OUTCLASSED and OBSOLETE! Gimmie a break! EGM rated MGS2:S straight 9.5s then rate SC with a 9.5, a 9.0, and 8.5, wtf were they thinking?! MGS2:s is still a good game to play but it doesn't hold a candle in any way to SC, MGS2:s looks like it's from 5 years ago compared to Sc. MGS2:S is corny and doesnt control well, and unrealistic. You're telling me snake can take on 4 guys at the same time shooting him with machine guns? yea right! In SC you die when you are shot 3-4 times, and that's how it should be! MGS2 feels so arcadey compared to SC as well, for those who opted for MGS2:S over SC I ask...WTF were you smoking?!

Well your EGM jibberish is old news yo.
2nd EGM is biased just like every other mag or gaming site.

This is nothing new.
And MGS2:Substance & Splinter Cell are two totally different games.
I own both and they are 2 exceptional games.

Substances's VR Missions, Snakes Tales, Aternatives, ect. are worth da price of the Xbox version alone.
I have not played da actual game more than 20 minutes, but I know all I need to know to tell you MGS2:S is not corny.
Dat Raiden fool is. And da game is not meant to make you think it real. I mean just look Snake. He's not even a real person in da game yo.:rolleyes:

Maybe you need to look in da mirror like all da magazine your rippin on cause you are doing da same exact thing junior.:rolleyes:

Dont be a MGS2 Wanksta hater. Both games are totally different.

I've played Splinter Cell and I still think MGS 2 Substance is a great game. In some ways I like Substance better.

Well, I have SC, but not MGS. I have constantly heard about complaints about the numerous movies in MGS, but since I haven't played it, I really have no room to talk about it, so...

well, what the hell was the point of me posting again?:confused:

I have heard good and bad stuff about MGS2. My question is, is it worth it to buy the game.

Well.......MGS2 has a really crappy story line.
But the best scene in the game is the begining of snakes story in which he jumps from the GW Bridge on to a friater holding some new type of Metal Gear. :cool:

P.S. Whats up with that vampire dude ???:rolleyes:

Splinter Cell deserves straight 9.5, its an incredible game with
rediculous graphics, MGS2 is pretty fake, like when that *** Raiden
destroys like 50 medal gears. what the? lol

Konami never claimed da game was supposed to realistic like Splinter Cell is.

It's just meant to be a fun game, and it is,..except for dat whore Raiden.

Damn Ninja, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? I rarely see Shaggy complain, unless it's a legit reason. If he didn't like the game, then he didn't. I played a bit of deathrow on that demo disc to see if I agreed with Shaggy, and I have to agree with him. Only if the price goes down to what it is now for the PS2 for MGS will I even think about picking up this game. Sorry, the VR missions just don't look all that exciting to me.

I wish I picked up the Xbox version instead on the Playstation 2 version of MGS 2.:(

Sam can take about 4-5 shots from the assault rifles (AKs), and about 90 from the pistols.:D Seriously, Fisher can take a hell of a lot of pistol rounds. He doesn't miss a step either.

I think MGS2 did sometings better than SC -- the fighting, you can hang forever, and the wounding damage system.

Sam has one move when discovered -- the elbow. SC is loaded with detail and grace, but when Sam gets into a fight SC turn into Blades of Steel on the NES.

In MGS2, Snake can bleed to death. Also, shooting an enemy in a particular location brings about the appropriate reaction. In SC, a firefight is just a race to see who dies first. Getting shot doesn't look like it hurts much, nor does it affect aiming -- all the characters bearely flinch from being hit, until the life bar empties and you're shut off like a switch.

In these respect SC just seems unfinished to me. MGS2 is a really good game but the story (intentionally) )sucks. IMO both games are great.

P.S. SC needs to seriously tone down the scripted battles.
