Why Metal Gear Solid is the greatest Video Game Story ever told Part 3

Gary A Swaby of TheKoalition.com writes: Here it is, the final part of my editorial which I hope explains why Metal Gear Solid is the greatest video game story ever told. In the previous part I touched on the emotional impact, and the character development in the games. In the final edition I would like to compare the story to other video games and show just how generic the stories are in some of your favorite video games compared to Metal Gear Solid.

Many of the top selling games out there are very americanized, and thus the story is far from complex. Games like Gears Of War, contain the generic format that there are a team of hero's who kick ass and everybody else but the hero's are wrong. Americanized stories are full of the ignorance that the hero of the story can do no wrong, and the so called bad guys must be eliminated. Which brings me to focus on the diversity of the Metal Gear Story, and the emphasis on the fact that nobody is right and nobody is wrong. (Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 2; Substance, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid Rising, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360)
