    Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

    Game » consists of 12 releases. Released Nov 13, 2001

    The follow-up to the 1998 blockbuster, Metal Gear Solid 2 blends tactical stealth and action. This sequel takes the action to an offshore oil cleanup facility seized by terrorists who are holding the President hostage. It helped sell the PS2, featuring advanced AI, physics and cover mechanics for its time, and one of the first postmodern narratives in gaming.

    Second best gajme ever made!! - EPIC

    Ok here's the thing you either love this game or not and I would think most people love it. The game has two games in one, one you play as solid snake on a tanker mission and raiden on the plant mission. The story line is excellent and told with the use of lenthy cut scenes which work really well and look amazing. The graphics are fantastic from the detail of the guns you aim to the cloths that you where and the detail of the tanker and the big shell. When you are high up on the plant chapter (strut E heliport is a good place) I would highly advice that you just look through your scope to see the detail of everything. The sound is excellent which each weapon making a different and unique noice, there is different themed music for sneaking around different areas and getting caught. Voice acting is great (and it should be for all the talking in this game).

    The gameplay for MGS2 is amazing you do a veriety of things such as bomb disposel, using disguises, swim, hang of ledges and much more.

    The game itself will last for a long time if you take in the story, but even then you will want to play it again and again to seek out things you may have missed, collect all weapons and items and play on different difficultly settings. The main reason to keep at the game however is dog tags. There is lots to collect, basically they are name tags on the soliders which you can collect and they are different on all of the difficulties.

    All in all i got this game when it first came out and still play on it to this game, in my thought I think it will remain one of the greatest games of all time.

      MGS2 is one of the first PS2 games, and one of the best. 0

      MGS2 literally takes the Stealth genre and makes it its own. Back in 02 this game was the best of its genre, now it has been bested by some other games, and even its sequel. But this game still holds up even by todays standards.The Gameplay is astounding, fluid, and put at a pace so you can calculate what to do and where to go. The gameplay switches sometimes throughout the game, for example there is a section where you are escorting someone throught a flooded part of an area, but the gameplay u...

      A complex but enjoyable stealth adventure. 0

      A good rule of storytelling is to keep things simple. This way, the story can explore a few concepts in great depth without confusing the audience or weakening the plot. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty flagrantly breaks this rule, telling one of the most complex stories in any video game. Despite this, the game still succeeds. True, the plot isn't completely tight, but it somehow manages to tell a cohesive story with very well thought out points without collapsing in on itself. On top of tha...
