  • I have declared my love for MGS2, and it has reciprocated that love. Wedding is in February... (no spoilers)

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>However, I get the feeling a <b>lot</b> of people are going to be disappointed with the game as a whole... of course, I can't say <b>why</b> 'cause a very simple part of the game is apparently a huge spoiler to some (don't read the manual!). You'll all come accross it sooner or later.

Nevertheless, it's great. Some codec conversations and cut scenes run a lot longer than they should (although I remember this being the case in MGS1 as well), and the boss fights aren't as good as in MGS1, but it is a worth sequel indeed. Hell, could anything live up to the hype?

Took me 12 hours, which was nice... I did a lot of dilly-dallying though. Time to start again!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Currently playing it over at my friend's dorm. Graphics-wise and control-wise, it's every bit as good as the original. Some of these plot twists, though, are what the layman might term "fucking stupid." But I kind of expect these nonsense plot points from Konami.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Correction on that: Naturally, graphics-wise it is much improved over the original.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Bah. The plot twists rule. The more the better, says I (and there are tons by the time you finish the game).</div>
