Story


Rogue members of FOXHOUND take over a nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island. They threaten to launch a nuclear attack unless their demands are met, one being that the United States turn over the remains of Big Boss (Solidus Snake). Colonel Roy Campbell brings in the best FOXHOUND soldier, Solid Snake to save the day. During the mission Solid discovers that he and Liquid Snake are brothers, clones created from Big Boss as part of a secret military project. Although Solid destroys Metal Gear Rex, he finds he has once again been used as a military pawn. In the end he leaves Shadow Moses with Meryl, determined to enjoy life and leave his soldier lifestyle behind him.
