01.Introduction
---------------

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the final (for now) chapter in the Metal 
Gear Solid trilogy. This game, to me, is the best in the series. The gameplay 
is in depth, and realistic, the music, sound, and graphics are amazing, and 
the story is very good. It completely pulls you in, and makes you feel like 
it's you on the mission, you in the jungle. It's feel is just absolutely 
stunning.

The goal of this guide is to provide a help source for the stealth based action
game that is MGS3. Read with caution. I have done my best to minimize the 
spoilers in this guide.

Furthermore, if this is your first MGS experience, detailed
summaries of the previous games in the Metal Gear universe have been included. 
Though I do recommend actually playing the games, if you're just looking to 
know the information, than look no further.
