Although it's not without its share of issues, the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is a veritable goldmine of classic gaming moments from one of the medium's most impactful franchises. The first three Metal Gear Solid games all represent time capsules of a bygone era of gaming, complete with the cinematic flair and high levels of strangeness that Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima is known for. Perhaps no other iconic moment included in the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is as surprising as the incredible bait-and-switch that Metal Gear Solid 2 pulls on players by switching up the game's protagonist.
