have played and beaten the first game once or several more times, it still can't be missed."

• Yahoo! Games (90/100) - "Subsistence is easily the greatest same-gen remake ever..."
