Konami's Metal Gear® franchise debuted 15 years ago with the Japanese release of Metal Gear® in 1987. The series is centered on the adventures of secret agent Solid Snake and is consistently recognized for its original game design and intricate story that is full of plot twists and human drama. In 1998, Konami introduced Metal Gear Solid® for the PlayStation® game console, which was instantly noted for its stunning graphics, unique narrative style and superlative gameplay. Metal Gear Solid® earned widespread critical acclaim, defined a benchmark of quality in the action genre and sold over 6 million units worldwide. Building on the precedent set by the original blockbuster, Metal Gear Solid®2: Sons of LibertyTM was released in 2001 for the PlayStation®2 with overwhelming praise from gamers and industry pundits, selling over 7 million units worldwide. In 2002, Konami released, Metal Gear Solid®2: Substance, the expanded edition of Metal Gear Solid®2: Sons of LibertyTM, for the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft, PlayStation®2 and PC DVD-ROM to much fanfare. Later this fall, Konami will release Metal Gear Solid® The Twin Snakes, the first Metal Gear® adventure exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube.
