About the author: Introduction

Introduction to the metal gear solid peace walker guide by author vinheim, covering the game from start to finish spoiler-free.

Hello everybody, this is vinheim and welcome to my guide for metal gear solid peace walker. This project started when the game came out and its one of my favorite games and series overall. Its one of many guides I’ve written and I love this one in particular since its the first one I have on this site, gamerguides.com.

I’ll be covering from start to finish this game so you can get by the game with little to no problems so let’s start rocking this bad boy.

Also this is a spoiler-free guide. All the story’s ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such effect and I really think it’s not fair spoiling such story elements to you.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to email me: vinheim@gmail.com. I read and reply to each and every question so feel free to ask.

With that said, let’s start with the guide!
