Thanks, but I'm not sure if I should get this considering I have the Essentials collection.

It's not worth buying, the game lags horribly and it's just a terrible port overall.

The fight with volgin lags pretty badly. :(

this is also the only version of MGS3 with crouch-walking.

if you have the vita just get the metal gear collection, much better product than this

I love MGS games. I could not get through these on the 3DS. I haven't tried with the Circle Pad Pro and I would assume that helps but I was not impressed.

This is $14.98 at Toys R Us as well.

Awful port, as others have said.

Damn I love my vita version but I didn't know the game was so bad on the 3DS like you guys are saying

Kinda disappointing to hear how it turned out, considering it was one of the more hyped 3DS games prior to launch (MGS3 in 3D just sounded awesome). Looks like the HD Collection on the Vita and Consoles is the way to go if I ever get the itch to replay MGS3.

It has a 78 on metastatic and a 7.6 on user score. I doubt its as bad as everyone is making it sound. I do remember it getting pretty strong reviews when it came out.

Considering there is a demo of this game, those interested should just try it for themselves. I played the original and the HD collections on Xbox and Vita. Tried this demo and did have lag/frame rate issues. If this is your only means if playing the game, then it is good enough. Though this is the worst running version of the game. (PS2 included)

Yeah, they did make a big deal about it, so really no excuse for an unoptimized port with framerate issues.

I would recommend the console version over this and the Vita version.

The game was meant to be played in the comfort of your home on a full fledged TV and with a traditional controller.

Even playing around with the Vita version, after a hour I couldn't bear playing it on such a small screen and the awkward controls.

Agreed. The hack at IGN who gave it a high score probably reviewed it without playing the game.

High scores are more cause of nostalgia.

Okay, but now we've got to explain what all those other hacks at all those other outlets did when reviewing the game.

on topic: I might jump on this, been waiting for it to get a price drop for a year now.

Perhaps they read the IGN article and wrote their reviews based on that alone. But seriously, who knows? I'd have little incentive to wake up in the morning if my job required me to play eight hours of video games a day. Don't know how they put up with it.
