Embodying Big Boss as a Villain: A Unique Experience in Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes
As chief editor, I continually revisit Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, the prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, because it delivers some of the finest gameplay in Hideo Kojima’s action and espionage saga. Its main mission and side content overflow with Easter eggs for longtime fans. Ground Zeroes is unique: the only installment where players fully embody Big Boss, the legendary villain we so often hear about. Here, you are the antagonist, witnessing Big Boss outpace Cypher and Skull Face’s troops within Camp Omega, Cuba. When detected, you can strategically slow time, lining up lethal headshots. Unlike the convoluted narrative of The Phantom Pain, Ground Zeroes presents Big Boss at his most raw and uncompromising. Released in March 2014, Ground Zeroes immediately distinguished itself with its focused plot, becoming a definitive stealth experience. This top-tier third-person espionage game even incorporates first-person perspective tricks to amplify player engagement. While The Phantom Pain weaves a more elaborate story, connecting Big Boss to Solid Snake from the original Metal Gear (MSX, 1987), it’s Ground Zeroes that offers the purest, most direct experience of playing as the iconic villain. It’s an experience that remains essential.
