'Metal Gear' is a survivor
When Hideo Kojima , the creator of the original "Metal Gear," left Konami, it seemed like the action-adventure series was over. Yet here it is again — this time in the form of "Metal Gear Survive," which introduces zombie attacks to gameplay.
"Metal Gear Survive" is unlike previous "Metal Gear" games, which focused on stealth. Instead, this game is more about securing and protecting a base from relentless zombie hordes by laying traps and positioning weapons. It features weapons-crafting and inventory management (as well as character customization), so there is still plenty to keep players busy. It can be played solo with three AI team players, but "Survive" really comes to life as a multiplayer game. The playable demo showcased at last year's Tokyo Game Show was well-received and fun, and the finished game has proved to be just as well made.
