Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 2004

Is it still worth playing?

Konami's 2004 stealth game for the PlayStation 2, directed by Hideo Kojima and set in 1964. The FOX operative Naked Snake has to rescue a Russian rocket scientist, sabotage a superweapon and eliminate his defected former mentor in a Soviet jungle. Hiding there is measured by a camouflage index, from negative values up to 100 percent. Snake's body has to be looked after too. His stamina falls constantly, so he has to eat, and food can rot and give him a stomachache. Injuries are tracked over the whole body as well, so a fall can fracture a leg, which you treat with a splint and bandage. When a fight comes up close, close quarters combat covers grabs, chokeholds, throws and interrogation. A jungle that has to be survived as well as crossed still makes its stealth worth playing today.
