"MGS2 Done and Dusted"

Bought it first thing this morning and just beat it. Excellent game. :-) Can see this being played as much as the first game. ;-)

People enjoy games in different ways. Personally, I would feel I have wasted £40 if I complete a game in just one day, but that’s just my personal opinion. Others will see it as a chance to complete it again, and to complete the game is less time.

I have played the game for roughly 6 hours 30 mins, and I’m on the part where you are given a uniform from the Ninja… where about in the game am I? Beginning or middle?

Looks like this guy has bunked off school, skipped all meals, played non-stop till 10pm and completed the game in a day. Then he came over here.

If you ask me it's a waste of a game to complete in a day. I prefer it when they last for several weeks or even months. For example I still haven't completed Operation Flashpoint and I got it about 6 months ago. A bit at at time...

well im going to play it again in a bit

My copy is *possibly* at home at the moment, and won`t be played by me for two weeks. However, one of my housemates has it, so I`ve made a few of my own first impressions.

First of all, I`ve played the demo (from ZOE) for a total of about 10 hours. If I can spend that long exploring, shooting and stuff, then I`m sure I can make the game last. I`m not talking about making mistakes because of my "incompetence" (lol!), simply that if you go after the tags, every decent photo opportunity, and every tiny detail in the scenery that could be exploited, then you can spend literally years of your life enjoying the game.

Is it because I`m stupid and can`t play games? Well, could be. I dunno. There are sure to be lots of gamers out there better than me.

Is it because I have a boring personality, and enjoy repitition? Nope, firstly I don`t enjoy too much repitition, and secondly, MGS2 so far doesn`t have that. There seems to be something to surprise you around every corner.

i have done five hours of it so far, i heard it was 15 hours long?

Around 10 hours


So thats the first question answered.

It isnt a very long game..

Is it worth the money then ??

Thing is, I'm like that with games, I play them all day.
;-)) Just cause I beat MGS2 in one day doesn't mean thats it. I played through the first game around 20 times !

So no doubt I'll be going back to this one again, its still gonna keep me going till I pick up my X-Box. :-)

Then on the 22nd I'll be picking up Dynasty Warriors 3. :-)

I watched every video clip and answered every call on the codec.

What people don't seem to realise is thta the game has probably lasted the same length of time for someone who completes it in 2 days, as someone who takes a couple of weeks.

Only the person for who it takes a couple of weeks may only play for 1 hour a day, for two weeks = 14 hours.

The person who finishes it in two days may have played it for 7 hours a day = 14 hours.

Same time, less days, see?
