Who's Gettin' it? I know I am. It'll kick @$$, Raiden on the Tanker, Snake on the Plant, Skateboarding and the return of the Tux!

No skateboarding I'm afraid....

I really don't wnat to get this, it's just a cheap money-making scam.
But I will.
I know I will.
So will everyone else.
We're all feeble-minded easily-manipulated cash cows. They'll milk us all with their flashy games.

My udders hurt : )

Thats because the V(Virtual) R(Reality) missions. If you played the first MGS game you'll see that they use the same sort of effect. Seeing as its VR they wouldnt want these missions looking the same as the main game.

I think the original game is still there in full. I believe it's a double sided DVD - one side for Sons of Liberty and one side for Substance.

And I'm pretty sure that you DO get skateboarding. Although it was initially said to be false, I think that the MGS team allowed the Skating game team to have Snake as a hidden character if they could have the big shell level for Substance.

Yeah, thats all very well and good, but they still look rubbish, they could at least of added the squares with the flashy bits like in MGS VR Missions for PS1, it'd look like, 10X better if they did that.

Kastro, all I know is it comes out in Spring (according to my mates magazine)!

March according to OPS2.

Skateboarding IS in the game as far as I know. Originally people thought it was just taken from a skateboarding game by Konami, but they've just used what that game achieved to add a mini game to MGS2.

It's good for those who haven't bought MGS2 yet, but for the rest of us - it's just a rip off! Although marketing will persuade loads of people to get it. Which is good for the industry, I suppose, as MGS3 might have a bigger budget then.
