Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004)

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was initially released in November 2004 and is a prequel to the Metal Gear Solid series. The game differentiated itself from its predecessors with its jungle setting. Stealth is still the core mechanic, though players don't have access to the many high-tech gadgets as before and must use the nature around them to their advantage to survive.
