<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah, you heard me - fuck this game, man. What a disappointment.
Don't get me wrong, the game did look beautiful and there was some pretty decent gameplay, but essentially it seems that the creators' time and effort were spent mainly on showing the player how much time and effort they spent. They tried to squeeze about 50 hours of story into 12 hours of gametime and it really didn't work out at all. "Ooh, look at all these pretty posters, hey, i can hold up the guards and steal each of their unique dog tags...Oop! Time for another 45 minute cut scene - has it been 30 seconds already?" I mean, jesus christ, I've seen <i>movies</i> involving less sitting and watching than this game.
And can someone tell me whose bright idea it was to make Snake a playable character for less than a third of the game? Why wasn't this man fired immediately upon the mere suggestion of such a blasphemy, let alone executed like a stray animal in the street? And as if the elimination of Snake wasn't bad enough they have you play out the remainder of the game with this pitiful and annoying bastard named after a mortal kombat character. But I think they realized that the introduction of "Raiden" to replace Snake, while enough to drive the average gamer to the <i>brink</i> of madness, was just not quite sufficient to put one into complete hysterics. Hence the addition of Rose, Emma, and the nude scene.
But anyway, Newsradio is on and I really don't feel like attempting to be clever any longer so, in summary: MGS2 sucks. DMC is better. Fuck Raiden. Fuck swimming and fuck stupid whores who can't hold their breath. Fuck the fucking Codec. Snake rules.</div>
