Released in March 2004, this is a remake of the 1998 smash hit Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation which adds new manuevers and extras from the follow-up to that game, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. In the tradition of Metal Gear, the game is about infiltration and sneaking through areas without being detected. Incorporating speedrunning into this objective has become a draw to an ever-widening number of fans.

Author's comments:
Pay heed to the Ninja battle, the Mantis battle, and Wolf 2, as those battles are improved to the pinnacle of my ability and are the standard by which I weigh all other runs.
Also, note the Comm. Tower A Climb, Hind D, and Vulcan Raven, as the strategies that I utilize on those sequences are altered to accomodate not picking up the body armor, which shaved off even more time.
In fact, barring a few technical flubs, an embarrassing messup in calling Meryl, and a significantly worse Tank battle, I would consider this video the best of my abilities.
Of course, that is only for me, so I hope that those with the time, skill, and patience learn from this and encourage them to try and record a run better than my best 'Perfect' Big Boss time.
Once again, enjoy!
