![]() ![]() Some versions of the game let you choose which chapter to play first, others do not. But as to avoid spoilers, I won’t provide any additional details. Naturally, there’s much more the story than originally meets the eye. In an effort to rescue the president, an elite unit known as FOXHOUND dispatches one of their newest operatives, Raiden, to infiltrate the Big Shell and locate the President. They demand a massive amount of money in exchange for the president’s release. During a PR tour of the Big Shell facility, the President of the US is taken hostage by a group of terrorists calling themselves The Sons of Liberty. The second chapter of the game occurs two years after the tanker incident. To protect the environment, a floating cleanup facility known as “Big Shell” is created near the site of the wreckage. As a result of the tanker incident, a massive oil spill occurs. The chapter ends with the tanker sinking and the apparent death of Solid Snake. Just as Snake begins his mission, the tanker is taken over by a team of Russian mercenaries led by none other than Revolver Ocelot (a major antagonist from the last game). However, as it turns out, Snake and his team are not the only ones interested in Metal Gear. In this chapter, the player controls Solid Snake as he sneaks aboard a US Marine Corps tanker that is rumored to be transporting a new Metal Gear prototype. The first takes place in the year 2007 (two years after the events of Metal Gear Solid). This game features two separate chapters. ![]() I own the physical PS3 release, so that is the version I played for this review.Īll of the Metal Gear games take place in an alternate-history timeline. In the end, it really boils down to playing whatever version you can get your hands on. So, it’s much easier for people to get ahold of the Xbox version. The Xbox 360 version is compatible with the Xbox One/X/S, however. But then again, PS3 consoles are almost impossible to find these days and MGS HD is currently unavailable on PS NOW. On the surface, I’d say the PS3 version, with its pressure-sensitive controls is probably the definitive release. But this begs the question, which version of Metal Gear Solid HD is better PS3 or Xbox 360? – Well, that’s a tough one to answer. Not only does the HD version offer widescreen and HD support, but it also includes most of the additional content found in Substance. When playing today, the HD version is what I recommend. More recently, an enhanced version of the game was included as part of the Metal Gear Solid HD collection for both PS3 and Xbox 360. This version also includes various game modes and hundreds of VR and alternative missions for players to experience. Substance contains a number of gameplay tweaks and enhancements. An updated version ( Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance) was made available a year and a half later for both PS2 and Xbox. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was originally released for the Playstation 2 in 2001. For this reason alone, I’ve been itching to experience the title for myself.īut before I share my thoughts on the game, let’s take a moment to discuss the best way to experience MGS2 today. But whenever the discussion turns to which Metal Gear game stands above all the rest, the general consensus always points to Metal Gear Solid 2. Legendary is a big word, but it’s one that tends to come up any time a Metal Gear game is mentioned. Regardless, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve finally had the chance to sit down and experience the legendary Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. But still, it’s much too long of a gap if you ask me. I’ve accomplished quite a bit in terms of my backlog in those eight years. It’s been almost eight years since I played and reviewed the original Metal Gear Solid. TAGS MGS5 PC Keyboard Commands, MGSV PS4 Controls ![]()
