excellent sequel, pretty much everything from the predecessor has been expanded and improved in every way, the presentation is amazing, the gameplay which allows even more options and approaches such as being able to hang from raillings or hide enemy guards's bodies on a locker, tranquilizer weapons and of course the first-person aiming, it's such an better stealth game than the first game. the story is also somehow even better than the predecessor, playing them back to back was extremely rewarding, the Arsenal Gear section along with the ending might be one of my favorites that I had encountered in an game, it's creepy and unique, the fact that the themes are so relevant today makes it scary.

maybe the only things that I find it better on MGS1 were the antagonists, some of the pacing and the setting, something about Big Shell doens't hit as hard as Shadow Moses did but what we have here is also great.

overall an brilliant game, it's everything an sequel should strive to be, play it.
