This thread has been linked to the game 'Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance'.
And it is very very good.
I've played the game solidly(:P) since last night and the majority of the time was spent on the 350+ VR missions, which are more enjoyable than the main game, not to mention challanging.
I havn't even had time to do the Alternate missions or Snakes tales yet. This game is value for money.
Buy it.

By slow down what do you mean? 60 fps down to 30fps or does it become totally un-playable?
Alastair, I own the game and experienced no loss in frame rate AT ALL during gameplay of the Tanker secton, just slight slow down during the opening film.
Graphics are pretty much the same as PS2, but 5.1, I cant say coz I dont have it.

No, your just repeating what you've read over the internet. The fact is the slowdown is almost non existant.

That's a random comment if I ever did see one.

I've found Splinter Cell to be a lot more slower paced and linear than Metal Gear Solid 2. Both have strengths and weaknesses, so if you're into the Steal 'Em Up genre, it's worth getting both. If I were forced to pick one however - it'd be MGS2.

Nothing unplayable. Just if you're a bit of a perfectionist, you might be a bit annoyed.

Compare both versions and you'll see. Yes, it's minimal, but it's there nonetheless.

I know, but as the story goes, J-42 created that account for a friend. He then got stuck on that account, and couldn't work out how to get back onto his original account. To solve this, he decided to try and get the account banned "with the permission of his friend" as he later said in the customer services forum.
He annoyed the hell out of everyone while trying to get banned (and not admitting who he was until later on) instead of posting a polite request for help.
J-42 has also posted a lot of similar anti-microsoft topics in this forum, but I couldn't be bothered to go back and find them.
So for that reason, I'd take anything J-42 says with a pinch of salt.
