Game For Game: Policenauts V Metal Gear Solid 1

Which do you think is better?

If you could swap them around so MGS1 was only released in Japan and Policenauts got the worldwide release with full English script and voice overs, would you? Disregard the rest of the MGS series from your opinion, it's game for game, as if MGS1 ended the series.

So yeah, which do you prefer?

I really can't decide...I'm swinging towards Policenauts, and I guess if it got a full official English release I'd definitely prefer it. Likewise I think MGS1 is a masterpiece itself and the voice acting is the best I've heard in any game.

I'm gonna think about it a while longer before I choose.

I think MGS is a better game because there's more to do. Pointing and clicking and the shootings scenes of Policenauts tended to wear on me after a while. I don't feel there's much replay value as far as game play with Policenauts.

Whilst I really liked Policenauts (heck, it's one of the best adventure games I've ever played now), I'd have to say MGS1, since it was my first experience playing a Kojima title and it felt so new to me. MGS1 really shook the gaming world when it came out, whilst Policenauts is this cult point and click adventure game, it just goes to show how talented Kojima really is developing such a varied bunch of games.

As far as story goes though, they're both pretty much on the same level of brilliance for me.
