Sure when we discovered that in MGS2 we wouldn't be able to play as Snake right off the bat, we were annoyed. I was anyway, sorry to speak for you guys there :P

But after I got over the initial shock, Raiden's story started to get more interesting, and his agility often came in handy, being able to hot foot away from guards faster and cartwheel over gaps is never a bad thing. And to prove he really isn't that much of a woman, he manages to take down between 3-20 Metal Gears, depending on your skill level. In a different way to Snake, he's a bit of a badass in his own right! There's this quote I heard once that describes the guy perfectly... 'Dude may look like a lady, but he's alright by me.'.
