Do you think Raidens a wussy little girl or do u think hes a kickaz$ ninja? Was MGS2 too much for him to be redeamed by MGSIV or did you like him in MGS2 even, share your thoughts.

It was more of Rose that bugged me than Raiden. Raiden was ok. He was awesome in MGS4.

I actually liked him, he's pretty cool.

Even though I haven't played MGS4, I don't like this new cyber suit Raiden I've seen in videos. Maybe it looks better in game..

I thought he looked way cooler, but I haven't played MGS4 yet either. Back to the topic, I've always thought Raiden was pretty cool, but not even close to Snake's level of coolnes.

Umm i liked Raiden in MGS2...while it was just surprising that Solid Snake was only playable for half the game... I hate Rose though... In MGS4 Otacon was kinda getting on my nerves unlike in MGS2.

Raiden is actually one of my favorite video game hero's. He didn't need to be the Snake type to get me approval, he had to be original and move the story along. Which if I had to play as a hidden Snake from Raiden in MGS2 I don't think I would have liked or approved that story line. I actually think Raiden will go down in the history of video games as a hero who nobody liked.

i liked him in mgs2. common guys, the way he was in 2 was perfect because he lacked real life combat experience. so a little emotion is understandable, plus he still kicked a$$

To me he has just as much ground as any other MGS characters. He's not that bad of a sissy in MGS2, there was only the whole fuss to begin with because people can't cope with not being able to play as snake.

In MGS2 I felt akward that I had to play as Raiden dueing most of the game, I didn't hate him or anything. In MGS4 he has matured and gained a lot of experience in combat and I have great respect for him, he held it down in the game.

First of all, not high heels, more like hands for feet, secondly I always thought raiden was cool. I think people only disliked him because they didnt get to play as snake in MGS2 for very long.

Lol, i never realized those were high heels!!! But, IMO Raiden was always cool, even in MGS2. In MGS4 when *stuff* happened to him a few times, I was like "NOOOO!!!!!!" I was sad but then I was happy. LOL by *stuff* I dont want to give any spoilers but if youve played it you know what happens to him.

I liked him alot in MGS2 and didn't get why everyone was lashing out at him. Sure, he wasn't Snake, but he was cool in his own way. In MGS4 he was just a freaking badass, I loved him even more then I did in MGS2.

They should release a patch or update where you can play a level with Raiden and his Katana. It can be like a VR mission, but because the world has become so advanced the VR mission is a fully 3D simulation which replicates the middle east area or something. At least, that can be there excuse to reuse a pre-made level. As long as we can play with badass Raiden.

One other thing that would be cool is, from the main menu there should be an option to replay some of the bosses, but with a Raiden twist on them. For example Laughing Octopus can like try to stab Raiden with her tentacles and Raging Raven can try swooping in on Raiden and then you have to jump on her back and stab her or something. It's all wishful thinking but those would be cool downloadable updates.

I think Raiden is a "Wussy Girl," they shouldn't have forced us to play as him which really soured MGS2. Raiden looks like he belongs in a Final Fantasy game, not a MGS type game. And I doubt that Kojima would use Raiden as a main character in any future MGS games just because it's half and half with him when it comes down to people loving and hating him. Raiden can go sit on hott coal!

Raiden a 'wussy little girl' ? what you been smoking.. raiden played a big part in mgs 4.. saved snake several times.. and got badly injured from itand still survived fightin again and again, if a new mgs is made i doubt he'll play a big part in it this time.

I didn't mind playing a Raiden in MGS2. I felt that the storyline would not of been as good if it was Snake. I guess his development throughout the game made him worth playing with. The only thing that I didn't like was his hair. He looked like a blonde hair steve perry. But in MGS4 his character was my favorite and was disappointed that I couldn't play as him.

I didn't love him or hate him in MGS2, but seeing him in MGS4 he is waaay more awesome and bad-ass. The first time I saw him in MGS4 the cutscene was very over-stimulating,my jaw dropped. Then again I was stoned off my ass.

pretty cool in MGS4, don't understand why people immediately wanted to be snake in every single game, no1 really complained that you were actually big boss in MGS3, maybe cus he was exactly the same as snake...

It sucks that almost everyone hated Raiden in mgs2. Raiden is my favorite mgs character but mgs4 Raiden sucked. I hated how they made him a superbadass over the top cyborg ninja. Raiden lost all of the personality that made him the original and realistic character he was in mgs2. Now he's just lifeless cyborg with a Raiden face.

Well anyways, in my opinion mgs2Raiden>mgs4Raiden

He may be sort of girly, but he gets the job done.
