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 found the original Metal Gear Solid 2 on PS2 excellent.

The camera angles are so restrictive and rubbish. The AI's pathetic, the controls are stupid etc etc

There's a lot of good ideas in it, but as a game it's just rubbish to play. This has totally put me off MGS:TS on Gamecube, Konami know where they can shove their boring Metal Gear games.

its not that bad, its just I think once you've played splinter cell it just doesn't cut it,

ALTHOUGH, how far have you played through because the cut scenes are bloody brilliant

On PS2, the controls are excellent and the camera angles are fixed to allow the best experience. I thought those two aspects were some of the best worked when I played it.

But, no doubt, it differs on Xbox.

I preferred it immensely to Splinter Cell.

Not far, got into the tanker walked around listened to some boring git on the codec, snapped some necks, got annoyed by the camera angles, trealised how crap the game was, turned it off.

I don't think i'll be continuing if the only saving grace you can think of, is the cut scenes.
