Fantastic little belter! Extremely Tiny, everything appears to be pretty much the same aside from it being the latest drive with all the best qualities of the later PS2 model. Extremely quiet to the point where you actually need to put your ear next to it to hear it. When you look at it next to the Xbox it is crazy, the size difference is absolutely huge.
Top stuff!
Overall it is probably the best looking and quietest console I have ever owned.
PS2: "Ever heard of the Atkins diet?"
It is the little touches like that that make the Metal Gear games stand out. The presentation/visual/audio experience is faultless and all the Metal Gear games have been at the top of the tree when it comes to these areas of the game.
They can’t really do a hell of a lot visually though without waiting for the next generation of Playstation or taking the series PC exclusive and we all know they won't do that.
A top draw story and presentation is pretty much a dead cert and judging by all the previous Metal Gear titles they won't let up on the gameplay either, just as long as there is 'more' I will be happy. The new physics look excellent, as do the moves, the addition of knife stealth kills, the whole idea of camouflage and jungle warfare is absolutely top draw and outside of Vietcong on the PC I can't think of many titles that have managed to carry through the feeling of claustrophobic jungle environments.
It won't disappoint on any level I don't think, a pretty much guaranteed smash hit as far as I am concerned.
It is nice to have titles like this; I know what I will be buying well in advanced.
But all is forgiven, as long as we can hear their thoughts by pressing R1 and R2, and zoom into their heads!!!
