VGC Hails 3-Game Metal Gear Collection as MGS4 Finally Escapes PS3 Lock

Summary
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 earns VGC’s strongest praise largely because it brings Metal Gear Solid 4 to modern platforms after years as a PS3-only release.
MGS4 still shows its age in controls and its famously long cutscenes, but the review says the port runs well, keeps its eccentric original content intact, and remains a strong game.
Peace Walker and Ghost Babel turn the package into more than a single-game nostalgia play: VGC calls Peace Walker one of portable Metal Gear’s best entries and notes Ghost Babel is being rereleased for the first time.
Three critically acclaimed games in one set leave the collection close to Konami’s broader goal of putting nearly all of Metal Gear on current platforms, even if newcomers may still need Vol. 1 before tackling MGS4.
