Okay we have something unique here I was not expecting. Gameplay aside, Metal Gear Solid 2 presents a postmodern story that is incredibly aware of being a video game while criticizes its prequel a lot and the vision people had of it. May have some pace issues and I can see how it could've been misundertood at its time but manages to accomplish what it wanted to talk about, which is deeper than just a postmodern story predicting the future. Metal Gear Solid 2 is not only that. It also talks about the concept of "the player" through the character of Raiden and our regulated freedom in video games.
