* Snake wears a "Jack" mask at the outset of the
third MGS3SE variant. Only after falling from the
back of a plane, opening his parachute, gliding down
into the forest, losing some gear on a tree branch,
and landing like a man-beast does he peel away the
mask and discard it. Actually, it's only after Jack
receives the first call from his C.O. that he
removes his mask. Snake begins the game as his
grizzled old self in the other three variants.
* Before Snake can leave the first area, he'll have
to retrieve his gear from the tree branch. Climb the
tree by walking up to it and then press TRIANGLE to
climb the trunk. Once on a branch, press TRIANGLE
again to hang down and then sidle towards the
stranded backpack to take it back.
* After sending Snake plummeting over a cliff, the
words "Snake is Dead" appear on the screen and his
C.O. screams... "SNAKE!!!" The words will eventually
morph into TIME PARADOX. If Snake is sent into the
deep part of the alligator swamp, he'll eventually
drown. Walking over an alligator's tail will also
make the beast whip it around to cause some damage.
* After playing the game using the 3rd Person View,
one wonders why Kojima didn't implement it in the
first place. The game is a whole new experience and
gamers will play through the entire game again to
check out the refreshing view.
DVD #2 Contents
* The intro in DVD2 shows Snake being commended
by his cohorts followed by scenes of a small
regiment of soldiers following Snake into missions
of subterfuge and sabotage and text which touts the
joys of Metal Gear Online. A whole group of soldiers
move stealthily in cardboard crates and follow their
fearless leader. Super comical. In another scene, a
dozen or so targeting lasers roam Snake's body while
he stands against a column. The intro cinema
continues with more scenes of multiplayer online
action where Snake shows his crew how to move and
attack. They strut and synchronize their movements
later on in and the intro ends with Snake standing
in front of a barracks while his crew is behind him
above the barracks.
* The options in disk 2 are as follows
ONLINE MODE : Set up an internet connection
and enjoy Metal Gear Online.
SNAKE VS MONKEY : The Piposaru apes prove
worthy opponents against the super agent in seven
levels
/Escape from the Jungle
