Deja Review: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
We’re of the firm opinion that your time is too precious, too valuable to be spent reading a full review for a game that was already reviewed many, many years ago. What’s the point of applying a score to a game that’s old enough to be enrolled in the sixth grade? That’s why we invented Deja Review: A quick look at the new features and relative agelessness of remade, revived and re-released games. After a really shaky E3 demo, I was worried about how Konami’s 3DS remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 was going to turn out. I’m entirely willing to replay this game — one of my favorite games ever — on every platform Konami will sell it to me on, so I was hoping to at least have a good experience when dutifully playing it on the handheld.
To my relief, Metal Gear Solid 3D is a real, playable, enjoyable version of the game, and it’s on a handheld. Even without the crutch of a Circle Pad Pro attachment, the controls work fine! There are some compromises thanks to the small format — but there are also a few things that the 3DS version does better.
