Oh yes, Metal Gear Solid 2 is all ready and done for a US and Japanese release for all you importing freaks out there.

Still, once again we unlucky British in the world of gaming have to wait at least a month or two 'til we can get our sweaty little paws on it. Bummer!!

Well, let's just hope it's worth the wait!

MGS2 will be all well and good, and I have to admit it's impressive, but the thing is... if you didn't like the first one, you're not gonna like this one... it's exactly the same gameplay, camera style, weapon select...

One question:

"Is the whole game set on that one ship? Does anyone know what the other levels are like?"

(That was two questions.... :D)

Well....

The game does definitely move off of the ship, but information about the other areas has been severely limited by Konami to avoid giving too much of the story away.

It would be nice if the magazines respected and kept up this idea for a couple of months after the game is released, too, so as not to spoil it for everyone. I know you don't have to read the articles, but we all know that - just like trying to avoid football scores before you've seen the highlights - someone or something always gives it away.

You can guarantee, though, that the mags will be climbing over each other trying to be first with the 'exclusive' news, with no thought given to whether or not the public actually WANT to know everything before they've played it.

True - But then again, magazines take about a month to ready - there's no way they'll get it 'in' in time and plus, if they hand out a shoddy review just so they can say they're the first magazine to do it they'll:

Lose many readers because they spoilt the ending
Annoy lots of gamers


The chances are, they'll take a good month to write the perfect review - that way, people have a decent amount of time to play the game, and even if you don't own a PS2 the game will be everywhere as soon as it's launched in all the SR pods etc... most people will be able to blagg the game from their parents anyway, you might even have some Christmas money left...

Wow, I didn't know there was action off the ship, as well as on! Thanks for the info.

I do know that it's going to absolutely fantastic - to some it'll be better than GTA3.

I simply can't wait...
