Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: One of the most anticipated titles in gaming history absolutely lives up to the hype. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the follow-up to one of the most captivating and intelligent adventures on the PSone; Solid Snake, everyone's favourite mullet-sporting super-soldier, is back along with many other familiar faces and voices. While Metal Gear Solid was lauded for telling a complex story, this sequel has even more fascinating twists and turns; also, like its predecessor, MGS2 takes console-game storytelling to an entirely new level with stunning in-game movies, great graphics, and game mechanics that let you find your own solutions to its challenges. The game's twisting and at times bizarre plot will undoubtedly keep some gamers perplexed.
Konami has replaced the moronic enemies from the first MGS with more cerebral and capable foes; this causes an even greater emphasis on stealth than the original. The controls have been refined and Snake's repertoire of moves has grown, both of which deepen the gameplay. This is, technically and stylistically, one of the best-looking PS2 games on the market. Sound is also top notch, with a fabulous score and outstanding voice acting. What really makes this game such a stand-out is how all of these sight, sound, and story elements combine to immerse the player into an entertainment form between movie and game. It will be years before Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is surpassed. This is interactive entertainment at its finest. --Raymond M Padilla

I am very much into the stealth games, and it has to be said, MGS and Splinter Cell are at the forefront of the genre. Having owned the first Splinter Cell I felt like checking out the competition and I have to say I was very impressed. They are both very similar yet manage to set themselves apart from eachother.
Firstly, Splinter Cell's use of shadows and silence drew me in but with MGS there perhaps isn't as much pressure resting on this.
MGS has to be one of the most visually stunning games for the PS2. The realsim is immense e.g. When you come inside from the raining outdoors you leave footprints which guards are actually suspicious of. I feel that the storyline somewhate ruins the game, it is very unrealistic towards the end ... Read More:

My title could be the slogan for this game, compared to the first this is very dissapointing.
Their are so many things to take in, too many cut scenes to watch, not enough action or espionage, which is what the game is about.
If you want confusing storylines go and watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless whatever it's called, the one with Jim Carrey in it, but if you want action buy the first MGS OR even Snake Eater which is a very good improvement.
I could not even tell you a thing about the story, I gave up towards the end to be honest, kept on skipping the scenes were people start turning into aliens of some saught and then you get some Philiosophical lecture from Snake about free will! Oh dear, Oh Dear. ... Read More:

I bought this game, after playin the entire splinter cell series, wondering what the competition was like, only to find the most confusing, boring, annoying, disapointing game ive ever played. Even more disapointing than Medal of Honour: Rising Sun.
It is NOT a stealth game. As long as a stay out the field of vision of enemies (about 1 metre infront of them) then u can practically run through the whole game, without any fear of being caught. and the whole hiding in a box thing is just plain ridiculous, i actually burst out laughing at how goofy it was.
If your looking for a challenging stealth game where you actually have intelligent enemies, then go for splinter cell. They beat this game by a million miles.

Metal Gear Solid 2, is a sweet game in my opinion, the gameplay is good and the storyline is EXCELLENT. It's like a movie with it's cool and intense cutscenes(some may citicise this, but I personally love it).
The game is fairly old now, 2001 and it's only around now, with Xbox 360/PS3/Wii on the market, is it really beginning to show its age.
This is my first MGS game and it was addictive as f***, all the MGS games have been addictive. I finished it well over 7 times ^_^
Story:(9/10)
The storyline in MGS2 is EXCELLENT, very intense, descriptive, suprising plot turns and this and that, it shouldn't really be called MGS2 story, the "Metal Gear" story if you like, but MGS2 contributes an important part. ... Read More:

I recently bought this game after having gone straight from MGS on the PSX to MGS3, as i was demoralised when i found out that Snake is only playable for the prologue part of the game. However, when i finally managed to acquire this game, after nearly 5 years of putting it off, i realised what i'd been missing out on!
The gameplay consists primarily of stealth tactics. That's not to say you can't run around like a lunatic shooting anything that moves, it just means that unlike most games, your enemies won't just stand around and shoot in your general direction if you happen to walk by them, they will shoot from cover and call for backup, and when backup arrives, you'll soon realise that one man with a pistol or an AK, is no match for ...
