Metal Gear Solid: Hideo Kojima's Magnus Opus: Hideo Kojima's Magnum Opus

A well-researched and structured journey through the Metal Gear Solid opus, from its origins, to the story, themes and legacy of each game, from Metal Gear on the MSX onwards. Highly recommended for fans of the MGS saga.

Well written and researched. A must for any fans of the franchise.

Very well put together. Made me want to play the whole saga again.

Overall this is the best guide you're going to get on the MGS saga. I quite enjoyed having a complete breakdown of the story too. The only thing lacking in the book is more in depth analysis and opinion. Some minor spelling and grammatical errors but these can be overlooked as it's been translated from French.

A must for fans of the Metal Gear series. Lots of interesting facts. Nice to have a chapter that goes through the entire story.

This was a requested gift, cannot comment but obviously ordered as asked and never received any complaints....

IF YOU ARE A METAL GEAR SOLID FAN OR WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE SERIES THIS IS THE BOOK TO HAVE. Only thing i would of liked is some pictures.

Haven't finished it yet but, gosh, the writing is terrible. Was it edited at all?

Sehr gut

Good book
