Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
released on Nov 13, 2001
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the sequel to the espionage action game Metal Gear Solid. Much of the gameplay remains the same, as the game's protagonist has to sneak past guards, outsmart them using various gadgets and defeat the tricky boss enemies. The game expanded its predecessor's cover mechanic, with Solid Snake or Raiden able to take cover behind walls or objects and pop out to shoot at enemies, while the improved enemy AI allowed enemies to also take cover from the player. Metal Gear Solid 2 is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time, as well as a leading example of artistic expression in video games.

A triump in gameplay mechanics ruined by the typical ADHD-fueled Kojima storyline.
i love booting this game up when i need a great game to play that only takes 2hours, i feel like i learn something new with every playthrough
This game is a lot but I'll give my thoughts concisely. I really enjoyed the story and the extremely impactful ending. I am still processing a lot of it but for what i know it was basically flawless. I didnt enjoy the level design or the gameplay THAT much. There were very few instances where i felt like i was having fun, unfortunately. I also feel like there was more story and dialogue than actual gameplay. It was certainly a huge step up from the first game, but, again, i did not often have a lot of fun playing it. The best parts being the bosses and the odd stealth section.
Beaten fat man- this game is my introduction to the franchise so far I’m really liking it the espionage tactics the gameplay is pretty fun but frustrating as well the story seems interesting very excited to see where it will go next. Not to mention the graphics hold up very well are ahead of its time for a game made in 2001
That ending really was a gut punch, still holds up over 20 years later.
Aside from some genuinely frustrating sections, this game is perfect. A worthy follow-up to the first Metal Gear. It took me a while to enjoy playing as Raiden but I quickly grew to love him as a character.
