Metal Gear is a series of Japanese video games, created by Hideo Kojima and published by Konami. The franchise successfully combines action-adventure genre with a stealth genre. The series’ first installment, Metal Gear, was released in 1987. In Metal Gear players take control over a special forces operative, named Solid Snake, who needs to find the titular “Metal Gear”, a bipedal walking tank. Since 1987 several sequels for multiple consoles have been released. These sequels expand the original game's plot by adding new characters (both opposing and supporting Snake), while there have also been a few prequels exploring the origins of many characters. The franchise has also been adapted into other media (e.g. comics and novels). The most notable traits of Metal Gear franchise are its intricate storylines, fourth wall humor, and exploration of many philosophical and political themes, with multiple references to Hollywood movies as an extra flavor. Metal Gear was immensely successful, winning many awards and selling over 42 million copies worldwide. This game is a true classic. Is Metal Gear the mother of all stealth games?
