Is Metal Gear Solid 2 out? Who's bought/going to buy it? I've got the demo and I think it's good but it's hard! I just want to know if it's out.

Came out today (friday) i got my mitts on a copy and am really impressed, I've just got to fatman but he's really hard to beat.

 

It's not exactly hard if you've played the psx version you'll have no trouble getting used to the controls. You just need to get used to not killing everything stealth is very important.

Best Movie in the world...wait it's a game!

 

such a great game....there are at times where you feel that you aren't playing much of the game (thanks to the long cuts scenes), but you don't give a damn because the plot is so compeling (and confusing) and there is more replay value then the first thanks to the dog tags and little tiny bits (like making pliskin angry).

 

all in all...your playstation 2 collection sucks unless you have MGS2

 

(i would have done a more then a half-assed review, but i'm in school)

IT does have plenty of replay value, but i did complete once the day after i bought it, also a shame you don't get to fight arsenal, but it's nicely set up for a 3rd installment. All in all Metal Gear Solid 2 is a interactive movie that you MUST have in your collection.

 

My favorite bit is near the end when your running round butt naked and the cornal is going mad, quoting lines from the psx game and telling you about pruning bushes, the guy even tells you to turn off the games console.

I've got it now but haven't played it yet. I heard Snake dies. That just ruins the whole story. The guy survives an unbelieveable adventure in the 1st one and it MGS2 he just dies. Pathetic.

Play the game first, before making silly comments like that. If your having any problems just leave a message here, i've now completed it twice, but european extreme level is to dam hard.

Play it before making silly comments eh? So are you saying that he doesn't die?

 

Anyway i've played it and it's hard!

All i'm saying is that it's got a very good plot, and that you should not trust anyone.

[completed it on normal and very easy]

bah...i completed with loads of dog tags on very easy and no stealth suit...looks like i have to get more dog tags oh and by the way...you can't get dog tags in european extreme mode

 

there are so many kickass little touches...plot is very wierd but i cool...the game just freakin rules.

It's cool how you can shoot a russian with the tranquilizer so no other guard hears and then drag him away into a room where no guard is and blast him. I'm finding it well difficult though!

difficult lol

 

the only thing difficult about that game is understanding the storyline. My 10 year old brother completed half of it in about 4 hours then i finished it off in about 3.

 

gotta love the fission mailed bit (yes i spelt it right) and the colonel going mental quoting other games.

 

plus did anyone notice how much the black bomb expert guy looks like jesse ventura

 

my advice is dont buy it. rent it you'll have it done in 3 days easy

But it does have plenty of re-play value

A mate of mine took it back to the shop after 5 days, he completed it so many times over apparently. It's not good is it, if it's that short.

 

I would of expected it to last quite a lot longer, maybe if they had more then 1 disc.......

...i've had it for a week and 2 days now... and i'm still playing it - you wanna know why- because i need to get the damn stealth suit- blast Konami for making me get those dog tags.... it's not an addiction any more...it's an obsession.... [cue me rocking back and forth on a rocking chair]

I take that back, i''m finding it easy. I'm now in "Shell Core 1" dressed as the enemy with an AK trying to rescue the president. BRM, I know what you meant....Snake doesn't die. He's Pliskin, I take that insulting comment back. :) Latino, the game is long. Your mate must have played it for ages. It takes you 6 hours at LEAST to complete it. He must have played it for like 6 hours every day.

This is one of the best games this year, and in no way is it too short.

 

Even if you are the best player in the world. it still takes just over five hours to complete. Which is a bit longer than most action games.... Like Devil May Cry, now that is too short.

An amazing game but the story doesn't hook you like the original. Though it does play better. I'm glad Liquid's back, he is the greatest.

It's only his arm, but i think he's meant to be british so he gets my vote

I've been investigating and it's my pleasure to inform you all the Konami have got plans for Metal Gear Solid 3. They're planning on calling it Metal Gear Solid 3: The Patriots. Can't wait....even though I still got to complete MGS2, i'm on the Metal Gears and they're bloody hard!

no way...revolver ocelet rules best accent, kickass gun skills ...though i gotta admit liqid has a cool voice

I'd go for Ocelot. ;) He IS the man. Vamp's cool as well. :)
