Heh. I really disliked the controller scheme for Substance, too. I gave it a try once and wished it was possible to stick a good old PS2 controller in there. ;P
Everything else was pretty cool, though.
Perhaps you were among the many dedicated fans who were perplexed as to what was going through Hideo Kojima's mind when he developed <b>Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty</b>. The entire scope that for years manifested the theme "tactical espionage action" adopted a new tone that focused more on epic storytelling than actual player interaction.
To put it simply, <i>MGS2</i> wasn't quite what anyone expected. Then reports trickled in regarding an updated version....
"...rumored discussions in relation to an updated edition to the "Sons of Liberty" installment remained. These were finally put to rest at last year's E3 2002 Expo, as Konami introduced <i>Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance</i>. While many considered <i>Sons of Liberty</i> to be one of the oddest editions in the franchise, <i>Substance</i>, (to put it lightly) would be acknowledged as one of the silliest."

Ah, I wasn't aware you had an Xbox. (btw, have you been in the staff board lately? Go go go!)
Good review... I don't completly agree with everything, but still quite good.

Nah, I don't. I just started working at a game store, though, so I tried it out there.

I am not bothered much by the slowdown. It hasn't affected my gameplay experience too much.Originally posted by bahn
action elements are plagued by slowdown? I mean - it's really bad, impossible to ignore
And how do you get the skateboarding missions?
The slowdown is there in some places and when it pops up (especially at the end when facing the Metal Gear Ray calvary - it's disgusting. Sorry, it shouldn't exist on the Xbox hardware at all.
Hint: complete VR Missions and Snake Tales
Boo hiss... Snake's Tales is hard.
