As a die hard MGS fan I was interested in this novel.

Its not available in NZ, and though i cannot buy PSP games from Amazon I was allowed to purchase this?? Go figure??!!

Anyway... the controls are a bit clumsy...but the concept and artwork is beautifully executed. Searching for clues and reliving the original drama at Shadow Moses was fun. Pity the controls werent a bit better thought out.

Only for the true MGS fan. Not a game as such!

satisfied custumer

The game is a "digital graphic novel." I knew what it was and what it was about when I bought it. It's the retelling of a great story with beautiful art, illustrated by Ashley Wood. The game is exactly what I expected.

good idea for a game but a little confusing

Konami is typically at the forefront of amazing technology, in-depth gameplay and enriching game stories and dialogue, mostly thanks to the genious that is Hideo Kojima, the head of Konami's KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS and mastermind behind the METAL GEAR SOLID series.

This isn't so much a game (as stated before) as an actual comic book. However, the comic book is only a "book" in its form of actual prints that have been brilliantly encoded onto the UMD format with added animation to smooth transistions from one still/frame to another. There is even a soundtrack, with haunting music and sound effects, but sadly no recorded dialogue, just text. The recorded dialogue is indeed missed (especially david hayter's unmistakeable voice of Snake Pliskin), as it worked incredibly well for MGS: PORTABLE OPS for the psp ( another game i'd highly recommend ).

Ashley Wood's beautiful, yet haunting sketches add a stylized look to an already brilliant story, one which may take you anywhere from a half-hour to forty-five minutes to watch straight through. The real extra feature that adds to the replay value is the memory mini-game, in which each still from the comic can be zoomed in on and intelligence can be gathered for a seperate menu where you can link them together.

The story of Metal Gear Solid is what will really propel you to pick up this UMD, if you've not played the original PS1 title, (or its gamecube remake under :The Twin Snakes tag) then this may actually be a great place to start if you do not wish to undertake the 10 hours of gameplay that metal gear will demand from you. However, nothing can really beat the feeling of the original game itself, so i would recommend picking up the original game if you're a completist.

Digital Graphic Novel is really for the more die-hard metal gear fans, but the presentation of the comic book coming to life in your hands is not a one trick pony, as i am very excited for the Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty follow up DGN, and am planning on purchasing the Silent Hill Experience UMD for its inclusion of the silent hill comics.

Indeed a unique UMD for your psp, i highly recommend MGS:DGN!

Metal Gear Rocks

This is the only thing better than actually going back and playing MGS1 all over again. That was the best game of its time! This is the best way to relive the game without needing rations or continues. Get this disc you are gonna love it!!

Great linking time

Not bad

Being a huge MGS fan, and loathing MG Acid, I was looking forward to this little game, and for what it is, its not bad: essentially a comic book based on the first game. And while it could have been improved with voice overs, the music and art work was great and brought back fond memories.

That being said, the additional mode, the memory builder, is irritating. The controls are a pain, and the camera never holds still long enough to be helpful. This is definitely nice for the hardcore MGS fan, but otherwise, probably not worth the headaches.

great art and sound quality.

Its like a comic book but better. The sound is awesome and the art work is great. A whole new experience. Good job Kojima.
