GEAR SOLID: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS delivers the latest bullet-ridden adventures
of Solid Snake, a crack soldier who is part of a worldwide nanotechnology network known as
the Sons of the Patriots. Time is running out for Snake though, as he will soon
succumb to the FOXDIE virus, but not before spreading the disease to nearly
everyone he encounters, in essence becoming a walking biological weapon. Snake
will need every advantage he can get, as the SOP network is about to be hacked
by his old enemy Liquid Ocelot, and whoever controls SOP controls the world.
