So get this, I play this game on normal the second to last level. Meaning one more and it was the final boss. I went through hell.

The game has you go through really tough things, and really boring environments. The hard part of the game is really the backtracking. I never needed a strategy guide, but jeez man what is this. Once I got underground, I had to backtrack like 8 times.

So the second to final level had me going under lasers again. After I narrowly got by the lasers, I had to go on a catwalk to a small room. There was no cover across the catwalk, and it was easy to die. I ran across for my life to the room which was to the right of the catwalk. Right when I step in the room a missle comes at me and I lose all of my health, and my place. I had to restart from before the lasers.

The games mechanics are fine, the bots are boring though. The longer you play, the more times the nuclear bomb thingy goes off. It went off once during my whole time, and that was right before getting to the underground.

The game itself is boring. I hated bactracking, and I hated how the enemies always had the upperhand. It was relatively easy somewhat, but powerups and life refills were hard to find, so alot of the time I was at low health, knee deep in baddies.

Again, the backtracking is horrible. But also the lasers. My gosh, you have to avoid these lasers on a roof and at the second to last level. The lasers are HARD to get by. You have to do split second reactions.

You can only save once a level is complete, so get ready to make commitments. You can't reload from continues so you better finish that level.

Again, I hate this game for making the second to last level so hard. Honestly, keep the level of difficulty at medium. How hard is it to make the game easier. Koei decided to make all that time I spent worthless, o and there was no way to beat the guy with the rocket launcher unless I had thousands of health, or a cheat on. I will never cheat, so that is that.

A Good Game

This is a good game with excelent graphics. I think that the environments could be touched up the slightes bit though. I am disgusted at the people that think that winback is making metal gear solid quiver in its rubber soled boots. Ithink that Solid Snake makes Jean-Luc look like a boy scout. I also think that Jean-Luc is a fairy princess. Even thoght I would never be in his position Snake is a better overall charachter. Eny one who is praising Winbak should take a peek at the Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty demo included in Zone of the Enders. I think that some of the more realistic elements make for bad game play like the ablity to hlod only a few clips at a time. Even tough my reveiw is negative twords this game try it any ways.

The Best Game Ever

When i got my PS2 this was the first game that I bought. When N64 was still in I had played the game and liked it, but you how it is, out with the old in with the new. This remake a way better look than the N64 vesion but is still the same game. The best difference is the graphics. They are really smooth and the characters move in a real way. The moths on the characters get annoying after awhile. But over all everything about the game is great. Bot mode is a new addition to the game and is really fun. You can set pu battels with your friends on your side or even a computer player against up to six bots. A plus is that you can lower or rase the bots AI in the setup. Bot mode can be hours of fun if you get bored of Story mode. This game is great, and it makes Metal Gear Solid fall to its knees and pry that Metal Gear Solid 2 will be able to beat the greatness of this game.

Great

This game is cool it is so cool being able to crouch and do all that other stuff this game has everything James bond and those others games didn't the ability to fight, ... this game you can kill lot's of guy's easier and more efficiently and being able to do this makes the game easier and more enjoyable the game takes some thinking but usually all you need is your machine gun.The movies are cool and so is multiplayeryou can also close combat fight in this game which is also cool but the funnest part is using a huge machine gun against alot of guys the only thing wrong with the game is it takes a little while to get used to and you only get a machine gun, a pistol,a silenced pistol,shotgun c4,and a rocket launcher but those gun's get the job done.

If you like 1st person shooter games you will hate this game

This is the worst shooter game I have ever played. Weapons are pathetic, movement is akward, and aiming is purely painful. When I see the name KOIE on any other game I will certainly know not to by it. Seeing the 4 star average rating on this site makes me think that most of these reviews are bogus.( Has anyone ever seen a game with a poor rating on this site? I have not. This game diffenitly deserves a zero.) It disgusts me that there are games of this crappy nature allowed on the market. Give me a break.

winback is an awsome game! First off you can hide behind crates and jump out and shoot someone. And bot mode is very fun to you can team up with your buds and shoot each other, how cool is that. well one player mode was kind of hard for me but to those of you who liked Metal gear solid you are going to love this.

Great Game, But It Doesnt Last Forever.

I was looking forward to this game since KOEI announced its remake. I used to work for a Gaming Magazine who's name will remain a mystery for certain reasons... I only have a few problems with "WinBack". #1. You must be stationary in order to shoot. Granted, thats not that bad of a problem, but it could've be helpful if you could. #2. The English voive-overs are worse then a American-translated Japanese Godzilla Movie, an they really ruin the emotionial moments of the game. #3. The Story, while good, is kinda Cheesecake. Other than that, it has been greatly improved since the N64 in many ways, and is a great Action-oriented Game. Its no Masterpiece, But with MGS2 not due til fall, it will certainly warm us up for that massive adventure.
