Not actually played any of these three, but I can tell you that reviews for NFS have generally been good, scoring in the mid to high 80s.

>THUG

Don't have this one either, but have THPS4 and THPS3. Both of those are excellent games that grow on you every day. At first you can feel like its an impossible game, (if its your first THPS game), but every time you have a go you get a little better, and the game does so at the same time.

> any good rpg

Bit old now, but Final Fantasy 10 is still the best in my opinion. I would also recommend Kingdom Hearts and Dark Chronicle.

> same with a shooting game

Some would disagree, but I'd put TimeSplitters 2 top of the FPS list. I an excellent challenge if you are willing to explore all the different modes, and has a superb multiplayer game.

> and other games which you think are so good that i should buy it

If you don't already have these, then they are certainly worth a look:

Platform - Jak II: Renegade
Racing - Gran Turismo 3 or Burnout 2
Action - Metal Gear Solid 2 or GTA Vice City
Sports - SSX 3

Can't go wrong with that list.

Substance is worth getting more than the original although the original is £20. So its worth getting for the price

Many complained about long cut scenes in MGS2, but if you have an attention span longer than a finger biscuit, then you'll be able to cope, which leaves you to enjoy a great game. The controls have been completely perfected, and the level of detail in the game is astounding. I remember when everyone on these forums first tried the game - we kept making threads about the new things discovered in the game, such as throwing guards overboard when they were knocked out, or collecting dog tags from guards etc...

As mentioned, the newer version, Substance, contains the original game, as well as other missions with Snake, a skateboarding game, loads of VR missions and a few other extra features. Its probably a little more expensive, but its probably worth it. If you're anything like me, and a million or so others, then either version will probably be fine.

You'll also have to comprehend the most widely imaginable plot in gaming history

If you're prepared for MGS2, and not an impatient tøsser, then you'll notice it's got some of the best, most memorable scenes ever. As plots, setting, atmosphere and characters go, it doesn't get much better.

The only bit that really need taking an axe to is the tedium that is those codec conversations between Raiden and his bird.

Save it, lady. He's trying to save the world right now.

The scene with Vamp in the generator room bit especially, rules muchly. And when Revolver steals RAY. And when you see Fortune for the 1st time. And just about everything else.
Love it.

Also, they've put so many "Ooh, this is a secret conversation so let's cut to codec" moments, that it's obvious that they just couldn't be bothered to model the acting scenes between characters, instead using the "reliable, safe codec".

Skip codec: Press triangle. :D Do that if you're impatient, and they fly past!
