This is NOT an official Metal Gear game as Hideo Kojima had NOTHING to do with it. This, like the Metal Gear NES version is an example of a company trying to make a quick buck off of a great license without trying to spend too much money. This is a game that was specifically made for the American market to compete with games like Contra because the whole Stealth aspect of gameplay seemed inappropriate for the American consumer. Anyways this is an abomination compared to Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, with terrible graphics, complete lack of focus, and nothing worth your money. Avoid it at all costs, though SOME of the fundamentals are there, 95% aren't.
