Shoot out the light my man.

Of course it can, But the Xbox hardware is different to the Gamecube hardware.

Xbox comes out on top when it comes on performance, But both consoles can churn our equally impressive looking games. The Gamecube will manage to pull it off, with no problems, The PS2 on the otherhand...

Hmmm.

Not just.

The Cube can do some pretty lovely things.

Resi 4 for example. Full 3-D. Looks just as incredible.

Thank you.

:D

i'm stuck on the third leval, where your in the small room, and have to type in the code really quickly before the camera turns back round.

Is this just skill or is there a different technique?

Just stay behind the bushes and mic the back window nearest to you. Once you have done that you have to escape over the wall on the opposite side. There is a pipe which leads up between a split in the barber wire fence. To get past this bit without being seen you need to go near the entrance to the embassy (the darkened area near where the guard stands) and then wait for the guards to move. Quickly move across and onto the other side into the darkened area, once again wait for the guards to move and sneak down the wall and over the pipe. The van is at the end of the street :)

You haven't seen the PS2 version running, so yes, you did slate it without reason.

Anyway - at the Chinese Embassy, after you laser-mic the conversation and the General goes to his car - what the hell do you do? I keep getting 'mission over' even though no-one sees me, and I can see no way of following the car.

I didn't slate the PS2 version without reason though did I? I went on past ports from more powerful machines! Techincally the PS2 won't have the graphics and you know that, however if you look at games like Devil May Cry you know that the PS2 can produce the goods. In MGS2 the only time I used the lights was on the ship underground when they all attacked in a battle mode ut apart from that I can't remember hiding in the shadows to escape enemies.

So you didn't shoot any lights or notice the torches on the weapons in MGS2 then?

And how the HELL is anything I said "anti Xbox"? I've said I love this game. It's you who started the console sl@gging with comments about the PS2 version before anyone's even seen it. The fact that they're coding it means that it's possible, and the MGS2 shows that the type of game can and has been done, and done well, if it's done properly.

If they do a straight, rushed port of the Xbox version, yes, it will suffer. If they do it properly, there's no reason it can't be equally outstanding.
