Game of the Month: February 2012 - Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D

Good choice even if it's not really a portable friendly game (too much cinematic)...

Perfect game to kick off this new feature. I can only hope COMPLETE wins next month.

More like game of the century. Well the original Subsistence version at least.

It would be The last story for us Europeans as MGS: SE3D is out next week in Europe. Also, I don't think Mario party 9 should be mentioned in the article as it may have been reviewed in February but its still a March release.

@FonisofCruxis
The regioning confused me for a minute....but I think it's just the top game reviewed that month in general, not necessarily games released that month.
According the the sentence below the heading.

I really didn't enjoy the demo, so I think I'm going to be giving MGS a miss.

It's probably a good game, I just really couldn't stand the controls (even with a circle pad pro)

I guess Resident Evil didn't take it because Europe got it first in January then?

What humorless committee of colorblinds put this brown mess above Rhythm Heaven? >: (

Yay, I love GotM features.

this ???
Dillon western was better than this. im sorry, but i totally disagree.
mgs wasnt made for handheld.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is a fantastic port but it's just MGS3 nothing special. If i had to pick a Feb game. it would easily be Resident Evil: Revelations. That game really show off what the 3DS can do graphically. Plus it has an online mode which is a nice.

SMT:DS2 is my Game of the Month, with RHF being a worthy runner-up.

ive never played a mg since the NES version.. and i never beat that one either.. i think i got like 1 hour into it.. smoked a cigarette, and lost interest...

Great Pick! This was my first MGS, and I fell in love with it (even without the CPP, the controls were completely fine). This is a masterpiece of the gaming media, and anyone old enough to purchase it should not miss out.

I think Resident Evil Revelations should be best of February, BUT that's just my opinion.

I agree with Steampunk, it's a new game, it shows off what the system can do graphically, has great online and is a great story to it.

Resident Evil Revelations is my game of the month.

Am I missing something, didn't Resident Evil come out in January?

@GARF13LD It came out in America in February.

I would have said Strider.

Rhythm heaven fever, best game of the month

More like biggest disappointment of the decade(s).

Metal Gear 3D is an excellent game but Resident Evil: Revelations is my game of the month for February.

My friend bought this game so i will deffinetly be borrowing this game from him.

Metal Gear 3D is a good game but ResidentEvil Revelations was the game of the month best graphics on 3ds and original title

Next month is obviously gonna be Kid Icarus... imo

I'm physic .... I see Kid Icarus: Uprising in your future

RE: Revelations was mine, 2nd place Devil Survivor 2, then MGS: Snake Eater 3D

The Last Story is my winner, but then again I haven't played MGS3D.

I'm waiting for the HD collection on Vita for this one

RE:Revelations was mine.

I approve of this new feature.
Good pick in a good month.

i think all MGS titles are epic pieces of gaming history, all mainstream MGS are cult classics, so i think it deserves the title more than RE:R which´s story i believe to be the most ridiculous dissapointment in all RE series, close to RE:5

I really did not like the demo, so i will skip on this one.

RE Revelations >>>>>>> MGS3D

Bleh you all and your RE:R. It's gross as hell. >:[

@TeeJay: You may find it 'gross as hell', but clearly other users are enjoying it if they would have chosen it as their Game of the Month. You are also welcome to state your own personal Game of the Month if you like. :3

RE: Revelations is Game of the Month for me.

Just beat the Fear in MGS3D (chickened out and killed him instead of just knocking him out). Still loving it.

Kid Icarus, by a landslide, and almost unanimous, calling it.

@RE:REVSppl MGS:3D G.O.T.M. no questions asked, face the facts.

Based on the demos RE was far better, better controls, better graphics, everything. I just don't get the MGS thing, cheesy but not enough to even be funny, and really wonky gameplay.

@Linkstrikesback
That's a damn shame, because the game is just amazing. What about the CPP controls don't you like? I find they work well and replicate a real console controller layout.

@Warioswoods

I am color blind, yet I am loving the hell off of Rhythm Heaven Fever. That is definitely my pick on Wii, with Revelations winning in the 3DS front.

MGS3 would have been great as an exclusive, but having been released after the HD collection really limits its appeal for people who have an HD console. It would have been better to have an all new game, like Revelations.

It was a solid month for games, even on Nintendo platforms. I'm going to guess that Rayman Origins will win next month over Kid Icarus.

Both RE: Revelations and MGS Snake Eater 3D are fantastic and deserving of the award, but I'd have to give it to RE just because it's a newer game and a better show case for what the 3DS can do since it was built ground up for it.

Horrible choice. The Last Story is a fantastic new game, not low-quality rehash of an old game like MGS 3D.

@Mahe Please tell you've played the game (not just the demo). It may not be the prettiest version of one of the best games of all time, but for my money it's still a better remake than Ocarina of Time 3D.

Crush3d for me. Hardly been able to put it down! Yay to game of the month features!

Motorstorm R.C for me.

I've tried the demo again, and I still am finding the camera controls awkward. I seem to always be running into things, getting caught, and finding it hard to aim. I probably would enjoy it more if I had the CPP, but with the 4 button camera controls it is a pain to play. It's sad because it looks like a game I would enjoy. Maybe I'll pick it up years from now in a bargain bin with a used CPP to go along with it.

The controls get on my nerves...

Good thing I bought this game, I'm starting to like the story & the game itself. MGS:Snake Eater 3D was the first MGS game I ever bought & played. I'm having a hard time dealing with the camera controls. I don't use Circle Pad Pro because its not available in my location yet.
