Got further in this game than the first Metal Gear due to the the more complex AI and crawling adding more enjoyment to playing this game than the first as it's closer to a modern MGS game, but it still didn't hold my attention for too long. Saving also felt a lot fairer, and I'd lose 5 minutes progress at most with is much easier to make up for. The most interesting part to me is seeing Big Boss in a villain role, especially coming to these games after MGS3, but apart from that the story is what you'd expect and everything is kept pretty sparse.

Overall Metal Gear 2 is a better game than the first and I found it more engaging as it's more similar to a modern title, but I don't think it's worth my time following a guide for 5 hours anymore just to say I've completed a game I don't enjoy playing. Probably worth at least trying if you're a fan of the series and want to see where they started, but not much more than that.
