Let me get this straight: You're disenfranchised with MGS because of the Torture Scene? That game practically reinvented the way action games look and function on consoles, and you're ticked off because it's not the same as Atari?

The only thing, IMO, that MGS failed on was not allowing for an internet connection. I'd love to play CTF with Solid Snake or Revolver Ocelot. Maybe they should add that feature in MGS2: SOL. Hell, I'd buy the PS2 for that.

hang on!! I'm not saying consoles are a waste of time. Yes i do prefer the pc games mostly, but there are some games on the consoles that just can't be beaten!! Some of my best times were spent on the game gear and master system, and the atari was probably the only quality time me and my dad spent together!!(sad ay!!).
I'm just sayin mgs is crap and aint worth all the hype!!!!!!

Hotspoon:

Go away. Metal Gear Solid shouldn't be able to take on PC games. Consoles don't have the power to compete there for crying out loud. Let me guess: You're one of these people who plays Tribes and has a custom script installed to keep you from having to EVER do anything that requires multiple taps of a key? Know what then? Don't play consoles. In fact, stay away from them entirely. And don't whine about them either. They're not your cup of tea, so be it.

BTW, likely the reason why you had trouble with the 'button-bashing' in the MGS Torture Scene is because you're not used to playing consoles. That was easy as hell for me; then again, I've been playing console-based games since the original Atari.

1) I believe you mean torture. Not some sort of light emitting device.
2) That part of the game isn`t exactly hard. Its like a couple of sprints on Track and Field.
