兒子的一篇 GAMING 短文

兒子小的時候很愚頑，遠沒有他的妹妹那麽聰明伶俐。但他跟別的男孩子比，也有一個明顯的不同之處。當他上學念書，可以讀了，帶他去 Toy's R Us 揀玩具，每次他挑選玩具時，總是仔仔細細的讀玩具正反兩麵的使用說明部分。我們觀察過，大多數的男孩子都隻看玩具的正麵，從不讀反麵的小字。家裏沒有人教過他這樣做，不知道他是從哪裏學來的。

大概他玩具使用說明書看得夠多了，這次他在他的校報上發表了一篇短文，也是寫 Game 的，金筆覺得不錯，那來這裏獻醜，盼望個位高手多多指教。

Metal Gear Solid 3:Subsistence Stealth and Espionage at Its Best

By 金筆生 (son)

The Metal Gear Solid series of Konami has always set a standard of quality for console gaming. Now, with their final release on the PS2, Metal Gear Solid 3:Subsistence allows players to compete against each other online and prove their espionage skills. Fans of this series will appreciate the return of many characters and voice actors while new players have the option of playing the remakes of Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2 that come with the game. Metal Gear Solid 3 online comes with a variety of different modes, including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Sneaking Missions, Capture Missions, and Rescue Missions. Metal Gear Solid 3 Online does have its glitches, but what online game doesn't?
 
The game features a stamina bar which, the more you run around the more stamina you use up. This makes sense so you need to hunt wild life and eat it. You can now cure your body using bandages, cigars (whatever to get rid of leaches), fix broken bones, dig out bullets, and fix cuts. As always, the controls of the game are impressively realistic by being pressure sensitive, making it harder and more practical to sneak around. Although the newly innovated 3D camera takes some time to get used to, it doesn’t do any harm to the game. The graphics in this game are amazing; the character models are highly detailed to provide a better look at old characters. But, as expected, the enemies lack variety. My favorite addition to the series are the new camouflages like face paint and hats such as a crocodile head hat to hide in swamps and get past guards.
 
Music is unchanged from the old games. The musical score is just as powerful as it was before, and the sound effects are very well done. I especially like being able to choose either no background music or some background music online. You can choose music from the old versions of Metal Gear and also from any of the Metal Gear Solid games. The sound is still featured in Dolby Pro Logic II. This is a great action game that has an addicting game engine and story line that allows new players to assimilate into this great series.
