MGS game length - Blu-ray Forum

secret · 06-05-2008, 05:00 AM

I'm curious to know how long one MGS game would take to complete.

I just sampled Konami's MGS training game on their website (2-d scroller). And boy, it could take up to 30 seconds just to wait for a guard to look the other way.

This is a fun game for a student on spring break or summer vacation who can sit at great lenghts to play the game though.

They're decently long games. Maybe about 10 to 12 hours apiece. Maybe more, it's been awhile since I played them.

That's not bad...I probably go and buy the essentials collection tomorrow and play it on the upcoming two Saturdays. I'll definitely try MGS1 and MGS3...

Don't happen to have a Wii or a Gamecube do you? If so, you can get MGS: The Twin Snakes, which is a remake of MGS1 with a lot better graphics. MGS1 and MGS3 are the best, but 2 is very good as well. I wasn't disappointed with any of them, except for the fact you don't play as Snake in MGS2.

It's been a long time but I'd say roughly..

MGS: 8+ hours first play, 3 hours speeding through skipping cutscenes. Few VR training missions.
MGS VR Missions / Integral / MGS PC: VR missions - lots more hours.
Twin Snakes: MGS minus VR training, think the 'temperature card' stuff was made less backtracky so takes less time. Never paid any attention to completion time.

MGS2: 16+ hours first play, never tried speeding through
MGS2 Substance: VR missions, silly story missions - LOTS more hours.

MGS3: 20+ hours first play, never tried speeding through
MGS3 Subsistence: Online play - LOTS more hours.

MGS4: 20-30 hours first play according to reviewers. Online play - Lots and LOTS more hours.

MGS2, 3 and 4 are packed full of easter eggs and 4 especially multiple ways of approaching each situation so there's lots to replay for. MGS4 also has some sort of game completion rewards system and the weapons/items/special unlockables etc you collect should carry over to the next play.

Thorough first play-throughs of course.
