Product Description
Acting as the ultimate collation of METAL GEAR SOLID titles, the compilation is available exclusively for PlayStation 3. It spans every METAL GEAR SOLID created by Hideo Kojima to date, and also includes rare items which have not been available for several years.
Includes:
- METAL GEAR SOLID
- METAL GEAR SOLID 2: HD Edition
- METAL GEAR SOLID 3: HD Edition (featuring the original MSX versions of METAL GEAR and METAL GEAR 2)
- METAL GEAR SOLID: Peace Walker HD Edition
- METAL GEAR SOLID: SPECIAL MISSIONS
- METAL GEAR SOLID 4: Trophy Edition
- The collection also includes both METAL GEAR SOLID DIGITAL GRAPHIC NOVELS which are illustrated by acclaimed artist, Ashley Wood, and the second of which was never released in Europe
METAL GEAR SOLID: THE LEGACY COLLECTION celebrates the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan’s master game creator, and creator of the stealth action game genre. Mr Kojima’s vision and art for story-telling has seen the METAL GEAR SOLID series become a global phenomenon. The player controls a secret agent from an elite Special Forces unit who is sent on solo stealth missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and the thick of battle. Mixing action, stealth, and set within a stunning universe inhabited by a wide range of sympathetic and utterly evil villains, METAL GEAR SOLID: THE LEGACY COLLECTION marks a perfect chance to reacquaint with, or sample for the first time, the METAL GEAR SOLID universe ahead of the release of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN.

Where do you start with 25 years worth of games? Some of which are considered amongst the best ever made?
Well, chances are a lot of us have played some or all of these before, so I'll just clarify some things (If you're completely new to the series; more on this later)...
This set does include what it says on the `tin', but its configuration is a little complicated (unnecessarily so)...
The housing is a cardboard Blu-Ray box which contains 1 standard PS3 case and a 100-page art book. The book is very good, and is a trip down memory lane cataloguing various artworks from all the Metal Gear releases to date.
Everything else contained in the set is within the PS3 case, apart from the PS1's `Metal Gear Solid' and its offspring `VR Missions' (referred to in this collection as `Special Missions`). These two releases need to be downloaded from the PSN via a code on an insert in the case.
Inside the PS3 case are two discs, the aforementioned insert and a standard manual which briefly describes the controls for each of the games included. Disc 1 is the Trophy Edition of `Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots`. Disc 2 is pretty much everything else. Upon loading the disc, you get a choice of the following:
Meta Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - HD Edition
This is essentially an HD upscale of the PS2's `Subsistence' release, (not including the `movie version' that was originally on disc 3) and includes Snake Eater (with third-person camera option), and the original `Metal Gear' and `Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake' (these are selectable from the Snake Eater main menu as per Subsistence).
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - HD Edition
The HD conversion of the original handheld game. Read more ›

Every Metal Gear game from 1987-2012? I'm in.
For �35 (Which is what I paid at the time), this is amazing value for money. It includes every Hideo Kojima directed game since 1987 (So not the Twin Snakes or Portable Ops) in two Blu-Ray disks, plus an exclusive 100-page hardback art book which makes the collection worth it even for a fan who already owns the games (I don't have the HD Collection or MGS4). Stick in two exclusive digital graphic novels (with voice acting), plus Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions, which isn't normally available on the PS Store, and you're onto a winner.
Sure, MGS and Special Missions aren't on a disk but are download versions, but that doesn't detract at all from the quality of the game. For those expecting an update, they play exactly as they did on the PSone... Asking for an HD port would be *too* much, I think. Finally, lets run over the content exclusive to this package:
-100 Page hardback art book spanning the series
-Two Digital Graphic Novels, complete with voice acting (the first one was available on the PSP, but with no voices)
-Metal Gear Solid Special Missions (Only available in this package at the time of writing... compatible with PSP and Vita too)
...And for those of you who are wondering, the copy MGS4 in this package also includes the new trophy patch.
In short, this collection offers unprecedented value for money and a wealth of exclusive content. Snap it up, MGS fans!

For what it is, the legacy collection is actually a huge bargain as you're getting a ton of Metal Gear games for one low price.
If you've enjoyed playing a Metal Gear game in the past but haven't played all of them, then this may be the collection for you as it has a ton to offer.
The whole package includes:
♦ Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Edition (Disk 1).
♦ Metal Gear | Metal Gear 2 | MGS2: HD Edition | MGS3: HD Edition | MGS Peace Walker: HD Edition | Metal Gear Solid 1&2 Digital Graphic Novel (Disk 2).
♦ Metal Gear Solid & Special Missions PSX Edition (DLC Code, redeemed on the PSN Store).
♦ Artbook (Physical Copy).
So when you add everything up, it ends up being more worthwhile getting this, especially for the price it's currently available for which is a complete steal!
That said, for those who are big fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise like myself, they're most likely to already have everything this collection has to offer (apart from the art book of course).
I decided to purchase this collection in the end even though I didn't really need it, however I wanted it for my collection and I don't regret in doing so.
So, for those who don't own most/all of the games that are included in this collection, then this is defnitely something you'll want to get, but for those who already own them all, it's down to whether you want to pay out all this extra money for an additional collection piece.

I have loved this game series for a very long time and was very surprised when I heard about this release!
The package itself was smaller than I thought but I cannot complain as it is way more worth it then the MGS HD Collection, which only had three of the games. There was an artbook as well which was never released in the EU so being a Brit I really appreciated that! I would heartily recommend you buy this if you are a fan of the series and it is worth playing - the game series that invented stealth action, for less than �40.
Really good deal and really good game series.
The delivery was very fast as well, as usual for me.

Something that all definitive MGS fans should own. Featuring all the games that the man himself, Hideo Kojima worked on it's definitely a great buy.

The contents is good BUT this is simply a repackaged metal gear solid 4 and the hd collection - save yourself the money and get that instead.
