Prescience of the world aside, I just can't love MGS2 with as much of my heart as MGS1 or 3. It's the little things, but they add up, and lines about flapjacks and tuning forks just don't hit the same if you see them coming.

The thing is, I still can't deny MGS2 a spot in the five-star club. Over time my highest rating has become less and less of an indication of what games I consider "perfect" and more of a showcase of recommendations, and I know that whether I'm as into it as the others or not, MGS2 deserves their status, and so here it is.
