These are probably some of the most impressive screenshots I have ever seen.
You must also see them.

The stained glass windows, the lighting effects, the delail...
Everyone who doesn't own an xbox must also see them as the game is multiplatform (will it look as good on PS2, I don't think so)
Graphics arn't everything I know, ahh sod it, yes they are.
Forget MGS, Splinter cell is going to rock, oh yes...

No - they should actually tell you that MGS2 looks better than Halo, if they don't, its time you went to an optician.
Sorry, but having access to both games, for both systems and having seen a vast expanse of games utilising fancy rendering techniques across all platforms - Halo does not look anywhere near as good as MGS2, graphically it isn't even that impressive, just looks like a dated PC title. Where the bulk of the work has one into is the game's size, and AI, nothing else.

I posted this topic just before I went on Holiday and this is the first time I have returned to it.
I have a few things to say about some people's comments.
Tiltawhirl said "I saw lighting effects as good on my N64"
No you didn't.
Ant basicly said "MGS2s graphics are as good as Halos"
Thats not what my eyes tell me.
Alot of people said "the lighting effects arn't that good"
Stop fooling yourself, they are impressive and bear in mind they will look better in motion.
Overly used or not, I think the lighting looks cool. We shall see how it all turns out.

Lemmings is a brutal game. Some levels are just cruel.

MGS2 rocks. But the plot has so many holes in it, it's laughable.

That's good. The MGS2 plot was TOO complicated, which is why MGS1 was so much better. And it was the first game that really included emotion, one of the reasons why this is my favourite game ever.
Ah well, I absolutely loved (along with millions of others), and you didn't, so who's missing out? {:)
