Review of Metal Gear Solid 2 - Fear Thunderthighs.

Metal Gear Solid 2- Sons of Liberty - Metal Gear Raiden.

    Ok... I cant call this a bad game because it isn't. In fact it's a damn GREAT game. I recall dropping my jaw to the floor when I saw that opening scene on the bridge. I'm sure evryone agrees that this game is graphically phenominal. Also The Gameplay is great and is all in a great game. Now that I'm done kissing Hideo's butt cheeks, because I know if you wanted the good things about this game you'd be ar IGN.com, lets get to the problems....

     MGS2 has some SERIOUS issues. First of you have yout Dave and Hal syndrome. I personally have nothing against 'alternative' lifestyles, but cmon... Solid Snake is the equivalent of Bruce Cambell (Ash from Army of Darkness) of videogame land. I was just waiting for Hal (Otacon) to say "I love you Snake" they shouldn't have killed off Meryl... I think it turned Snake from women....

     Second Raiden, Mr. Thunderthighs you play as instead of
Snake for MOST of the game. Pro's: Got a sword.... um that
you get at the end. Cons: Whiny (At first), slips on bird poop
(this can also be a pro), big ass thighs, has a really um...
different flip, and his name is Jack (his girlfriend is named
Rose). KING OF THE WORLD MA! ahem. Anyway I spent
a good 60% (Maybe 80%) of the game watching movies. 30%
was stock footage from MGS1. Also much of the talking was
in the Radio screen (more than MGS1 at least) and not in a
cinema... how they got away with this? Simple, Codecs wooooooo.

I found out about this little fun fact because my friend Jess wanted me to beat the game for her. I agreed because I LIKE killing guards and birds. Moreso birds. Most of the time was spent watching talk sequences. You also have to keep in mind I didn't get right to the point and was wandering around playing with guards and killing seagulls with stinger missles for 1 hour. Watching Raiden die on purpose, usually by falling to his death for a total of an hour.(Therapudic!) Not to mention the 15 minutes spattered here and their we laughed as Thunderthighs fell up stairs. It took me 7 hours. So if you think about it 80% movies isn't that much of a stretch.

The cardboard box doesn't work anymore... Guards are too smart. The extra's are nigh non existant. Although the first time through it's a master piece. Lets hope Titanic boy shapes up if he's out to replace snake.

The ending? Don't get me started. That you'd have to see to believe......

P.S. I tried very hard to get a picture of Raiden to show you his massive thighs... but there seems to be a consipiracy of not putting up pictures of anyone but Snake... and you only play as him so little.... Odd.
