Your the first person i known till date that has said they don't like metal gear solid 1,

COME ON, thats a classic, MGS series is the best ever, even though i like final fantasy series as well but MGS is really awesome.
For the PS1, MGS had superb storyline, graphics was best back then, gameplay was much better than sypthon filter etc; The music was such great i still can't get the tune out of my head.

MGS1 was alright but the twin snakes remake was waaaay better imo.mgs2 was the best not including the twin snakes and 3 was good but not what everyone expected i think.

 

[Eranmane]

MGS2 was by far the worst. MGS1, 3 and PO were AMAZING games. Also love the soundtrack

Just curious , In metal gear solid PO , Is it the same snake from all the other MGS games or another snake its kinda confusing seeing him with an eyepatch and without one xD

Overall all metal gear solid games were good, i even liked MGS 2, at that time that game had the best graphics for PS2 and it still is one of the best. MG portable was a total shock for me, i thought it won't be that good on PSP but it really is, very similar to MGS 3 apart from the jungle setting or climbing trees etc;
