Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

I dunno, I could justify $30 for multiplayer alone, the descriptions of the games sound fucking HAWT.

Do this and you'll miss one of the best games this generation. MGS2 is an excellent video game.

If you worked anywhere but IGN, you'd get fired for that stupidity. Congrats on your promotion.

Oh, then perhaps you could tell me where the game fails in gameplay, because I couldn't find a single problem with it. The story is whack and not all will like it, but the game itself is undeniably awesome.

I dunno, 2 had good gameplay, and graphics for it's time, and while convoluted, I could still follow it. It's not a masterpiece at all, but it's fun.

Better yet, play the Zone of Enders MGS2 demo and you'll have played the only good part of that game.

MGS2: Substance is definitely worth a buy, just don't expect the story to make much sense at the end. I always like to replay through all the Metal Gears to get a bigger feel of the scope of story they're telling.

MGS4 is going to be nuts just based on MGS2's ending but it looks like a mix of both 1 and 2. MGS3 plays it much safer with the story and has a more sensical classic type of storytelling in that it doesn't try to mindfuck you that much. The game play is very good and improved on MGS and MGS2's because it's based on a different kind of survival and hiding as well as the fun and deeply satisfying boss battles. The CQC fighting techniques are also a blast and welcome addition.

I just wish they stopped re-releasing games. It's an ugly trend I hope goes away unless they make the newer version a GH reduced price point.

Yeah, seriously. The plot goes pretty insane at the end, but MarkRyan is right. Jesus, I can't believe I just typed that. Anyway, the gameplay stays solid (sorry) all the way through, and there is nothing about this game so damning that it wouldn't be worth playing.
