¡®Metal Gear¡¯ is a survivor

When Hideo Kojima , the creator of the original ¡°Metal Gear,¡± left Konami, it seemed like the action-adventure series was over. Yet here it is again ¡ª this time in the form of ¡°Metal Gear Survive,¡± which introduces zombie attacks to gameplay.

¡°Metal Gear Survive¡± is unlike previous ¡°Metal Gear¡± games, which focused on stealth. Instead, this game is more about securing and protecting a base from relentless zombie hordes by laying traps and positioning weapons. It features weapons-crafting and inventory management (as well as character customization), so there is still plenty to keep players busy. It can be played solo with three AI team players, but ¡°Survive¡± really comes to life as a multiplayer game. The playable demo showcased at last year¡¯s Tokyo Game Show was well-received and fun, and the finished game has proved to be just as well made.
