"Metal Gear Solid 2 : Substance *yawns*"

Got this with my Xbox when I bought it, for some reason I haven't touched it until today.

All I can say is muhhhhhhhhhh.

Maybe I should have played through it before I started on Splinter Cell, that way it wouldn't look so pathetic. I tried to like it but it's just so damn sucky.

So, anyone want to swap it with me?

I've always been a fan of the MGS series since the Psone, And I loved MGS2.
I did not find any bugs, slowdown or anything that would ruin the game. Maybe its because I was not looking for them.

People just dont seem to fully appreciate the complex and thrilling storyline, the game is a masterpiece!

Although the storyline is a cliche of plot twists that come together at the end as a mystery solved, I admire how the cinematics and interactive gameplay work together to tell the story.

I was impressed with that sequence near the ending where you are transported to the gameover sequence, yet you are still alive, showing how the computer world is slowly crumbling around you, and you fight off the enemies in the little box in the corner.

This game is worth buying for the storyline and cinematics, heh.. the gameplay is an extra!

And I have a cinema that's about 1 year old just down the road.

Exxxcccelent.

A sad state of affairs indeed.

Indeed it is. The guy who runs it thinks he is a child minder (or something much worse) and it runs in Pro Logic. Only got one cinema there as well and its full of popcorn as everyone just sits there throwing things at it. Very sad state of affairs :)

Heh.

And your cinema doesn't run in Dolby Digital?!?!
IS IT FROM THE STONE AGE?

I didn't buy it for games originally. I bought it for DVD's and seeing as the nearest Cinema to me doesn't even run in Dolby Digital I thought I would go for Home Cinema instead :)

No one product justifys the purchase of such an expensive item. But seeing as I have it I want to talk about it because its bloody fantastic.

I've seen it running. I don't want to play it.
But any extras are welcome, however rubbish they might be. I'd take a crappy skateboarding section over an extra audio experience that wouldn't justify the price (IMO IMO IMO) the actual sound system costs.

Have you ever played Evolution Skateboarding from Konami? I strongly advise you not to but the point I am making is that the same engine was used to give Snake the 'wanna be' Tony Hawk image and the results are pretty awful.

What I was getting at was that there are extra gameplay elements on top of the standard game. Still extras, even if they are crap.

Oh God, you've gone and done another reply..
