Hands down the best PSP2 game ever..Greatest prequel to
Metal Gear Solid 3 is amazing. Everything about this game is gold. Visuals, Music, voice acting, and superb gameplay. Hideo Kujima is a Genious. I had my doublts on this after the ever so great yet dissapointing Metal Gear Solid 2 but I was wrong. Metal Gear Solid 3 proves to be one of the best games around and is one of the biggest titles of the year. Forget Grand Theft Auto and play this game! Metal Gear Solid 3 is not only one of the best games ever created but it's quiet simply the best MGS game. It has everthing you'll love from the first one and times ten mixed with steriods!
Another thing that makes the new gameplay of Metal Gear Solid 3 is the CQC and the new survival Menue which lets you eat, cure self and so on which is a great element to the MGS series. What also makes Metal Gear the best in the series is that the game is suprisingly long taking about 20 to 22 hours(It took me 18 hours)and trust me evertime you're in a new area you'll just stop and stare at the lushis graphics of the beautiful Jungle and its invorments. Metal Gear Solid 3 is also superb cause of the amazing boss battles. One of the biggest parts of the game is the Sorrow who is the coolest boss in the game(and the most mysterious). Overall Metal Gear Solid 3 proves to up the anti. So let's get to it.
Graphics:
The visuals are amazingly detailed especially in First Person mode. The tree's are very detailed some of the visuals on the water a greatly well done and even though you'll find som slow glitches it won't stop you from enjoying this superb game. The characters are very well modeld especially EVA(huba huba) and this truly deserves a star.
Sound:
The Sound is great! The voice acting is once again amazingly done by David Hayter and the rest of the MGS casts. The sound of the Jungle is great. The sound is pretty much like all the other MGS games....DETAILED! The Detailed sound of this Game once again deserves a star rating..
Gameplay:
Well...Were do I start off. Well first off it's awesome! The new CQC(Close Quarters Combat)is a great new gameplay added in the Metal Gear series. Though it's great it is a bit complicated because there are numerouse CQC's to do. You can slice there throat, interigate them, or choke them to death but there is abunch that I can't name. The new Survival Menue is greatly well done.. If you have a cut or you aight something rotten you can always go to the Survival menue and choose one of a few things you can do to solve the problem, for instance this one is for CURE which you use to cure cuts, broken bones ect. The backpack is great cause it holds alot of Items you can't carry while in the game. The codec is also new though I must say I miss the old Codec in MGS and MGS2 but oh well. There are some new weapons added to the MGS series like THE SHOTGUN! You can also change your Uniform to blend in with the ivorments and it's much easier and you'll have a better chance losing the guards. Overall the Biggest aspect of Metal Gear Solid 3 is the gameplay and deffinetly earns a star rating.
The Music is so amazing in this game that the "James Bond" like theme is better then the James Bond theme itself! I loved the music in this game. Some people are complaining that the game is too unrealistic cause the animals you kill turn into rations..well I'm not trying to sound harsh but the game isn' trying to be extreamly realistic. Is San Andreas very realistic?...I thougth so...
Best Ps2 game ever....

Outstanding compilation definitely a must-have collecti
This truly is the best compilation of material from the British super group. You get great cuts like "Heat of the Moment", "Time Will Tell", "Don't Cry", "Time Again" etc. plus two B-sides, "Ride Easy" and "Lying to Yourself." This is a complete gathering of songs from the Asia, Alpha, Astra and Then and Now CD's. You can't go wrong if you want to listen to vintage 80's classic rock. "The Very Best Of Asia" truly is what it says. This 18-track compilation encompasses over 77 minutes of music from one of the greatest progressive rock bands of the '80s, Asia. Most of the tracks feature the band's original line-up of bassist/lead vocalist John Wetton, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Geoff Downes and drummer Carl Palmer. All of the music is taken from Asia's classic trilogy of original albums, "Asia", "Alpha" and "Astra" along with one track from the "Then and Now" compilation and three rare B-sides.
Classic tracks such as "Only Time Will Tell", "Heat Of The Moment", "Wildest Dreams", "Don't Cry", "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" and "Go" are all included here alongside powerful album tracks such as "Sole Survivor", "The Heat Goes On", "Open Your Eyes", "Here Comes The Feeling" and "Days Like These".
The band's strong musical hooks and unprecidented craft shine through in every track on this CD and offers an excellent sampling of Asia during its classic era during the 80s. John Wetton's commanding vocals, Steve Howe's soaring guitar work, Geoff Downes' melodic pop sensibilies rounded out by Carl Palmer's forceful powerhouse percussion gel into an effortless musical blend.
Beginning in the '90s, Asia went through a slew of personnel changes with Geoff Downes being the only original member left in the band. John Wetton left the band in 1991 and was replaced by John Payne who has remained with Asia ever since. Various guitarists and drummers have come and gone with the band over years - its current drummer being the legendary sessionman Chris Slade while the guitar slot is presently being filled by a relative newcomer named Guthrie Govan.
The original Asia band was a special treasure as clearly proven by the music in this compilation. While the current Asia continues to make great music, nothing can take the place of the classic band line-up that took the world by storm over 20 years ago. "The Very Best of Asia" captures the very essence of what Asia was all about and is a fantastic journey down memory lane.

One of decade's finest albums & Remastered version stil
Excellent service and condition and great wrapping during shipping. I would recommend this vendor. I gave a five star review for the original 90125 with the hits "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "Leave It" and "Changes". I also enjoyed the other staples "It Can Happen", "Hold On" and "Our Song." I also liked the bonus tracks, esp. "Make It Easy" sung by Trevor Rabin, "It Can Happen"/cinema version by Chris Squire and the power chord sound of "It's Over".
You get the classic sounds of the first 90125 and some quality bonus materials. This is one of the truly great YES CDs, and perhaps their last true masterpiece. Every note, every measure every nuance is positively creative, compelling and inspiring. All of their strengths are on display. This album sounded warm, full, layered and intricate when it first arrived. Its initial transition to CD was similarly amazing, but this remaster is astonishing!
The story is that YES had folded its tent after DRAMA. Squire and White had released a single and were contemplating their next move when they discovered Rabin. Tony Kaye re-surfaced and a quartet was born, CINEMA. It was Rabin who suggested a different singer and front man than he, and so Anderson walked back in, and YES reinvented itself. It was a heady trip from there on. The concerts had an energy and dynamic they never had before. They had managed to set themselves on a mission that would carry them through BIG GENERATOR, UNION, TALK before fizzling out again. Here, the music is just so terrific, the harmony and choir work so spot on, and the energy so undeniable that this is the benchmark for recreating yourself. Every single track, especially the a capella "Leave It" is thrilling.
It is remasterings like these that justify the entire process. If you know the msuic, you'll be stunned by how good this is. If you are curious about YES, well, it doesn't get any better than this. A Superb Recording in Every Respect.
