Nastasha Romanenko is Solid
Snake's codec contact on
matters related to nuclear
weapons. After the events of
Metal Gear Solid, her character
writes an autobiography titled In
the Darkness of Shadow
Moses: The Unofficial Truth and
then forms "Philanthropy" (an
anti-proliferation group) with the

summary of Metal Gear Solid

undisclosed plot details about
the events of the games).

18. Gameplay
• The player must navigate the protagonist Solid Snake through the game's
areas without being detected. Detection sets off an alarm, which draws
armed enemies to his location.
• To remain undetected, the player can perform techniques which make use
of Solid Snake's abilities and the environment, such as crawling under
objects, using boxes as cover, ducking or hiding around walls, and making
noise to distract the enemy. These are carried out using the third-person
camera; which slowly changes its angle to give the player the best strategic
view of the area possible, and an on-screen radar, which displays enemy
personnel and their field of vision. Solid Snake is armed with many items
and gadgets, such as thermal goggles and a cardboard box disguise. This
emphasis on stealth promotes a less violent form of gameplay — firefights
against large enemy teams will likely result in heavy damage and possible
death for the protagonist.
• Intermixed with the player's progress are plot-progressing cut scenes and
radio conversations as well as encounters with boss characters. To
progress, players must discover weaknesses of these enemies (such as
attack patterns) to defeat them. This is where the player will most often use
the game's weapon-set, ranging from pistols to rocket launchers and hand
grenades. Game controls and play strategies can also be accessed via the
Codec radio, where advice is delivered from Snake's support crew as if the
character were playing the video game.

20. Metal Gear Solid: Integral
Metal Gear Solid: Integral is an international version with
additional features and an extra disc of additional missions
(established as virtual training). New features included costumes,
the "Very Easy" difficulty level and three game modes, one using
the PocketStation. A Windows PC port of Integral was also
released in Europe and North America in late 2000 with
PocketStation support removed. Scoring 83 in Metacritic's
aggregate, the game was criticized for "graphic glitches", the aged
nature of the port, and being essentially identical to the
PlayStation version.

An enhanced remake of Metal Gear Solid, titled Metal
Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was developed by
Silicon Knights under the direction of Hideo Kojima
and released for the Nintendo GameCube in North
America, Japan, and Europe in March 2004. While
Twin Snakes was largely developed at Silicon Knights,
its cut scenes were developed in-house at Konami
and directed by Japanese film director Ryuhei
Kitamura, reflecting his dynamic signature style,
utilizing bullet-time photography and choreographed
gunplay extensively. While the storyline and settings
of the game were unchanged, a variety of gameplay
features from Sons of Liberty were added such as the
first person aiming and hanging from bars on walls.
The graphics were also updated.

23. Metal Gear Solid: Digital
Graphic Novel
Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel is an interactive
comic for the PlayStation Portable. Based on the Metal
Gear Solid comic book adaptation, it features visual
enhancements and two interactive modes designed to
give further insight into the publication. Upon viewing the
pages, the player can open a "scanning" interface to
search for characters and items in a three dimensional
view. Discoveries are added to a database which can be
traded with other players via Wi-Fi. The "mission mode"
allows the player to add collected information into a
library. This information must be properly connected to
complete a mission.
