In the first 1:27 of this track, the tone makes me see some profound yet subtle theme in the pic, that, because of the blurriness, it's not the 2 iconic Snakes contending for the last time, but an abstraction now, just 2 men fighting the good fight. When you play through all the games and understand the characters, you notice that although these 2 brothers are the antitheses of each other, they were ultimately fighting for the same end, to be "free from the system". This is where I see the soft evening sky come in, denoting the end of one era and the start of another. All that's left is that final battle. And with the picture, I also see some symbolism within the Snakes' superficial appearances. Good vs. Evil, Professional vs. Austere, Contemporary vs. Anachronistic, Technological vs. Barren, that's what I see. These themes clash here, and as the turn of the era begins, only one side will emerge victorious. Overall, what am I trying to impart here? While the UA-camr himself may not had intended it, the blurriness of this pic makes it an excellent example of "the hidden message", and that just looking at it without playing the games will deprive you of something so rich and beautiful. There's probably so many more themes you can grasp from this one picture, but I'll leave that for you to find. I've already written a lot as it is. :)
aw man, i just re-lived your excitement. im playing the game over again, but ill never forget the first time i played it, it left an impression on me. there is no other that has brought out the emotion in me like this game did. it will live on and make its course through history as one of the best games ever, my favorite for sure.
I might have not played all the metal gears but every time i play any of them its just so emotional i break down to tears and everyday i try to learn more and more about metal gear solid anything new i try to read or watch. METAL GEAR FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 29, and have loved the series and how it continued from the 80's, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is my favorite series of all time. It's a part of me, so I have no problem saying that when Snake rounded the corner and I saw Shadow Moses depicted perfectly in 3D with the convo and soundtrack to accompany it, I nearly cried. No game has done that to me, EVER!!!. That should mean something, if the point of art is to invoke emotion, Hideo, you have done that, Thank you!!!
this final boss fight is very nostalgic taking you through all the metal gear solid themes was a great idea so people would never forget where the liquid and solid rivalry started
It only took 3 seconds of clicking on this video for me to get chills. this music instantly fills your heart with snakes story. everything flashes for an instant and your left with chills.
When I fought Liquid and listened to this songs I almost cried, Metal Gear Solid is the best game I have ever played. It has the best story ever told. I love it. R.I.P. Solid Snake
The way they used the previous MGS songs was nice in this game. It started with the fast-paced Encounter and Tanker Incident songs to compliment the fast-paced fighting between Snake and Ocelot. Then, they slowed it down with Snake Eater for the CQC-style battling, then finished with the Old Snake theme showing things coming to an end! It's real touching!
In all honesty I'd have to say this was the best final battle of any game. It was some gun figh or chase scene, it was just simple hand to hand combat. And it didn't involve saving the world or saving someone else. It was just unfinished business. Thank you Kojima for creating such a masterpiece.
Man, I totally agree with you 1000%. I still find it shocking when that there are gamers out there who haven't played Medal Gear yet. They don't know what they're missing!
this in my my opinion is one the best soundtracks to a game and one of the best games ever made, it just had so much effort put into it, we need for games with dedication like this, i cant think of a single problem with this game not one. Hideo kojima is just a genius thank you Hideo kojima for an amazing beggining and an amazing end for solid snake,its moments like this fight that show the epicness of these games LONG LIVE METAL GEAR SOLID
This game DID make me tear up. It was by far the most touching game I have ever played. Many players of the series grew up with it, so the finale of it was moving.
@VantiasTheDark Thanks for your help, but I found the song yesterday it's " Metal Gear Saga " the first 2 min in this video are the last section of the song ;)
there is so much depth to the characters better then that of any other game. the soundtrack just add to the atmosphere of a groundbreaking scene. the battle felt surreal to me and i enjoyed it a lot
I honestly can't believe how addicting this game is. I have beat this game 11 times. It has to be the greatest game i've ever played in my life time so far....
This great music bring me memories of how repeatlidy time i try to finish the game without die nor use special weapons and not be seen and detected by cameras and alarms.
This game series got me into gaming. The story........oh my god.....the plot was just IN-credible. Throughout this entire series I laughed, I cried, I got frustrated, I felt enormous achievement, I felt surprised at certain parts, I got adrenaline at certain parts gameplay AND story, I felt EMOTION and a wide range of it too as you can see. This series is truly the best and will ALWAYS remain the best in my opinion. From music, to gameplay to everything this truly was a magnificent piece of art
omg it was AMAZING i know. I cried at the end too, it was so sad. There were so many good lines at the end too. Snake crawling to get to GW with the background music and the split screen was heartbreaking. He almost didnt make it. The battle was epic, no other words can describe it. The ending with Big Boss and Snake was so sad and touching but I truly couldn't ask for a better ending. Long live Solid Snake.
This had to be one of the Greatest Final Boss Fights in the History of Gaming. No huge explosions, just a final showdown between two old rivals, a Legendary Battle of Fistycuffs.
omg i couldn't have said this any better myself. when i was playing this part, my entire family stopped to watch, nobody said a word, we all just watched the screen. It gave me chills, I knew everything was coming to an end, and here was Snake, fighting to for his life, to save everyone elses.
There's another game for 360,Ps3 and PC called Metal Gear Solid Rising. Features Raiden in it. Kojima says both Peace Walker(PSP game) and Rising are MGS5
no matter how good the graphics get, no matter how realistic the games get, no matter how fucking brilliant looking the games get, MGS series will always be the very best game series ever created!
Out of all the games I've played in my life ranging from action, rpg, and shooters. This was the most epic final battle ever. I had goosbumps throughout the entire fight. The music boosted the epicness aswell. It's not a metal gear game I haven't played thats already been released...Basically....I FUCKS WITH METAL GEAR!!
This is the first PS3 game I've compleeted and that was also one of the greatest game I have played thorugh. Also this boss was a highlight itself, at least I mean so.
This is the most epic boss fight ever. I mean... two old men fighting with only their hands (in such a high tech world with mechs and all the stuff) on the top of the most epic submarine ever createt while the sun is going down in the background and the most epic songs from the prequels before are playing. And than you think of it: "So this is it. This is how the story of Snake ends. Awesome with the songs from the games before." And you're right... it is awesome. It suits perfect.
for every shoot that u do whit snake ! , for every punch , for every last breath of greenbar life ! , for every continue , for the legend of METAL GEAR SOLID PLAYERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OWNED ALL GAMES SINCE TEN YEARS ! GODJIMA !
@petrietri Not completely true, although his cyborg ninja body was replaced at the end of the game, the body he was in was still very much cybernetic. And they could also reattach him to a new one given that his spine and jaw up are the only things that are still a part of him.
this game is epic! i got a ps3 two days ago and ive been playing it non stop! my xbox is going to be sitting in a corner collecting dust for a looooooong time
@DarkTsubasa You didn't choose Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Solid chose YOU. MGS is a game only understood and powerful to those who deserve it. You have been blessed.
When you think about it, most of the entire game is a ode to the whole MGS series, what with the return to Shadow Moses and shooting on the bike with EVA. The only thing I don't really see is a part for MGS2(but then again I don't really remember much of that one :D).

