Solid Snake returns as an older, battle-hardened veteran in
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Series creator
Hideo Kojima reprises his role as director as he brings the critically acclaimed stealth-action series to
PlayStation 3 with a number of new elements. The futuristic setting now features expansive, war-torn environments with rival nations vying for control over both territory and technology. Sporting grizzled hair, wrinkles, and a moustache, the weary
Snake also has an eye patch that pays homage to his character's inspiration,
Escape from New York's antihero
Snake Plissken.
Christened "Solid Eye" by
Kojima, the eye patch serves as a multifunctional display that allows
Snake to view infrared signals, radar, and more. As
Snake sneaks through bombed out areas, interior locales, and other detailed environments, players will be able to shape the cinematic story line through their in-game actions. Missions can be accomplished in multiple ways, and
Snake's decisions during the course of play will influence how characters react to him. As in previous games, players can attack enemies in close quarters combat, wear disguises, perform acrobatic moves, use a variety of inventive gadgets, and call on familiar characters for assistance and information.
