Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are now backward compatible on Xbox One
Hideo Kojima's stealth-action classics Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, arriving in the form of the Metal Gear Solid HD Edition, are the latest titles to join Microsoft's ever-expanding list of backward-compatible games on Xbox One.
It's been a distinctly Konami-flavoured few months for Xbox One backward compatibility, with the Silent Hill HD Collection and Zone of Enders HD Collection recently arriving on the console. Bundle number three, the Metal Gear Solid HD Edition, launched digitally on Xbox 360 in 2012 and gathers together Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It's not to be confused with the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, which released a year earlier in the west, and also included Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
Both numbered entries in Kojima's legendary series are, of course, stone-cold classics. Metal Gear Solid 2 released on PS2 in 2001, and scored a Eurogamer 9/10. "It doesn't represent the pinnacle of gaming," said Bramwell, "but it does offer something truly unique and consistently innovative... There won't be another one of this calibre for several years".
