This song (and the game) are often overlooked by many people. When you think the words "Metal Gear" and "Red Sun", you probably think of Sundowner.

But this game is actually pretty good. I know, It doesn't look or feel as good as later titles, since it lacks the effect of the Cinematics present in Metal Gear Solid 1 and every Metal Gear title after that. But in terms of Storytelling and gameplay, for Its time, It was quite an achievement.

It wasn't released in the west until Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, over 20 years after it was released in Japan. I'm actually glad that the version I played was edited with Sprites that looked a lot more like Solid Snake then Mel Gibson, probably because those sprites were closer to how I saw them when I played Metal Gear Solid.

Although that fight between Grey Fox and Snake in Metal Gear 2 was kinda disappointing, considering that It sounded way more epic when it was described in MGS1, where it was said that they fought to the death on a minefield. I played this years after first playing the original Metal Gear Solid.
