    Does anyone know Brad's ranking order for Metal Gear Solid games?
     
    #1: Metal Gear Solid 1 (I'm pretty sure this is his favorite)
    #2: Metal Gear Solid 4 (his review led me to believe this would be his 2nd favorite) 
    #3: Metal Gear Solid 3
    #4: Metal Gear Solid 2
     
    Note: I don't know if he even played Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes so I did not include it.
     
    Can anyone here rank his favorite games in this series better than I did above?
     
    Also what are YOUR favorite games in this series.  Here are my favorites in the series:
     
    #1 Metal Gear Solid 1  (best)
    #2 Metal Gear Solid 3
    #3 Metal Gear Solid 4 
    #4 Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes
    #5 Metal Gear Solid 2 (worse)

    Agreed.  The 08 GOTY podcast led me to believe 2 (Sons of Liberty) is the lowest on his list.  However, this same podcast is making me wonder whether or not he thinks 4 surpassed 1.

    I have only played the first so far, but once I get around to popping 2 and 3 in my PS2, I'll let you know.
    PS the first was great.

    Really the order is kinda hard for me, they are all such great games excluding #2. Really its like 1, 4, 3, 2 i'd say but the difference between 1, 4 and 3 is so marginally small it's hard to decide. I think 3 is last because of the issues I had with it playing it on my PS3 with Software BC as I never played it when it was originally released. 2 was dreadfully weird at the end and I couldn't let that go. 1 and 4 were both perfect and I suppose 1 is at the top cause it was my during my prime into becoming a gamer with my PS1.

    @AgentJ:  I think you will agree with me that 2 has good gameplay and cutscene graphics........but the story sucks really really bad.  I was extremely disappointed in the story of 2 and it sounds like Brad feels the same way.

    I watched the Screw Attack retrospect and it didnt seem that bad to me, but perhaps I have to experience it,

    @Subject2Change: Yeah I definitely agree with your comments on 2.  My reason for putting 1 first is because the bosses are so memorable and the story is so awesome.  I love everything about this MGS1.

    It was pretty lame.  The ending is a kick in the balls and Raiden is fine as a character but he's not Solid Snake.  For what people were expecting it really was a tough game to swallow.  You have to also realize that at the time it came out there was a pre-release demo that was a huge deal and a rare occurrence for the time.  And guess who you controlled in the demo?  Snake, who you only play for the opening sequence of the game that the demo covered.  It was really just pulling the rug out from under the fans.  The environment was also pretty damn boring to run around in, and those damn drones!  Fuck those things.
     
    For me it's:
     
    MGS1
    MGS4
    MGS3
    MGS2
     
    A couple of SPOILER notes:
