Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Release Date

4th February 2005, 9:26pm
Atari Australia and Konami have announced today that the release date for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will be Thursday 17 March 2005 in Australia and New Zealand. Also, four new gameplay elements have been included for the PAL release.

PAL versions will feature a new ‘DUEL MODE’ which allows players to battle through the game’s Boss Fights independently. Information is also provided about the adversaries Snake faces throughout the game. A ‘DEMO THEATRE’ has also been created, which showcases the great cutscenes in order, so you can view the entire story easily.

We'll also be able to enjoy a new ‘European Extreme’ difficulty level, which will be much harder, as well as two new levels in the light-hearted ‘Snake Vs Monkey’ mode (wherein the Metal Gear Solid hero finds himself chasing and trying to catch errant monkeys!) There's new kinds of facepaint too.

While Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is already one of the most anticipated games of the year. Set in the 1964, the game is centered in the escalating Cold War, with central hero Snake armed with weapons of the era and charged with recovering a defecting scientist.