great comment!
you would make my IB teacher cry tears of analytical joy if she saw this comment!
An incredible amount of genius went into the creation of this game.

I will play these series over & over again and it will still be the best series of games ever!!!

@StyleLePelt, Song - Snake Eater (Cynthia Harrel) , its the MGS3 intro song
@kirbyrocky509 in MGS 2 sons of liberty you can hear this song when you fight olga on the tanker, its also the escape music to the same level.
@SpawnSpectre simply listening to the music almost brings me back to tears.... this game was an amazing experience!
@MyPs3gamer
All right; thanks. It is so hard to search for specific songs from this soundtrack set, but I love all of them!
@Shadowhog 0:00 - 1:24 can be found in the main theme for MGS3, at 2:40 in "Zero Allies", and "Father and Son"! What a beautiful melody!
Alter beim dem Video kommen einem ja fast die tränen weil das einfach nur EPIC ist! Ich zock jetzt wieder alle 4 teile durch :)

Thanks Kojima for this epic masterpiece
thanks, it's really nice to have this song handy. it's missing from the OST
The way they used the previous MGS songs was nice in this game. It started with the fast-paced Encounter and Tanker Incident songs to compliment the fast-paced fighting between Snake and Ocelot. Then, they slowed it down with Snake Eater for the CQC-style battling, then finished with the Old Snake theme showing things coming to an end! It's real touching!

this is the best saga that can ever be created!!
Waiting for MGS Collection HD!!
this in my my opinion is one the best soundtracks to a game and one of the best games ever made, it just had so much effort put into it, we need for games with dedication like this, i cant think of a single problem with this game not one.

