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.
