Introduction

(From the official website)

Since the incident on Shadow Moses Island, Metal Gear's top-secret technology has been leaked into the black market through the machinations of Revolver Ocelot. As a result, countless variations of Metal Gears have sprung up in every corner of the globe, making the weapon an increasingly common component of the armed forces of nuclear powers. In the midst of all of this, Solid Snake, now a member of the anti-Metal Gear group "Philanthropy," has learned that a new prototype Metal Gear has been developed by the U.S. Marines and is being transported in secret to an unknown destination. To learn more about this new machine, Snake must infiltrate the transport, disguised as a tanker, as it makes its way down the Hudson River. Just as Snake is about to begin his mission, however, the ship is seized by a mysterious and well-armed group bent on stealing the new Metal Gear for their own, nefarious purposes.

The Review by Vegepunk

You must play this game. The visuals are almost perfect, there aren't any frame delays or glitches, and the graphics are perfectly smooth. The mouths move to the voices perfectly. The gameplay system is great, you sneak around with a wide variety of weapons like handguns, automatics, sniper rifles, and missle launchers. But the weapons aren't the heart of the game. You sneak behind gaurds, trying not to be discovered and avoiding fights at all times. There are objectives where you have to defuse bombs, take out aircrafts and gun down enemies. This game is very tactical and takes strategy. It's sort-of strategy mixed with action. There will be new methods that weren't in the first Metal Gear Solid, such as summersaults, hanging from ledges, using disguises, and a new weapon, the HF Blade. The HF Blade is the blade that the Cyborg Ninja uses. Characters will also be returning, like Revolver Ocelot and the Cyborg Ninja. No one can turn this game down.
