Origionally played Metal Gear Solid last year for the first time. I don't mind playing 32 bit games so long as I know they're decent- Die Hard Trilogy, Resident Evil series, etc. Although I played MGS some 8 years after it's release, I can appreciate it for what it was at the time, excluding everything else release to date, and thinking it terms of video game quality circa. 1999. Were it not for MGS, the narrative in video games, and story telling, plots etc, would still be really minimal.Metal Gear Solid 2 takes place a few years after the events of the first game. Terrorists have been buying Metal Gears from the blakc market based on the design for the previous Metal Gear (Metal Gear Rex). Snake working together with Dr Emmerich in an anti-Metal Gear organisation, infiltrates the deck of a military ship carrying the new Metal Gear (Metal Gear Ray), in an attempt to photograph the thing and expose the military. The ship is hi-jacked by Russian terrorists though, and Revolver Ocelot, who becomes possesed by the mind of 'Liquid Snake,' through Liquid's translanted arm, and escapes with Metal Gear Ray. 2 years later, an agent supposedly known as 'Snake' infiltrates a Shell Core Rig thing that is supposedly hiding the new Metal Gear Arsenal... I think that was the plot anyway
Good game, I enjoyed it. I understood the philosophy of the plot, but at times it seemed convoluted and a little pretensious in comparison to the origional MGS. Also, the player only has control of Snake for a limited time before your introduced to the new hero, Raiden. You get to play with a wakizashi samurai sword also towards the end which is kinda cool.
My rating 8.9/10
