Metal Gear Solid is a stealth action game directed by Hideo Kojima. The game was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and first published by Konami in 1998 for thePlayStation. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most important games of alltime, and is heralded as the game that made the stealth genre popular. It is the third canonicaltitle released in the Metal Gear series, being a direct sequel to Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake.
REX was the ultimate Metal Gear, as it was not only capable of delivering a nuclear weaponboth to and from any point on the globe, it could do so “undetectably” and “untraceably.” Allprevious Metal Gears were merely mobile ground-based launch systems for nuclear missiles,little more than the land-based equivalent of ballistic missile submarines. REX utilized a railgun, which fired much smaller projectiles without chemical propellants and contained stealthtechnology factors which made them virtually invisible to radar. It thus fatally undermined the‘no first strike’ principle of Mutually Assured Destruction whoever controlled it could launch anuclear attack at any target at any time, with no warning before impact. In addition, its missilesalso have enough power to destroy underground bunkers, a lesson that was learned from theGulf War.
