Ok, you've come this far... but this is really a topic for those who've read the spoiler in PSW and can feel my pain, so I'll give the rest of you a chance to turn back, before its too late.......
WHAT!!!!?????!!!!! I've got one of these "funny" friends, who after reading the spoiler came to me and said "Woah, have you heard the news about MGS2???" and I replied;
"The spoiler you mean? No, and I don't want to hear about it either thankyou very much"
He said:
"Oh, so you don't want to know that you don't play the game as Snake then?"
Funny eh? So, then I had to read the review and see the new "hero". I was not impressed. As if that wasn't bad enough the magazine described Raiden/ Jack as having "suspiciously heavy thighs" then I saw the screen shots of some blonde haired, surfer dude hanging from a ledge and displaying his almighty behind. Please God, let this be a windup, i thought. But no dice.
The magazine even came right out and said "the guy is clearly not as cool as snake" how is that inspiring us to play?
Does anyone understand why Kojima has done this? Kept the game shrouded in mystery before its release. I was thinking ooh, complex twist story, cracking! Oh but no. None of that, well some of that, but it seems that Kojima wanted to hide the fact that you play the bulk of the game as a remarkably inferior character with even stupider hair!
Go, Kojima! Your praise is thouroughly undeserved.
Why? Its just like Game Of Death 2, which you only watch because your a hardened Bruce Lee fan and you sit all excited for 15 minutes before the fool jumps offa cliff and you sit through an amazingly empty 1 3/4 hours of film.
Why couldn't he have been hiding something good?
I ask you this, those of you who've had it ruined... if we'd known that we are to play as "Jack" for the larger part of the game, would the hype have been even nearly the same?
This reporter says no!

I think that it would be great if you could have a i link multi player mode where you and a friend do the levels with one of you as snake and one of you as raiden
I read about this ages ago when it was released in the US sadly the site i read it on didn't mention Spoiler so sadly it's all old news to me so i haven't read to much into it so i still get a little surprise.
yeh i think that tarrant
I think in the next one they shoud put both characters so it becomes like Resident Evil.
Read the review in PSW. They reakon that it is 2 games as one. When you take over as Radien you have to train again. You can be Snake again once you start playing as Radien. But once you complete the game you get the option to play the 2 parts sepratly.
Also they took just under 20 hours playing it on normal and watching every cut scene. They say if you play it on easy and skip every cut scene you can complete it in around 6 hours.

It would be good to choose between Snake and Raiden and get different endings from each so it would really be two games.
I think you get to swap between both characters during the game so that will be good.

The reason that they used this new guy Raiden was because Kojima wanted a younger more athletic person and I admit he is not as cool as Snake but the game is still good. I also don't think that the hype would have been as big if they would have told that you didn't play as Snake.
I also heard that for the next MGS they were trying to choose who was going to be the next character. The chooses were Snake, Raiden, or Otacon.
I mean who wants to play as Otacon!???

I was a bit P*ssed off when that lad in FOG chat told me. i think that being Raiden wont be as good as being snake because we all like snake and i dont want to play as some person whose name is obviously nicked from mortal combat.
He is meant to be more athletic but i dont like him.
