It is rare to play a game with so much hype and be completely satisfied. I've been waiting for this game to come out for a while. I've been reading articles, reviews and thinking "When is it going to be my turn?" Well, when Metal Gear Solid 2 finally sold, I sent my Mom to pick it up after work and played the crap out of it the first night.
It was awesome. The intro to get to the start menu alone was rad. The cutscenes were lengthy, but man were they cool. The time they consumed didn't even bother me. Maybe because they were so intense. Some of the scenes got really emotional. Maybe because I'm a girl, but my friend said he felt really sad at the same exact part as me which was comforting. Some of the things were repetitive from the first Metal Gear Solid, a little deja vu. But it didn't bother me at all. I enjoyed it, nonetheless. The ending was cool. I don't want to give anything away, but it's completely worth the... about 30 minutes of end cutscenes. I've beaten the game with a pathetic ranking, but I plan on playing again. With so many rankings the game isn't one I'd beat and then stop playing. I still need to collect all the dogtags. That is why the game will never get boring. A couple years from now, I can imagine myself still playing that game. That's how good it is. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty rocks and rolls. Everyone should own it.
