I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. What a troll game! The cover and the menus have Snake's face, the intro scene has Snake for the most part, and the real main character, Raiden, appears for like 3 seconds in that intro.
Also, the game starts and you play the most awesome level in the history of gaming, a ship you have to sneak into in order to gather evidence of the existence of a new Metal Geaf able to overcome the rest of its kind. However, the Marine shio is raided but some terrorist, so Solid Snake is going to have a tough time in his mission.
Seriously, the first part is really fun and the setting is pretty interesting! When that is finished, you're thrown into the real thing. Having fun with Snake? Surprise! New protagonist! But honestly, if the gane was the same, but with Snake, it wouldn't have changed much.
To begin with the set up is a big facility over the sea, some disposal/environmental plant thing. It's composed by 2 main structures or "shells", with several hexagon shaped rooms surrounding these shells. The hexagons are conected by bridges and all.
It's orange and it's ugly. Not to mention the amounts of backtracking. Ugh, is rodiculous! I did everything I had to do in Shell 1, so I don't want to go back to it again because I need something to progress in Shell 2.
And the bridges are lame. I want to play something similar to the Snake wegment! I don't care if I'm controlling Raiden (although I'd rather play as Snake), but give me something like that!
And the bosses? I don't like them. Although that's maybe because I'm not used to the codec. In any other game you wouldn't have help telling you what to do, so I forgot the codec existed. However, Olga was fun to fight. I'm now fighting Vamp, and he's kind of boring. Most of the time you won't be able to effectively shoot him.
Also, I think I'm a bit spoiled because I played Metal Gear Solid 3 first, which is an awesome game. Glad they improved the mechanics as much as they did.
