Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the idea that this is and was the best game ever made on the PS1. I do think so, due to the fact of it's amazing graphics, innovative style of gameplay and control accompanied by an involving storyline, great characters and voice acting and of course some of the most memorable scenes and quotes in games console history.
Yes, this is the greatest game for the PS1. Actually, it could make the top ten list for the best game of any console. I can image, 50 years from now, this game would be an antique collectible (next to GoldenEye for the N64 of course). LOL

Damn this thread took me back... I mean MGS, Resident Evil one and two and FF:VII are obvious choices, just about everyone loves them. My personal favorites were the first two Twisted Metal games and MGS. Crash Bandicoot and the first Tony Hawk deserves a mention or two. Anyone remember Blast Chamber?
Silent Hill Anyone? This game brings back the most memories for me. I remember sleeping over at my friends house for a whole week and us playing it everyday after school right until we went to bed. I think i may go back and play through it again very soon.
Silent Hill...oh yeah,that was a cool horror game.:)Probably the scariest game I ever played.I've played the second part and the fourht one,but SH1 is best in the series hands down.Btw,how did you made yourself to play it before you went to bed?I couldn't play it in braod daylight,because I was so scared sometimes. I think it's the same with MGS.First one is best,hands down. Acutally,here are mine Top 5 games for PS1
1.Metal Gear Solid 2.Silent Hill 3.Syphon Filter 4.Final Fantasy VII 5.Driver 2
What really appeals to me about metal gear solid is the atmosphere thorughout the game: Arctic base exploration,snowfields, gritty interior complex. The plot is quite interesting, quite a number of debateable issues like: Nuclear disarmament,Genetic cloning and brotherly hatred.
Most important of all is the characters interactions esecially betwen Snake and Liquid, what a clash (identical clones!) "I got all the flawed recessive genes".
i think the metal gear solid games are the best games ever made for any console they are just stunning along with imo the splinter cell games and resident evil 1 , 2 and 4 also tomb raiders were good until 3
I LOVE MGS for the PSX. This is absolutely my favorite game for the system. But I'm surprised...
since NOBODY mentioned Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Shame on you all! This is far and away one of the best games ever released for any console, period.
MGS is the classic of classics. Go to any gaming magazine, any gaming professional, anyone who knows anything about art, and they'll tell you Metal Gear Solid was the best game on PS1. I remember, a while back, on PSM's 100th issue, they counted down the top 100 games in Playstation history (this was about in 2002, or 2003, so that included PS2 games). MGS2:SOL made #4 on that list, while the original Metal Gear Solid took the number 1 spot.
Now, in terms of sheer plot and storyline, this is without a doubt, better than any game on any console, as well as most movies out there as well.

One of the best games on PSX but not the best. As for all formats at the time, it wasn't the best, that would be Ocarina of Time, as far as on PSX though, probs MGS, Final Fantasy 7&8, Resident Evil:DC/Resi 2 and Silent Hill are the games I remember most fondly.
