Best MGS2 Version Of Them All!

Strengths: Superior To PS2 Version, Cinematic Gameplay, "Snake!!!!"

Weakness: Not XBOX 360 Backwards Compatible (Yet), Probably Already Played It On PS2

The legend of Metal Gear Solid 2 will forever be left in our minds. The game debuted on the PS2 with much fanfare and hype by showing its cinematic game play and ground breaking graphics. When the XBOX came out with its much more advanced graphics and sound capabilities, it was a gamer's wish to see something like this to be on such a platform... Well here it is - the XBOX version of MGS2. This...

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for Xbox

Strengths: If it stays close to the original, and the new missions are as good as the old ones, this game will make the X-Box an even more desirable system.

Weakness: Can't be sure, its not out yet.

This certainly could be the title to own, for X-Box. Now, it has extremely high standards to live up to, after its predecesor, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, was a smash hit for the Playstion 2. This game has the power, and certainly the history, to push this to be the best X-Box title released ever. This game, if produced corectly, could knock Halo out of its "King 'O' X-Box" ruling title....

Solid Snake finally comes to the XBOX

Strengths: Metal Gear Solid - 'nuff said; more of the greatest stealth action you'll ever come across

Weakness: Controls are a little tricky

The Metal Gear Solid franchise makes its debut on the XBOX with MGS 2: Substance. This game doesn't bring anything particularly new but is more of the same solid action that we've come to expect from Solid Snake. The graphics look even better on the XBOX even though there are a few frame rate issues at key points in the game. Aside from that and some complicated controls that take some getting...

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for Xbox

Strengths: Promising opening graphics

Weakness: Completely unplayable!

This game purchase was a horrible mistake. Konami games should be banned in the US by just how bad this game is. The controls are so ill conceived, I am aghast at how anyone could play it at all. It's like everyone is in on the joke except you! The camera views are completely uncontrollable, the weapons are a joke. It is truly the most horribe game in existence. Stay clear at any price. Smear...

MSG2: Substance

Strengths: Gameplay, graphics, VR missions,

Weakness: overly convoluted story, you don\\\'t play as Snake that often

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is basically the same game as the PS2 version but includes new bonuses; such as VR missions, skateboarding and improved graphics and load-times. The gameplay remains unchanged and sadly so has the story. If you have played the original MGS on PS1, you will feel right at home with MGS2. There some new moves such as holding onto ledges and first-person shooting. The...

METAL GEAR SOLID

Strengths: lots of extras added to this game than the Play Station 2 version like 500 virtual reality training missions; life like enemy AI and behavior helps make the missions more challenging

Weakness: you play as Raiden during most of the game instead of Solid Snake

Game play mostly comprises of stealth missions and sneaking around; you will switch from a third person to a first person mode in order to shoot more accurately; there's a great cinematic feel and presentation to the story, which is well written; also excellent background music and voice acting. This game is not as fast and action packed as I would like, because it kind of slows down during the...

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for Xbox

Strengths: Great animation, fun game play, cool characters

Weakness: some cut scenes are pretty lengthy

If you're familiar with the Metal Gear Solid series, you'll be able to jump right into this. A few new moves have been added, but it's still similar gameplay to previous versions. It's story is much like the other versions also, in that it is good, has lots of twists and some good ol' fashioned conspiracy. If you don't care much for cut scenes and become bored easily of a game that has them, this...

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance

The adventures of Solid Snake have been told over several different consoles, but it found its home with the Playstation with the release of Metal Gear Solid--arguable one of the best games that console ever produced and a fan favorite. Its sequel, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, was one of the PS2’s finest titles of the year that rumors started to fly that the Xbox will get an expanded...
