Strategy Tips from NewGamer

  • Use cardboard boxes & camouflage suits to slip past patrol routes undetected.
  • Save ammo: neutralize guards with chokeholds or stun weapons, especially in MGS2’s Big Shell.
  • In Snake Eater, keep your camouflage index above 80%—track foliage types and switch camo frequently.
  • Study guard patterns via codec chatter—eavesdropping can reveal the next checkpoint.

Player Snippets

  • James M (5.0/5): “Good quality, content and selection. MG fans—it has the originals and the artwork.”
  • Jesse Johnson (5.0/5): “Great throwback to playing the original at 13. Hours of entertainment.”
  • Eeyore Penultimate (5.0/5): “Worth having…BUT beware of massive downloads. Cartridge still requires full installs for all three games and bonus content.”

Final Thoughts

If you’re hunting for a one-stop stealth experience, this Master Collection is your infiltration HQ. Although the Switch cartridge demands hefty storage for downloads, the payoff is immense. Once you’re in, each title becomes a lesson in tactical espionage and cinematic storytelling. Furthermore, whether you’re reliving Snake’s origin or exploring the Digital Graphic Novels, $27.99 is a steal for this legacy run.
