- A Second Blu-ray disc with the following featurettes:

(2) 20 Years of Metal Gear: a brief description of the progression of Metal Gear games from 1988 to 2008.
(a) Researching Modern Warfare: This shows the military training of the production team to produce more realistic game play.
(b) The Road to Realism: A feature on the travels of Kojima's development team from Morocco to Africa and other locales, leaving no detail unnoticed.
(c) Characters Come to Life: This section shows the motion capture, designs and creation of the game characters, from their Japanese and English counterparts.
(d) The Sound and The Fury: This feature shows the challenges of foley artists to create accurate in-game sounds, from the crunch of gravel underfoot to missile explosions.
(e) Kojima Productions Reaching Out: This section details the trips Kojima productions takes around the world to get in touch with Metal Gear fans far and near.
(f) The Outsider on The Inside: This is a feature on an English-speaking jack-of-all-trades who took his love of video games and pursued a career in Japan.
(g) Hello Logan: A feature on the company behind the in-game commercials
(3) A selection screen for all four of the in-game commercials:
(a) Bomb Shelter Buffet
(b) The 7th Circle
(c) Body of Armor
(d) Celebrity Moralist
The featurettes can be watched with Japanese or English subtitles.
This is quite a nice package of extra materials. It used to be very difficult, if not impossible, to see the trials and tribulations of video game production in a Japanese setting - and it is a real treat to see the unsung heroes behind such an epic game.
Through these extra materials, we gain a deeper understand of Hideo Kojima's inner passion to deliver a video game that not only entertains, but gives players a chance to enrich their lives. It's clear that with over 200 people working for over 3 years on this game, it was a labor of love...and it shows.
My only complaint is that the music in this limited edition is more of a "greatest hits" selection. However, that can be overlooked, with the other extras. If you want the complete soundtrack, you can order it HERE.
If you're a Metal Gear nut like I am, this should already be in your library. If not, you're definitely missing out.
Very highly recommended.