What an epic final battle. Theres just too much greatness that went into it to describe. After 4 games Revolver Ocelot is finally stopped.
@VantiasTheDark
Thanks for your help, but I found the song yesterday it's " Metal Gear Saga " the first 2 min in this video are the last section of the song ;)
Perhaps the best game saga ever made. The best consistent story and intense gameplay.
there is so much depth to the characters better then that of any other game. the soundtrack just add to the atmosphere of a groundbreaking scene. the battle felt surreal to me and i enjoyed it a lot
I honestly can't believe how addicting this game is. I have beat this game 11 times. It has to be the greatest game i've ever played in my life time so far....
This great music bring me memories of how repeatlidy time i try to finish the game without die nor use special weapons and not be seen and detected by cameras and alarms.
This game overwhelmed more feelings in me than any movie. Not even death itself touched me so
This game series got me into gaming. The story........oh my god.....the plot was just IN-credible. Throughout this entire series I laughed, I cried, I got frustrated, I felt enormous achievement, I felt surprised at certain parts, I got adrenaline at certain parts gameplay AND story, I felt EMOTION and a wide range of it too as you can see. This series is truly the best and will ALWAYS remain the best in my opinion. From music, to gameplay to everything this truly was a magnificent piece of art
I just got MGS2 Platinum and came here to relax listening to this beautiful final boss soundtrack.
"A hero is nothing but fiction. Someone tells a story, someone remembers, everybody passes it on."
-Solid Snake
metal gear solid series is best in history of games
MGS 4 - best game ever made. And I played a lot of games since i was a child !
@SteveM08attLA18 Dude.....don't even get me started on that HD collection XD hahahah I can'ttttttt waittttt ahhhhhhhh
@jman717277 you sir set an impeccable example for all
omg it was AMAZING i know. I cried at the end too, it was so sad. There were so many good lines at the end too. Snake crawling to get to GW with the background music and the split screen was heartbreaking. He almost didnt make it. The battle was epic, no other words can describe it.

