Metal Gear Solid 2 - Sons of Liberty (PS2) Reviews

Metal Gear Solid 2 is (predictably, given the name) the sequel to Metal Gear Solid, and the first outing for Solid Snake on the PS2.

This stage kind of acts as a ...  Read the complete review

Without a doubt the most divisive of the Metal Gear Solid games, Sons of Liberty was the series jump onto the PS2, delivering a game with unrivalled graphics, and a rather strange twist that nobody really saw coming.

MGS2 Sons of Liberty - well this game came under so much hype after the brilliant MGS on the PS1, and I have to say it no way lived up to the hype surrounding it.

I recently made the misfortune of buying Mr Hideo Kajima's new movie on DVD. Apart from the fact that this new film, Sons of Liberty I believe its called, cost about twice as much as your usual film, it also contained some very odd quirks that I would now like to relate to you. To begin with, the DVD menu was most odd and bombarded ...  Read the complete review
