Whilst watching the Issue nine video of GBX magazine, i saw an add for the GBX Cheat Cart for GBA. On the video it scrolled down a list of GBA games, showing MGS2 towards the middle. The others games *WERE* GBA games. I know do not know whether to believe this, and also do not know if it would be a good idea. Your opinions please.....

I wonder when Konami announce some big titles for the Gamecube. ISS 2 is neat but it's no MGS...

I know, just downloaded them both the other day, rather good. :D

I did actually own them once but swapped them for the Zelda game...shame.

well the GBA version won't be the same as the PS2 version!!! There was a MGS game out for GBcolour that was a top down perspective stealth shooter. MGS2 on GBA will no doubt be the same, using a top down perspective, adn just using the same plot as the PS2 version, and maybe having similar level layouts, or set pieces...

But there is no chance of it being the same game. That's just impossible.

Too advanced for the GBA.

I've never played any of the Metal Gear Solid games on any format, so I can't really comment.
But it is a highly rated and hyped game, and something that good needs to be tested as a hand-held conversion!
But FPS's have never been all that good on GameBoys, so I don't know if it'd be all that great in an 'Advanced' format.
