	GameCritics.com Forums - MGS2-underated
		MGS2 easily has more gameplay than the origonal and you still whine likr you weren't expecting a full blown story driven expierience.
		For anyone with a hardon for gunplay MGS2 was an excercise in sexual repression..sure i could have just thrown myself to the wolves once in a while (which i did), but i hate having to take a break from the standard gameplay just so i can enjoy the game.
		As said by Rusted_Halo, there is of course Mgs2 Substance for those (wrong) people who said that there were too many cut-scenes (and while I'm on that, how come no-one complains about FFX having as much cutscenes as gameplay?).

	Planet GameCube News Article: MGS2 = FINAL Metal Gear? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		MGS2 is expected to hit Playstation 2 and X-Box and rumors that a version of Metal Gear will appear for GamCube have been flying around a long time.
		I just have to say that MGS2 is gonna be Solid Snake’s swansong, it’d be a right crime if Snake didn’t “return to his roots” so to speak by appearing on a Nintendo system.
		If MGS2 is it for the series, then let’s hope Snake stops by NGC territory before riding off into the sunset.

	Apparently MGS2 owns SC - Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums
		MGS2 I only played for a while but I found it kind of boring...
		MGS2 had very little gameplay, but it was delicious when you skipped all the cutscene.
		MGS2 won the best sound design for any game in 2001 from the award where all the developers vote.

	Observer Newspaper - Scene
		MGS2 does, however, change genre slightly in this new installment by adding a touch of the supernatural.
		MGS2 lacks verbal gaffs like "the truck have started to move" all too familiar in previous games.
		MGS2 is undoubtedly on the fast-track to becoming a videogame classic and obviously redefines the standards in action/adventure gameplay and cinematic effects.

	Gaming Illustrated - The Definitive Source for Gaming Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		MGS2 has a lot in common with comics, particularly comic graphic novels that attempt to expand the comic media's ability and acceptance in expressing the mature content, deep themes, and often unique artwork characteristic of great, edgy expression (for those not familiar with comics, substitute "art movies" or "underground music" for comics).
		K, enough of the dissertation (though MGS2 is one step closer to the day when video games/interactive media will be topics for dissertations for more adventurous PhD candidates).
		Except for the story's loss of focus, MGS2 lives up to its expectation as one of the reasons many bought the PS2 console in the first place.

		MGS2 is one of the most successful playstation 2 games to date, and now its back and it's had a face lift.
		MGS2: Substance is a collection of new missions, alternate scenarios and a wealth of extras.
		I think everyone who has played MGS2 would have been a bit disappointed that you didn't get to control snake for very long, this is way Snake Tales comes in.

	MGS2: Substance-X = $million sold + system seller? - Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums
		You have those that will consider MGS2: Substance to be a mere rehash of MGS2 (or MGS 2.1).
		I wouldn't call MGS2: Substance a system seller not because the original MGS2 was a disappointment, but simply because, for those who wanted to play MGS2, they already have.
		MGS2 S will be good but nothing compared to splinter cell...

	! MGS2 on XBOX ! What is it? Here is what I think... - Message Board - ezboard.com
		MGS2 or MGSX as it may be called for the XBOX.
		If you put in the features of MGS2 such as first person view, peeking around corners and hanging mode, then you got the first game (which was a great game as well) with the great control of the second game.
		They were there for the development of MGS2, and they can reasonably fill in the holes (Snake's part) and get their feet wet, the story is there, the gameplay is there and the basic graphics are there.

	The Patriots and Sons of Liberty in MGS2.... - =SSMB=
		What is interesting about how they tie up to the MGS2 plotline is their number of members; there were around 14 members (not including one who is active from abroad), not far from the 12 which we saw as the Patriots in MGS2.
		MGS2 fans (or at least those who have at least played the game) noticed a striking resemblance to the flag that is shown in the game.
		About their violent agendas, the MGS2 Sons of Liberty (or rather, Solidus Snake) preferred rebellion to achieve his aim of 'liberating' the Americans.

	MGS2: Substance - The Next Level Forum
		I was unimpressed with MGS2 for PS2 visually, looked like the first one running in enhanced mode (At least the demo did).
		And yes, MGS2 was immensily flawed(especially in the second half).
		From all the scenes he showed from MGS2 before it was released, it was Snake all the way.

	Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (ps2: 2001): Reviews
		MGS2 delivers everything it was teased, touted, hyped, and, in some circles, feared to be.
		MGS2 includes all kinds of incentive to play the game again and again, including the new collectable "Dog Tag" feature, but to be honest the real replay value lies with the beauty of the game.
		The story and scope of MGS2 is much larger than the original and Kojima should be commended for creating a game that makes you feel like you are in the game.

		MGS2 didn't use the right analog stick for normal gameplay, but MGS3 used it to pan the camera around.

	Halflife2.net - How would HL2 compare with MGS2?
		Even MGS2 has superior AI to HL2 and other games, and MGS3 is mindblowing because it's even more dynamic.
		In MGS2 it was impressive but in MGS3 you see squads of soldiers come in as reinforcements.
		You will never see a group of soldiers walking to you or firing at you, the only time they're in the open is when the fight first begins, they shoot at you some and then run for cover.

		MGS2 had an awesome story, but it turned into a jumbled mess near the end.

