You may not think it, but solid snake is an environmentalist.
He doesn't look like a tree hugger but he's determination to free the world of nuclear weapons makes his qualifications as a man of peace unquestionable. Snake is a hurt and bruised man, cynical and ruthless, but he's need for a liveable world cannot be dismissed.
He doesn't try to get the arms dealers to love him; he just goes in and crack heads until the job is done.
Up against him is a pantheon of warriors with various skills and abilities to try to stop Snake. From gun totting Revolver Ocelot, to mind bending Psycho Mantis each one has a job to prevent our hero to achieve it's goal: world peace.
Snake is no Rambo, he's clever, sneaky and enterprising enough to evade detection from the mindless clone guards that petrol every area of this environment. He's lean, mean, and a one man army against the ultimate doomsday weapon, Metal Gear.
With help from his team mates over his CODEC he gains enough knowledge and insight to navigate the sterile confinements of Liquid Snake's base.
The fact that Snake and his enemies are all connected deepens the fraternal nature of mankind that is set to explode.
It's the reason why I bought a PlayStation and still regard it as one of the great videogames of that era, if not of all time. Don your cardboard box and set off into the Alaska wilderness in a mechanised survival game that reminds that right is might.
