Launching in spring, when hundreds of thousands of Hideo Kojima fans were eagerly anticipating the summer arrival of *Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots* on PlayStation 3, this PlayStation 2 compilation serves as a chance to revisit the series' history and experience—or revisit—three of the most critically praised stealth games from earlier PlayStation systems. The collection features a PlayStation 2 version of the original PlayStation release of *Metal Gear Solid*—a title often credited with shaping the stealth genre—and the "Director's Cut" versions of its two PlayStation 2 follow-ups, *Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance* and *Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence*.
