"The Hudson River, two years ago." Those are the opening words to one of the greatest hoodwinks in video game history. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty's many tricks were cruel to loyal PlayStation 2 fans, who had earmarked the title as a true showcase of the system's potential. With the console not long released and with few quality games to go with it, people were counting the days until the follow-up to one of the biggest PSone releases.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
It’s been 20+ years since the time that gave us Mulholland Drive and “Bootylicious”, meaning this look at the best games of 2001 is going to make some of you feel very old very quickly.
bloodmask not submiting flame articles? wow!
on topic: MGS2 is my favourite mgs along with peace walker and mgs1
it was my first MGS game and the reason why i did not care for the series after that. But it turns out MGS2 was the flop out of a series of pure awesomeness. First impressions matter lol
Still the best game I ever played, even after all these years
This game in its entirety is a masterpiece. Just on the edge of my seat for Konami to announce the HD remake.
