Rating: none - Good but not satisfied
Alright let me first say that the cutscenes and the plot are great in this game. Don't listen to all those drama queens yapping that the cutscenes and the plot stinks.
Ok the game is broken down into 2 chapters so i'm going to rate each chapter.got it?..ok
The first chapter is the "Tanker Chapter" which you control Solid Snake, this is the best chapter, so let me put it into a scale from 1-10 10 being the best score.
Graphics-10(Great introduction,great visuals,effects,plot)Gameplay-10(Solid Snake can hang from railings,punch,kick,snap necks,shoot tranquilizer darts..etc)
fun level-10(when your done with this chapter your gonna go back and play it again and again)
Sound-10(awesome sounds and music)
overall-9(i gave it a 9 because it's sooooo short in 30 minutes you'll be finished with this level,ok maybe 45 min.
Now to the horrid "Plant Chapter"
It's 2 years later your a rookie named Raiden and you have to infiltrate a big nuclear plant(oohhh the suspense..yeah right)
Graphics-5(cutscenes look good still but there is no backround change, the exterior of the plant is orange and i got so damned tired of that color it got annoying.
Gameplay-10(Raiden has the same moves as solid snake but Raiden moves more swift)
fun level-10(boss fights against vamp,fortune,fat man,diffusing bombs..etc)
Sound-10(still great sound and music)
Overall-7(bad backround effects bring the score 2 points downdown,you don't control solid snake 1 point off everything else is good) Overall for both chapters-8 so 4 stars
Rating:  - If you beat this game in 12 hours or less...
If you beat this game in 12 hours or less... you missed the entire point of the game. Have you noticed that many of the people complaining about this game claimed to have beaten it in 8 hours or less? that would mean they spent nearly 65% of the game watching cutscenes. Gamers today are unsporting. It seems a lot of people played on normal difficulty with radar; staying safely out of the enemies field of vision while capping them in the head with their silenced pistol in first person view. By doing this anyone can plow through the gameplay portions of this game in several hours. try playing the game on hard or extreme difficulty without using radar. it took me 18 hours to beat this game on extreme difficulty. More than enough gameplay. MGS2 has the best boss encounters of any ps2 game. The shootout with Olga, searching for Fatman's bombs, taking out the Harrier 2, shooting Vamp's knives out of the air, taking out a dozen Metal Gears is all incredible. The final boss encounter with Solidus is probably the best final boss fight ever. The soundtrack is incredible. The music that plays during Alert/Evasion mode is incredible and actually adds to the gameplay. The gameplay is almost perfect. There is one downfall. When you drag an enemy through a pool of blood they dont create a trail. When you shoot an enemy in the head there should always be a pool of blood so when you try to hide the body you will leave a trail for enemy soldiers to find their dead comrade. This would prevent gamers from staying safely out of the enemies field of vision and shooting them in the head. Lasting Appeal
Single player games don't usually have as much replay value as MGS2. There are several large secrets and a ton of easter eggs.
Rating: - It's all in the Stealth
Solid Snake is back but this time he is working with Otacon as a team. He is on a mission to stop the latest and most powerful Metal Gear, Metal gear ray. Another awesome creature this time amphibious. It has new moves, like hiding behind walls and peeking past, hanging, and old moves like knocking. Use your wits to outsmart your enemies. The harder the level the smarter your enemies. Enemies may raise an alarm if they see a dead mate which don't disappear like in the last game. Hide the enemies by dragging them into a locker. Take pentamazines to keep your hand steady while sniping. Shoot well cause a bad aimed shot may hit a wall making sounds causing an alarm. Awesome gameplay and graphics. There are 2 chapters, first the tanker chapter where you use snake and the second chapter where you use Raiden a new player with all of snake's skills. Old characters like revolver Ocelot and Solidus are back for more. The 2nd chapter is alot like the 1st game maybe even too much but that doesn't stop me from giving it a 5/5. This is another game worth saving for. Get ready for some action...
