Description
Metal Gear Solid for Game Boy Color, known in Japan as Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, is a unique version of the acclaimed action-adventure and stealth game series. Released in 2000, this title is not a direct port of the original PlayStation game, but rather features an alternate continuity set seven years after the events of the original 1987 Metal Gear.
Developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan with assistance from Tose, the game takes up the 2D gameplay format of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, incorporating new elements from Metal Gear Solid. The gameplay focuses on infiltrating the enemy fortress, avoiding detection by guards or surveillance systems. Players can acquire numerous items and weapons to aid in their mission, and one notable difference from the MSX2 games is that the screen now scrolls as Snake moves through an area instead of using fixed screens. Additionally, all characters in the game move in eight directions, allowing for diagonal movements in addition to the four cardinal directions.
Solid Snake, the protagonist, has the ability to flatten himself against walls, allowing him to move along them to access narrow passages, pan the camera behind his position to explore the area ahead, or punch the wall to attract enemies. the enemy soldiers. Depending on the difficulty, the number of hits required to defeat an enemy soldier varies, and on higher difficulty levels, enemy soldiers will be knocked unconscious for a time after the first series of hits instead of simply being defeated.
The game also includes virtual reality missions that allow you to practice infiltration maneuvers with and without weapons. In advanced mode, the intelligence of enemies increases, making more complicated levels even more challenging. Communication with various allies and saving progress is done through a wireless communication device, the Codec.
In terms of plot, the game follows the checkered path of Solid Snake, a highly skilled undercover agent and infiltration expert for the special forces unit FOXHOUND. Retired and called back into service, Snake must rescue the nuclear weapon Metal Gear from the clutches of a gang of terrorists led by the charismatic but unbalanced General Augustine Eguabon.
