Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D - review

RawmeatCowboy — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:40:31 -0500

A portion of a 1up review...

You can squint and enjoy this, the most refined rendition. Or you can have a better view of the action but revert to the clunky older mechanics. On the plus side, Metal Gear Solid 3 is a masterpiece regardless of how you play it... but much as I'd like to, I can't give this canny recreation an unqualified endorsement.

RawmeatCowboy — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:30:53 -0500

The above animated gif really gives you a good idea of how you can use the Wii U controller as a 'window' into a virtual world, allowing you to manipulate an object in 3D space. I'm not smart enough to adapt this into a game idea, but I know Nintendo is!