		MGS2 was probably the most hyped game in videogame history (I'd say more than Halo), and I don't think any other game will surpass it for a loooooong time.

	The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 Reviews: Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
		First and foremost, it’s important to point out that the version of MGS2 included in Substance is the same as the one that many of you have probably played and suffers from the same few flaws that reviewers have pointed out before.
		If you totally enjoyed MGS2, this definitive version is certainly worth a look, delivering all of the extras and the original game in one package.
		Meanwhile, for those who didn’t like MGS2 for all of the storyline and cutscene stoppages(and maybe because of Raiden’s appearance), it’s important to know that the meat of Substance is still the original MGS2, which has not really been changed.

	MGS2 Production Background Notes
		Something worth a mention is that the U.S.S. Discovery is not only the name of the Tanker in MGS2, but it was also the name of the submarine that brought Snake to Shadow Moses at the beginning of MGS1.
		In the early development stages of the script, Kojima had intended for Snake to be referred to as "Dave", and not as "Snake".
		The design of Raiden's aqua-mask was inspired by ancient mystical ninjutsu, where the ninja bites a scroll in the mouth during magic transformations.

		MGS2 takes time to evolve its intricate story through cinematics and dialogue over CODEC, a Metal Gear classic feature, which is essentially an internal radio.
		The main "Sons of Liberty" game of MGS2 is presented in two separate acts.

		There have been reports on various game sites including XBoxWeb.Com that MGS2 is going onto the XBox with a working title of "Metal Gear Solid X".
		This is bad for all PS2 owners (which includes myself) We have already lost games such as the Resident Evil series and the rest of the Oddworld series to the X Box and now Konami is releasing many successful PS2 titles on the XBox including Silent Hill 2 and MGS.

	Curmudgeon Gamer - Snake!? SNAAAAKE! aka MGS2 vs. MGS
		So, when great gobs of MGS2 are spent watching Raiden and his girlfriend whine their way through relationship angst, the wheels quickly come off.
		MGS was fun and filled with memorable characters and lines; MGS2 was fun, but filled with throwaway yammering and flat personalities.
		I believe the non-boss parts of MGS2 were improvements on MGS (as you'd hope, especially with the new PS2 hardware), and I believe Matt might be forgetting some of his enjoyment having played the tanker level too many times on the MGS demo disk (iirc).

	Anyone bought doc of MGS2? - Beyond3D Forum
		It was the most impressive to view the intro of the bridge with the cars and just pause it to view the cool effects of from the car's lights in the rain.
		By the way, i think MGS2 will never be ported to the cube cause the controller would not fit MGS2 implementation of the pressure sensitive buttons.
		I also find MGS2 graphics to be extremely impressive in both art direction and technical accomplishment - the rain effect and the underwater scenes are still jaw dropping evey time I see them.

	Beat MGS2 - BeyondUnreal Forums
		I did really enjoy the game and it is an incredible experience to be sure (I liked it enough that I'm planning to play through it again), but I wasn't captivated by it like I was by MGS1.
		In the original, there were a lot more boss battles (and they could actually be won, unlike two of the only six or so battles in MGS2), the movie-like presentation and abundance of quality voice acting was unprecedented when it was released, and it just had way more cool moments.
		Again, MGS2 is a truly great game and it's unfair to expect tons of classic sequences and a great storyline when the core gameplay and graphics are essentially perfect, but I think it's not nearly as incredible as it could have been and that MGS1 was a better game.

		So I wanted to ask if getting MGS2 is worth it or not.Is the gameplay AND story great,because both of them matter a lot.
		Raiden gave MGS2 and different feel, and unlike what many people have said, it's not a bad feeling.
		MGS2 is a great game its not as good as MGS3 but thats just my opinion.Its a 2001 game and its one of the best looking PS2 games(they move at 60 fps).

	Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for PS2 video game review and cheats
		Like the first Metal Gear Solid, MGS2 is appropriately termed ‘Tactical Espionage Action.’ MGS2 focuses first and foremost on stealth, requiring you to infiltrate locations with a sense of caution and strategy.
		Later in MGS2, you’ll face off against Fortune, a strange woman carrying a massive lightning gun, with the apparent psychic ability to warp space, causing all bullets aimed at her to curve around her body.
		Added to this is the fact that even on normal difficulty, MGS2 is slightly more difficult than the original, requiring a lot of careful planning and, in some cases, many saves and continues.

	generation5 - Metal Gear Solid 2 (PlayStation 2)
		The dynamic lighting and reflections make the environments in MGS2 look ultra-realistic especially when combined with the subtle and artistic lighting placement that occurs during many parts of the game.
		Actually, MGS2 is a lot more gruesome than its predecessor mainly due to the inclusion of Vamp (pictured right), one of the new bosses.
		Shoot them in the leg and they'll have trouble walking, shoot them in the arm enough and they might drop their weapon, but shoot them in the heart or the head and they'll drop like a fly (quickly and silently!).

		European gamers frustrated at having to wait three months past the US ship date of MGS2 are to be rewarded with no less than three exclusive new game modes.
		Which is a fair enough trade off really; think of it as a mode per month...First up, for those of you that like a challenge, MGS2 is to include a 'European Extreme' difficulty level.