This ending was fucking legendary!
Old Snake, you may be gone, but may you never be forgotten.
Solid snake
I love this series it was one of the best I have ever played
thanks for that. i gotta listen to the cutscenes more but when i do its just like watching a movie!! I mean that in a good way.
This had to be one of the Greatest Final Boss Fights in the History of Gaming. No huge explosions, just a final showdown between two old rivals, a Legendary Battle of Fistycuffs.
I do man. I love the whole fucking series. LONG LIVE METAL GEAR SOLID!!!!!!!!
Upon hearing this sound please honor this great game!
The most epic moment in history of video games ;_;
@justone9182 its all one song except for the last one,that is the snake eater theme
garcias desde mexico por la recopilacion de mucicas
gosh i love that song that plays at the first. i wish i had it on my ipod
Metal Gear Solid is the ultimate fusion of epic moments and gameplay
Big boss...
Solid Snake...
"salute"
omg i couldn't have said this any better myself. when i was playing this part, my entire family stopped to watch, nobody said a word, we all just watched the screen. It gave me chills, I knew everything was coming to an end, and here was Snake, fighting to for his life, to save everyone elses.
There's another game for 360,Ps3 and PC called Metal Gear Solid Rising. Features Raiden in it. Kojima says both Peace Walker(PSP game) and Rising are MGS5
@DarkTsubasa Metal Gear .. A MANS GAME OF AWESOME and EPICNESS !!! MGS FTW!!
every mgs i played i think itz the best game i ever played and i can't wait for the movie
this is the only game i know where the music background during the last boss fight is a music combination of 3 previous games plus this game.
no matter how good the graphics get, no matter how realistic the games get, no matter how fucking brilliant looking the games get, MGS series will always be the very best game series ever created!
may metal gear live forever, not in a screen, but in our hearts....
Out of all the games I've played in my life ranging from action, rpg, and shooters. This was the most epic final battle ever. I had goosbumps throughout the entire fight. The music boosted the epicness aswell. It's not a metal gear game I haven't played thats already been released...Basically....I FUCKS WITH METAL GEAR!!
Man, the ultimate showdown that was always meant to be since the beginning of the Franchise.
God this was such an amazing moment/fight. The smile on my face when Snake Eater hit was too huge.
in my opion this was the best game ever, and i have never even played it online. the story mode is unbeliveably fun. and the music made it even better
i stand up and salute Kojima for creating this forever lasting Master Piece!
im everytime close to it as well the whole story is so emotional
This is the first PS3 game I've compleeted and that was also one of the greatest game I have played thorugh. Also this boss was a highlight itself, at least I mean so.
man this game was amazing, even though the storyline is longer than the gameplay, its the best. especially when u fight ocelot, epic fight
Long live Solid Snake our Hero in the Video Game World!
You are my Hero Snake!
MGS best soundtracks ever. all 4 of them
This is the most epic boss fight ever. I mean... two old men fighting with only their hands (in such a high tech world with mechs and all the stuff) on the top of the most epic submarine ever createt while the sun is going down in the background and the most epic songs from the prequels before are playing. And than you think of it: "So this is it. This is how the story of Snake ends. Awesome with the songs from the games before." And you're right... it is awesome. It suits perfect.
I have nothing to say, the songs say everything we need to know, emotions, we can find all of them in MGS series.
long live for metal gear solid
@Shadowhog I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees this.
@Kyoun121232 The themes in order:
MGS SAGA, Encounter, Tanker Incident, Snake Eater, Old Snake
for every shoot that u do whit snake ! , for every punch , for every last breath of greenbar life ! , for every continue , for the legend of METAL GEAR SOLID PLAYERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OWNED ALL GAMES SINCE TEN YEARS ! GODJIMA !
man, it was cool when they put the ending for all the theme songs for each game.
Encounter.
Raiden's Encounter.
Snake Eater.
And old Snake
This whole bossfight made me flip shit
Truely legendary stuff
@clin123123 almost? hell i did cry, such a wonderful ending to snakes story
That is a GREAT IDEA! Introduce them to one of the BEST SERIES ALIVE
One of the best endings ever...
Just finished MGS4 yesterday, I was even ashamed that I didnt play it earlier (had no ps3)
I was playing a legend.
@Samuli385 well we now have to finish big bosses and raiden's story snakes is over 9salutes
@petrietri Not completely true, although his cyborg ninja body was replaced at the end of the game, the body he was in was still very much cybernetic. And they could also reattach him to a new one given that his spine and jaw up are the only things that are still a part of him.
MGS4 is undeniably the best game of the series as well as being the best game against any other game out there
If anyone is wondering the song order:
0:00 - 1:24 Metal Gear Solid Theme (New)
1:25 - 3:50 Encounter 2008 (Metal Gear Solid)
3:51 - 5:53 Tanker - Alert (Metal Gear Solid 2)
5:54 - 8:46 Snake Eater (Metal Gear Solid 3)
I'm still playing MGO, this game is so awesome!! damn what a game!! :D
this game is epic! i got a ps3 two days ago and ive been playing it non stop! my xbox is going to be sitting in a corner collecting dust for a looooooong time
metal gear solid is an epic, its an epic legend
@ThinkLearnSolve Amen, amen. I am SICK of the console wars; the gaming world needs more people that think like you
ive only got the MGS on playstation 1 but i can see why MGS is so legendary
@DarkTsubasa You didn't choose Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Solid chose YOU. MGS is a game only understood and powerful to those who deserve it. You have been blessed.
Metal Gear Solid
The only series that can bring grown men to tears... and it's still manly to cry
Truly epic.
That trumpet part was incredible.
MGS, l'une des plus grande saga du jeux vidéo ! épique ! il sera à jamais marqué dans l'histoire du jeu vidéo.
Right after that is pretty epic too...classic theme. :D
When you think about it, most of the entire game is a ode to the whole MGS series, what with the return to Shadow Moses and shooting on the bike with EVA. The only thing I don't really see is a part for MGS2(but then again I don't really remember much of that one :D).
@f4rw3ll its the MGS4 main theme (the ending part)
Epic soundtrack!
