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.

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;
