Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

released on Nov 13, 2001

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the sequel to the espionage action game Metal Gear Solid. Much of the gameplay remains the same, as the game's protagonist has to sneak past guards, outsmart them using various gadgets and defeat the tricky boss enemies. The game expanded its predecessor's cover mechanic, with Solid Snake or Raiden able to take cover behind walls or objects and pop out to shoot at enemies, while the improved enemy AI allowed enemies to also take cover from the player. Metal Gear Solid 2 is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time, as well as a leading example of artistic expression in video games.

Enjoyed my ride with Metal Gear Solid but it didn't leave a big impression on me but 2 was a complete game changer for me. It perfected the gameplay of its predecessors , has tons of little details , a wonderful art direction with memorable set pieces and a story is full of twists and interesting questions which just like the gameplay , builds upon the foundation of the previous entries to build something truly special.

my whole personality is based off this silly twink

The smartest game ever made

Much more enjoyable than MGS1 and a lot more silly in a good way. Raiden as the new main character was a welcome addition and the setting were great. The story was very backloaded so a lot of the concepts they introduce either get a 30+ minute cutscene explaining it or nothing at all, but after letting the game sit for a bit everything made sense.

The sheer ridiculousness of the last 3 hours of the game was very entertaining and I thought the Arsenal Gear section was cool in how it presented one of the games twists. Gameplay was a massive improvement over MGS1 and the boss fights were much better this time round although some fights did get a little tedious. Overall a great game.
