Metal Gear 2: Substance Review alsonic
Now, the last review I review the original Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation. But now, it's time for its controversial sequel, Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty. Now, I own the Substance release, so I'll talk a little about the extras.
Graphics: 9/10 Now this game was released on the PlayStation 2, so MY GOD THESE GRAPHICS ARE GOOD. No longer the chunky character models of the N64 and PS1, these are some top notch graphics. Now seriously, I grown used to the models in the original MGS, but these graphics breath new life in the MGS franchise.
Sound: 9/10 Most of the music is by Harry Gregson Williams. Need I say more? But really, I love the music, especially like the main theme for the game. Williams gave MGS a more stealthy environment with his music. Thanks Harry.
Addictiveness: 10/10 Even though I don't like replaying the original Metal Gear Solid, I love going back through this one. It's so fun to go through Big Shell (more on that later) and holding up guards. And shooting them.
Story 8/10 Now this is the most controversial part about this game. It's 2007. It's been 2 years since the Shadow Moses Island incident. Solid Snake and Otacon have joined an anti-Metal Gear group called Philanthropy. Snake goes on a mission to an oil tanker to debunk a new Metal Gear, Metal Gear Ray. On the tanker, he sees Revolver Ocelot, a villain from the previous game that spread the Metal Gear files on the web. Ocelot, now with a new hand, takes Metal Gear Ray and sinks the tanker, presumably killing Solid Snake and everyone on board. Now 2 years later (so it's 2009 now), a new member of Foxhound, Raiden, must infiltrate another oil tanker named Big Shell and must save hostages (including the President) from a terrorist group that takes the name 'The Sons of Liberty'. They demand a ransom for the president or they will destroy Big Shell, causing alot of oil to go into the sea and like end the world. That's pretty deep. Well, everyone hated Raiden, but he grew on me.
Depth: 9/10 There's alot to do in this game. Like I said, you can hold up guards (which is really fun) and you can sneak around big shell and find a bunch of easter eggs! Yay!
Difficulty: 6/10 Now this game is the hardest MGS game I've played. Not saying its really hard, but I died the most in this game out of the original trilogy.
Bonuses: 10/10 Skateboarding. Just. Skateboarding. BEST GAME 10/10
Overall this game gets my rating of 9.7 out of 10. I love the story and controls, but some weird things in this game (vampires? Really?) held this game back from reaching a 10/10. I hoped you liked the review :D
