It's one of the better ones but it's still just a Map Game.
One of the best games in the series, even if being forced to replay the first half is a bafflingly dumb decision that greatly diminishes replay value.
A monumental work, and one that, perhaps more than any other game, uses its medium to deliver a profound and emotionally overwhelming conclusion. Quite possibly the zenith of unity between hardware and narrative. A must play.
1989
The first game I ever beat!
2018
An absolute failure of a game on every level. Eight terrible stories in one, each with the same dull, slow combat. The Action 52 of JRPGs.
Very likely the best game on the NES.
2000
Rating is for the GBC version. It's good!
To classify any work of art — let alone a video game — as prophetic requires some degree of willful ignorance. Most "prophetic" works of fiction merely diagnose existing societal cancers that others are too naive to identify. MGS2 is an exception; a vision from the future that is more relevant in 2020 than in 2000. That's to say nothing of the gameplay, which is both restrictive and free: the illusion of choice perfectly encapsulated through ludonarrative progression. This might well be the best game ever made.
2015
Tedious.
One of the ugliest things I've ever seen, and I'm including people. Avoid!
An unplayable disaster.
I got this after my dog died, and after the grief wore off I realized I wasted 30 bucks
1999
Bring it back!!!!!!!!
2008
The least shitty Tales game, however much that's worth!
2007
brilliance.
