Metal Gear Solid 3 Set for March
Euro version to include extras not found in US or Japan.
Living in Europe has its benefits. There's the sheer history of the place and the thousands of museums filled with priceless pieces of art. Getting games last, however, is not as high on the list. But, as is the case with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, being last can also have its advantages.
Konami has announced that the eagerly awaited game will hit stores in Europe at the beginning of March, long after both Japan and North America have had their fill. To make amends for the tardiness, the game will come with several extras exclusive to the European version.
The extras will include at least two new ways of experiencing the game: Duel Mode allows you to play against just the game's colourful bosses, while the Demo Theatre lets you watch any of the cinema clips to catch up on the story.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will be released in Europe of 4 March exclusively for PlayStation 2.
