Adding this in. I'd disagree with Kojima about Hollywood depicting Americans as heroes, though (if anything, they're more content with anti-American messaging as well).
'''Metal Gear Solid''' is the first in a long line of Playstation based stealth [[Video game|action games]]. These games serve as sequels to a pair of games released on the MSX2 system in Japan. They are known as Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. The series deal primarily with conspiracy theories involving nuclear weapons, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and censorship.
