Great Tactical Game
The Game is a fairly long game if you take time to read story line and play the extra missions per stage. But if you don't care about the story you can skip any conversation and the silly movie clips. Which is an awesome thing they fixed from the first game. Game time should still get 10 to 20 hours of game play (with the extra missions).
The graphics were good and nothing like the first game. This game had more of an anime feel. Points in relation to anime: (1) Thick outline of character, (2) Strong usage of still frame shots for movie and information time. (3) Very strong emphasise on the women's boobs and no real effort in to much else, (4) Very loud and annoying announcers, and (5) Freaky little kid who is key to the whole story line.
The story line however never really felt like a Metal Gear story line. It just used the character (Snake) and that was it. The whole have to destroy metal gear because it is the right thing to do was never really there. The vibe was all more interest on Snake's memory and not the mission. I just felt like they tried really hard to get the Metal Gear type story in there but didn't really make it.
Over all the game is great for play time and graphics and just plan fun to play. This game's play is much better then the first game in many areas but I haven't finished the first one quite yep. Don't worry though will have better comparison when i do finish look for it soon.
