I just finished the game on Normal... finally! I had never been able to beat the Metal Gear RAYS, but now I did, and Solidus too. I was very pleased with the ending, as it made me respect the game a lot more. I know reviewing MGS2 several years after it came out is overkill, but you can read my review here:http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/metalgearsolid2sonsol/player_review.html?id=678341&tag=player-reviews;continue. It's one of my few first reviews, so it isn't too spectacular.
