Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Metal Gear Solid is probably the best game ever to be made for the PlayStation and this additional special mission pack brings back the glory days. MGS Special Missions returns to the "Tactical Espionage Action", based mainly around the original VR training missions but with a few extra treats thrown in. Rumour has it that is was originally designed to entertain the Japanese gaming public without having to dive into MGS itself for a bit of action.
The range of missions available varies as you progress through the game honing your skills. Most of the tasks only take a minute or two to complete, however, once you have put yourself through the paces in Special Missions, returning to the original MGS will reap rewards. Special Missions is very effective training, from sneaking without weapons to popping diazepam and honing your sniper skills. The game also contains some very bizarre levels and you get a chance to play the Ninja from MGS and get involved with some of the other characters.
The graphics and sound are the same high quality as the original, and the controls are the same. If you have not played Metal Gear Solid it is advisable to play the original before getting into these extra missions. However, if you are an old MGS fan, then these missions will give you another chance to relive the magic. Perhaps some longer "proper" missions should have been included, but all in all, a fun package. --Chris Hall

You need the original Metal Gear Solid to play this game, so if you dont have it, buy that first, because that is the main game. There is no additional story in Special Missions, only VR missions.
Sound and graphics are similar to the original, and the music are remixed versions of the 2 first (quite unknown) Metal Gear games. The only bad thing about the original game is that it is to short. When you finish it you only want more, then this game is what you need.
Lots of crazy missions here, some examples are: BIG soldliers, "bowling" with enemies, find the murderer, play as Grey Fox!, photo mode with Naomi and Mei Ling.... and so on.
You might get frustrated some times when you have problems with a level, but it feels even better when you manage to complete it.
If you didn't like the original, you won't like this either(as if its possible to not like the original). The replay value is somewhat less than in the original, unless you are very interresting in getting the best times ever on all the levels(300 levels).
So, if you are like me, and can feel truely alive only on the battlefield. You need this game.

Metal gear solid..... undoutably the GREATEST game every produced for the sony playstation. it had flare, it had style, it had guns, guns and more guns. not to mention metal gear itself. this "sequal" if you like is simply hundreds of VR training missions packed onto a disk, and it doesn't stop there, oh no, it goes on, hands up who always wished they could play as the ninja in the original? well now you can, along with many other characters. you can perfect all your skills in this and then go on to absolutely thrash the game (again) without taking a single hit. it is just as fun as the real thing (but withoit the plot) and i highly reccomend it to all thoser solid snake fans out there. happy gaming!
