The main character for the series is Solid Snake. He is a soldier who does sneaking (hiding) missions by himself, much like James Bond. He is a clone of a famous soldier named Big Boss. The games have a large amount of story about these two men and the things that happen to them. Many players say the games are like watching a James Bond movie or reading a book about spies.
The series is named after a type of robotic tanks for each games, whom Snake destroys each of them.
The latest game, Metal Gear Survive, was made for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.
