If you have a 3DS, get this game. Rather then bea shooting killing game, this is a stealth game. It is unnerving to see an enemy wlak right up to you while you cleverly conceal yourself.
If you're not sure, play the demo from the eshop, and you will know just how awesome this games is.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is kind of the perfect Metal Gear game to get started with, it is a prequel and helps ease people into Kojima's wild world. Much Tamer than 1,2 or 4 as far a story is concerned, this is still the best video game story on the 3DS to date (tied with ocarina of Time 3D) Characters seem very real and are very likeable. Gameplay is great, with the exception of certain camera angles that get jacked up while trying to stay with your line of sight. PLAY THIS WITH CIRCLE PAD PRO. That's all I'm going to say, played a few days without it, and then i got it. And its way easier to control now. The 3D is helpful to an extent, sometimes it helps determine how far an enemy actually is from you, which in a stealth game is key. The few instances of using the gyroscope are neat as well. Basically if you don't have anything to play on your 3DS put this (And Resident Evil: Revelations) in your Que! or go buy them! tons of gameplay, I am buying it today. It's a truly SOLID port! :)

P.S. the camera camoflauge is like a game in itself, take tons of pictures of what you think would be jungle designs for many different areas! My best success is actually from a picture I took of a Majora Mask my friend made me for christmas, it gets me 85% stealth! So Awesome!

Great cinema scenes and very exciting gameplay, although it is difficult to maneuver the camera.

I have the full game, and, I gotta say, it is AMAZING! Not only is it a remake of one of the most best MGS games, but it really fits with the gyroscope, and the graphics are amazing. The main difference is that you need to rely on stealth than rather beating up anything that moves, otherwise it may end up in some horrible results. This game uses precise movement and strategic gameplay as Snake sneaks his way around some of the most toughest enemies he may ever encounter throughout the game.

This is an example of poor porting from Playstation to DS platform. The beginning cinematics are fantastic, but I couldn't even climb a freaking tree in the beginning of the game without getting frustrated and almost breaking my DS! The controls of the game is terrible. Whoever thought that giving the right side (YXBA) buttons to control camera angles is a great idea, while the up button does a million things is a genius (not). Anyway, bottom line, good looking game but make sure you configure the controls otherwise, don't bother

Alright port

I gotta say I really wish Konami made a Peace Walker port for the 3ds instead. If you've played Metal Gear 3 on ps2 then you're really not gonna see much new in this game.

The 3d makes things slightly interesting but given that this game is so old its not going to blow your mind to see low res plants appear in 3d as you crawl through grass.

I'm a huge Metal Gear fan so I felt the need to play through this game and I'm glad I did because its a classic. If you're not a huge fan of metal gear and played this on ps2 don't bother. If you are a huge fan or never played this before then rent it for sure. People who never played this game will be in for a treat to play it like this for the first time.

A Good Re-release For A First-Timer

The only other time I've played Snake was in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I must say that this is a fun game. Stealth games are not very common so it's nice to see one that does it well. The controls are fluent, the gameplay is fun if not slightly repetitive, the graphics are good and so is the 3D. So why an 8/10? I think it's because I believe the cutscenes to be a little too long. I do like cutscenes but several of them seemed to go on for 10-12 minutes before I could continue to play. I can assume all of the cutscenes came from the original? I liked a lot of the bad guys. I didn't like Ocelot, though. He just wasn't all that interesting and his gun tricks got annoying and boring fast. Regardless though, it is a good game and I recommend it to anyone curious enough.

Would have been an 8

This game could easily have been an 8. The only issue I ran into was that the controls were not very well designed. Using the four keys to the right of the screen for the vertical and horizontal pan/scan did not work in high-intensity cover/shoot situations.

Beyond that, the game was great in the typical Metal Gear standard.

The rather limited size of the handheld seriously cramps your sneaking ability for the PS2 hit MGS:SE.

If you've played the original, you can see how the PTA camera control has you being spotted almost immediately while you put on your best form.

A solid 7, because they were actually able to get MGS:SE on a handheld.

not worth the bother

Although I love my 3DS and enjoy MGS games on other platforms. This particular game just did not port well to the 3DS. The small low res screen blurs subtle detail (like soldiers in the distance) and makes the game an exercise in frustration. definitely a rental but not a keeper.
I am hoping the PS Vita port will be more playable.
