Is there going to be a follow up to Sons Of Liberty? Perhaps on another console or with a different name where Snake isn't the main character?

Apparently MGS2 is the last in the saga, can anyone who's played the game confirm that the ending in MGS2 leaves it wide open for MGS3?

Don't want any MGS2 spoilers though thanks!

Hmmm.....

Why pay 30 - 40 quid just to rush through it and miss out on what the game has to offer if you take your time. You don't rush sex, do you?

How do you say 'this game has 18 hours of gameplay'? Does the game cease to work after 18 hours? I must have played through the original Metal Gear at least 4 or 5 times, and I savoured each moment I played it, rather than steaming through it in one day. Er-no, if your friend finished it in the same day that he bought it, it's his own fault.

You don't buy a bag of sweets, eat them in 30 seconds and say 'that bag of sweets was too small', do you? Or do you?

This game is still very short. It took me about 9 hours to beat it on hard the first time through. That's watching all of the cut scenes. The game has awsome graphics and a very deep story line. As for the ending I'll just say, "Yes Mr. President."

On CBFD...

Any game which I can complete within 'rental length' time, is too short!

It took me quite a while to unlock everything on Lylat wars though, so that counts as a decent lifespan. Bought it again a couple weeks ago actually. Only a tenner.

Here's a review from Megatokyo, which poked me in the eye today.



It’s really sad to think that what will likely be heralded the best game of 2000, was mediocre.

I speak none other then, Mullet Gear.. er.. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Now before I proceed to bash it, I will engage in the standard practice of saying something nice about the game, then beat it into the ground with an ugly stick. This is a method used by game reviewers to make us seem more professional.

For all of MGS2’s technical merits, and great gameplay, the game has lost a lot of the charm that it had in MGS. The very world that was so painstakingly crafted for us to save in MGS, is gone.

It’s my belief that the game designers got really loaded, called in sick the next day, and let some philosophy/art students that were interning take time off from bringing them coffee and donuts to let them write what passes for plot in MGS2. Sure the game is fun, so long as you wear a blindfold and earmuffs while interacting with the characters. Besides that, it’s great.

From a technical achievement, the game is a milestone, a new standard by which to measure tactical simulations. It’s just too bad that in the effort to make such outstanding game play, they forgot about the whole ‘plot’ thing.

In comparison, I’ve been playing another game as of late, with great game play, and as good a plot as in MGS2. The game is called, Super Monkey Ball. Apparently, there are these monkeys, and they have balls, big giant balls, which you use to move about. My friends and I spent the entire evening coming up with monkey and ball related jokes from this one.

But CBFD was one of the best games on the N64, and I'll hear no bad mouth about it. :0)
