Nothing against Konami, I think they're a great company in the games industry. Bringing us MGS and MGS2, Silent Hill 1 & 2, ZOE, Pro Evo and many others.

But, with some of these games: MGS, MGS2 ZOE, to name a few, they seem a bit short too me.

MGS on the PSX1 was a great game and made the PSx1 what it is, but it was a little too short. Then came Silent Hill, which I thought was a lengthy game, especially with the seven different endings.
Then with the anticipation of MGS2 on the PS2, It was going to be the best game ever. Everyone thought it would last forever, the great graphics, excellent gameplay etc... What a game it was going to be. Then after my aveareg of Twenty hours of gameplay the game was over. Maybe yes, I haven't got all the dog tags and finished every difficulty level, but all that is, is replaying the game over and over until you have done it all. Gets a bit boring in that respect.

I think MGS2 was a little too short, and then when I realised, on our very special extra DVD, that they left quite a bit out of the game, especially the chinese man, I was very disappointed. MGS2 could have been a bit longer, after I kicked Solidus' a"%, I thought yeah, come on, wheres Snake, lets roam the city and destroy Arsenal Gear and kill Ocelot. However, arrived Snake and the game was over, you didn't even realise who the patriots were. What an ending it would have been to really find out who they were. Anyway, we got a little bit of info. about them but still no names.

Konami games seem to be a bit short as they want to get them out to the public by a certain date, why? I would rather get a great game that lasts longer and has more gameplay than have it by a certain date.
WE had to have it later than first scheduled because of an extra DVD, which by the way was a great added extra.

So closing, the bigger the better, and MGS2 was a little too short for my liking. We, as the gaming public, want great games that last longer than the average game.

apt name

I don't know why, maybe they want the player to look forwrd to the next version by cutting the current one short, thus guaranteeing increased sales
