When you talk about the best bits of gaming, you talk about games like Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Shenmue.
I have heard quite a lot about Shenmue. It something about a boy who comes into his house and finds his father rejecting a stranger who was asking him where the "Mirror" was, his father was killed by the stranger. That's pretty much all you know about your mission. You have to solve the mysteries like who was the stranger? What is the Mirror? And what did your father have to do with it. So, with not much background, you have alot to do. Good. It will take longer. The graphics are excellent as well. The difference between Shenmue and MGS2 is that Shenmue is more of an RPG with great graphics, and MGS is a shoot 'em up sneak 'em up game. You see,in Shenmue, you don't get an AK-47, C4's or Stun Grenades, which you get in MGS2.
MGS2 looks like a revolutionary game. The graphics are breathtaking, but different from Shenmue's. Shenmue's are...how can I put it...brighter?? Is that the word??? I'm not sure, I suppose it's 'cos they're a different genre of game. There is a new plot, I'm not sure exactly how it goes, but it ends up with main character Solid Snake on a large ship, carrying some kind of nuclear threat or something. The graphics are so detailed that you can see rain splattering on the ships decks, if something like a bottle gets shot, you can see a hole in it, things like that. You get extra weapons, and hopefully it will be a lot longer than MGS, which was a little short.
So, to sum up, both of these games are revolutionary, and I think Nintendo need to keep up, and make they're own, as I can't see Perfect Dark keeping up with any of these. If I get a DC, it will be partly 'cos of Shenmue, and I'm getting a PS2 partly because MGS2. That sums it up, doesn't it??? I think you get what I mean.
But which is better???? I don't think you can tell.
Thanks for reading, Ant.
