The game was played on legal copy bought on GOG, before delisting. I used V's Fix, because the game doesn't support modern controllers and resolutions.
The gameplay is inproved MGS1 gameplay with new First-Person View aiming feature. Both main characters play almost identically. The stealth system is much more ruthless. Guards can see much further, though they still notice you only in their "cone" of sight, and alert is provoked only after the guard requests backup on the radio. The story is much more confusing, than the story of MGS1, but everything is explained in late game. The bosses are fun, but on higher difficulties, they are unfair. After Playing MGS3, I can say, that MGS2 is the hardest game in the series.
Still, I think that this game is necessary to play through, if you have completed MGS1.
