Hideo Kojima's critically acclaimed "tactical espionage
action" series returns to
PlayStation 2 in the anticipated follow-up to 2001's
Sons of Liberty. Instead of slinking around futuristic installations, knocking on metal to distract guards, or crawling underneath a cardboard box, players are given a whole new
Snake to wrangle. Drawing its inspiration from films like
First Blood and
Rambo: First Blood Part II,
Snake Eater drops players in the middle of a thick jungle teeming with wildlife and, of course, terrorists. Heavily armed enemies dressed in camouflage gear will patrol the dense forests, waterfalls, and surrounding areas, so players will be able to climb trees, fire pistols while hanging down from branches, and crawl through hollowed out logs to stalk their prey. Along the way,
Snake will have to find sustenance by catching fish or other wildlife, while being mindful of natural hazards such hornets nests, cliffs, and rapids.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was first revealed in a 12-minute preview displayed at 2003's E3 in Los Angeles, California.
