MGS 2 or MGS 3:Substanance. I know the story starts with 3, but which is the better game? Thanks for any replies.

The main focus on the MGS games are the story, not just the gameplay. Get the essentials collections like other people mentioned, and play MGS1,MGS2, and MGS3.

I think 3 has the best gameplay and story(arguably 1 has the best) and has the best characters.

It would be good to play MGS2 before you play MGS3.

If you just need one game, then get MGS3. The "Essentials Collection" is the best choice though, especially if you have not played the first game yet.

Get the Essentials Pack... you need to start with MGS1 and play in sequential order, otherwise most of the impact of 3 will be lost on you.

play it in the original order. mgs1 then mgs2 then mgs3. that way, you will see the improvements on graphix and gameplay. if you start with mgs3, the previous games would look and feel ugly coz you have played a polished and improved game already.
