I didn't know what I was in for...

User Rating: 9.1 | Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance XBOX
This was the first Metal Gear game I ever played. My brother introduced it to me, and I immediately fell in love with the game.

Gameplay:
Like the last Metal Gear, the gameplay is a stealth-involved thriller which required patience and wit. It's amazing how much joy it gives you to sneak past an enemy undetected, or distracting him with a magazine and popping him in the head. Note: this game may make killing people fun for you.

Graphics:
Although the Xbox could have made some improvements over the original PS2 version, you can complain, seeing as how the graphics are still stunning, especially during cutscenes.

Sound:
The sound effects work like a charm, as they play a big part in the gameplay. MGS2 also deserves credit for having great voice-acting.

Value: Substance adds many new things to enjoy which the original PS2 version didn't have. The VR missions are added, as well as some other bonus features.

MGS2 is a great game which will attract fans of any genre. On a side note: the game involves one of the greatest storylines you may ever have the pleasure of involving yourself in.
