Metal Gear Saga
From the Metal Gear Wiki
Metal Gear Saga is the title of two separately produced documentaries released in DVD format covering the Metal Gear franchise, the first one released in 2006 and a second in 2008. The title Metal Gear Saga was originally used by a public presentation of the Metal Gear series Kojima and his staff conducted for the Metal Gear franchise in 2005.
[edit] Volume 1
The first volume of Metal Gear Saga was given to customers who pre-ordered the North American version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence in 2006. The disc came packaged with the initial release of the PAL version of Subsistence. It was never released in Japan.
The documentary covers the development of each game from the series' fictional chronology, beginning with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and progressing to the remainder of the series, briefly touching the then newly-unveiled Metal Gear Solid 4 (Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops was not announced yet). The documentary features interviews with Hideo Kojima where he reveals specific details of each game, as well as his thoughts on the NES version of Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge. The disc contains preview trailers of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Metal Gear Acid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4.

[edit] Volume 2
The second volume was originally released in Japan in 2007 (where it was simply titled Metal Gear Saga) as a bonus to customers who purchased the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Box Set. In North American and England, an English version of the documentary was released as a bonus to customers who pre-ordered Metal Gear Solid 4.
The documentary narrates the fictional events of the Metal Gear storyline beginning with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and up to the events leading to Metal Gear Solid 4. The documentary centers around an undisclosed narrator (voiced by Masane Tsukuyama in Japanese and Guy Perryman in English) attempting to track Solid Snake and narrates the history surrounding him, his father Big Boss and his brothers Liquid and Solidus.
The disc contains all the preview trailers of Metal Gear Solid 4 released up to that point as a bonus.
