I mean it’s fantastic but I still prefer mgs1 and for a couple of reasons which I’ll get into later. But I have to mention how revolutionary it is for ps2 and I think it improves the controls aspect of mgs1 a ton: with new improved gun controls and better accuracy makes it a much smoother experience.

One thing I noticed tho was that mgs1 is paced fantastically once you get going you’re going for the whole game but with this you do the snake part and then the game kinda kills all its momentum and resets itself for the raiden parts but to give it credit it does then pick up really well.

Surprisingly easy too and in very weird ways like some of the boss fights were just a breeze and then there’s some parts that are incredibly difficult like just crossing bridges with cyphers that never stop coming and it’s more frustrating then fulfilling.

The stuff they do with stealth tho is pretty fantastic, I mean it’s add a creative element to the game that gives you more freedom to do what you like and when faced with a difficult objective it does reward you for thinking outside the box.

I don’t know now that I’m listing the good elements of this I’m kinda tied up on what is better but I still think my experience with mgs1 was better just because it delivered it’s message in a more conscise way.

I mean it’s not usually a game for me but I really liked this, once I stuck with it and kept it going for a while I really got into this and really liked the variation you have. Because I feel the worst thing you can do with these type of games is just limit your options but I felt overwhelmed in a good way by how much I could do.

One of the big things with this is story felt very blank and dull, and the biggest thing is every character felt exactly the same I mean not everyone is kind hearted right but it just feels like every character is just the same basic personality just doing a different occupation and giving you a different task. And there’s just not that much dialogue to really branch out with who you want your character to be.

But the atmosphere is fantastic, I mean you’re just looking at a screen but still I feeling like I’m involved in every aspect of this spaceship and what it has, and the tasks are good for a space ship it really feels like you’re doing something futuristic, and the look is down perfectly.

Overall a great intro into these type of games and I hope to play more of them soon need to look into ones that are similar to this, did it in about 70+ cycles could go back to it and probably will eventually.
