A group of terrorists known as Gindra Liberation has captured an American cargo plane containing Metal Gear, the most dangerous weapon in the world, and taken it to their base located in central Africa. Rather than send an entire army to take over the base, the American government sends the man who was responsible for Metal Gear’s first demise, Solid Snake. You take control of Snake as he infiltrates the terrorist base, collecting weapons and items to help him along the way. As in all of the METAL GEAR games, stealth and smarts will work much better than brute strength. Along with the main game, 180 virtual-reality training missions have been included. Help Solid Snake save the world by destroying Metal Gear in METAL GEAR SOLID.
