I absolutely love this game. I got it on the XBOX the day it was released. (didn't have a PS2) The PC version is just as good, if not better. The game play is great, especially if you have a Gamepad. I used my 360 controller, because the keyboard controls are kind of wonky. The graphics are still great. No real-time lighting, but the textures are crisper and cleaner than their console counterparts. The sound is well done, with a fantastic soundtrack and crisp effects. For the price, this is a must own for every Metal Gear fan. There are dozens of hours of gaming goodness to be had here.

Just what I ordered!

Just what I ordered! I had trouble when I first started the game because the character in the first cut scene was a white silhouette. I adjusted some video settings and everything worked out fine.

Classic Gameplay

I originally played MGS on the PS1 when it first came out and was impressed by the massive cut scenes, great plot and intuitive (to me at least) controls. Feeling a bit nostalgic, I decided to get MGS2 for my PC. I wasn't disappointed. It was great to return to MGS and I found I enjoyed this version of the game as much as the first. While the cut scenes and graphics don't stack up against more modern games, such as Splinter Cell 4, I still found myself thoroughly absorbed in the gameplay.

Good effort Konami!

Sound fixes...

If you have staticy/glitchy sound in MGS2S for the PC:
1. Install the latest patch. (As above!)
2. Go to "Sound" in Control Panel.
3. Click the "Advanced" button in the "Speaker settings" box.
4. Click the "Performance" tab.
5. Lower your "Hardware acceleration" slider by one notch.
6. Try the game and it should sound fine now!
7. If you still have problems, try lowering it more.

The good and bad of MGS2 substance

The game was very cool. Raiden, I thought, was just a pretty boy, but as I played as him, it seemed I pegged him a bit wrong. The problem is that there is too many cut scenes.
"Raiden, stop it!
"Raiden, stay cool!
"Raiden, call back
"I'm PREGNANT!!!"
IT DRIVES ME NUTS!

The game itself is very good, but the controls are horrible unlesss oyu have a controller that's like a PS2 Controller or a PS2 controller with an adaptoid.

Pros:
Good story line. Extra features will keep you busy for a long time.

Cons:
Keyboard controls are useless. takes up 7.9 GB (7.9!!! GB!) luckily, it can be installed for just for 3.6 or so GB.

Overall, I give it 4 stars.

Quick and fast

I have tried installing this game on 3 different machines with 3 different graphical setups. No luck at all because im only C-in black. I played the old ps1 game for day's on end and if it's anything like that it will be awesome....But i guess i will never know...........

This is the most disappointing PC gaming purchase I've ever made. This is not to say the actual MGS2 game (i.e. for the PS2) is worthless. My problems happen to be PC specific. For one, the controls are the worst I've seen since the invention of video games. It would have been nice if Konami included an easier interface, such as clicking the action you wish to edit, and pressing the button you wish to control that action, instead of that keyboard layout hunk of junk. That keyboard layout is completely worthless. For example, it lists "Button 6XYZP29H" instead of "Shoot" or "Crouch." What good is that? My other complaint is that there's no option to invert the y-axis. This is insane as many gamers, including me of course, cannot play with standard y-axis movement, especially in FPS type games. To further emphasize my anger with this horrific port, I just recently formatted my hard drive and didn't bother to install the game back. If a patch comes out to fix these issues, I will reinstall the game. Furthermore, the sound is full of static and garbled, making the game unplayable from the annoyance. I can barely hear any of the cinematic video clips. I don't have to "turn off hardware acceleration" in any other game to get normal quality sound. And it isn't my machine, it's a bug. I have an Asus A7N266-C, Athlon XP 1800+, 512 MB DDR, and an MSI GF4 Ti 4400. The onboard sound of the nForce chip is supposed to be great, so that's not the problem. Konami = lazy. If these issues don't bother you, the game gets a 5/5, but personally I can't play the game in its current state.

yeah

if your the Xenosaga type and can stand long times when they won't shut up then this is for you. If you can't stand them talking then you will be screwing yourself. I think it's a great game. So many added features. but they just won't shut up. Anyways I give it a 5 out of 5

[darn it] raiden why do you have to look like a girl?
