Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

My 2nd Favorite In the Series.

This is going down is history as one of the best ps2 games evermade. I love how they introduced Raiden as the new character. Many people didn't like it,but I enjoyed the entire game.

My first MGS game

MGS2

The second game in the MGS series just cant seem to hold up against MGS. I remember this game being hyped to hell and back. This game was going to destroy all and own the world konami though. But it didnt. I will get the positives about this game out of the way. The controls are good. A little clunk but not unmanagable. The graphics are great. At the time this was the best looking ps2 game around. You also get some cool weapons and gadgets to play with. But unfortunately thats all the positives. I will list all the negatives, so hide your eyes fanboys. Dont read any further. These negatives dont hurt the game much but MGS2 still proved to not be what I was hoping for. The biggest one is you dont get to play as snake. Yes you can play as him in the tanker chapter and thats it. After that its all crap with raiden. Oh yeah you have to play as raiden through the rest of the game, which blows. That is another big negative about this game. The other one is the story. Kojima seems to have cast aside his MGS roots and went for a more Jap anime story. That translates into alot of cheesy corny dialogue. Crappy over the top action. melodramatic BS and other such jap anime crap. The 3rd one is the bosses. They look and sound like some thing straight from a anime cartoon. They are all ridicolously absurd. Its sad really because the MGS bosses were for the most part cool. But these bosses are lame. The dialogue in the game sounds like crap from anime as well. Its absolutely painful having to listen to it all. It makes me cringe actually. If you must play this game go ahead. Your not missing much. really your not. I doubt even if you played this game it wouldnt help MGS4s story seem anymore believable or understandable.

You need to play MGS 2!!

It boils down to this: You need to play Metal Gear Solid 2. When you think great PS2 games, this should be one which comes to mind. Its an old game but it is still...well..Just Amazing. Great Story...Great Game..Great Characters...SNAAAAK

The best game on the PS2!

MGS2 was ahead of its time, and still is the best game on PS2. Well Metal Gear Solid 2. Its been a good 5 years since it's release, but to me its the most amazing game. Yes I may have some slight bias towards it, but to me MGS2 was the reason to own a PS2. Where do I begin... Lets start with the original Metal Gear Solid. The game was pushing boundaries for its time. But even when we look back now, it had elements missing. Yes it was fun and amazing, but there were a few things missing. Something that is easily rectified in MGS2. MGS2 boosts amazing graphics. Even with the PS3 almost upon us, the graphics are great. Its one of the few games that have stood the test of time. Simple things such as shooting bottles, glass, mirrors and knocking over ice buckets. It all adds up to the perfect game. Gameplay wise, it has massively added to the original MGS. being able to shoot in first person, to hang over edges, being able to hold up guards, the added tranquilizer gun, the wide range of other guns, the two scenarios with two seperate heroes. It all makes this game to die for. MGS2 has great playback value. Collecting dogtags is great fun, and to collect their set from every level difficulty too. The stealth and bandana are available to use, as well as the digital camera. Who can forget the different costumes too? All of these make the game worth playing again. So MGS2 set the pace for future games. It was amazing to play, and is still the greatest game on PS2. Just perfect, i love you Konami:-)
