I thought MGS 2 was the low point in the series.  I just don't see what people like about that game.  MGS 1 and MGS 3 were much better IMO.

It scored 9.6/10 and sold incredibly. It was one of the major reasons so many bought their PS2.

oh god no...MGS2 was overrated IMHO... Splinter Cell is underated, Dues EX underated, even KOTOR was underated with all its acolades...  MGS2, slightly above average...

MGS2 is not that great. 95% of the game is spent on that annoying Strut complex. All the rooms are the same... boring. MGS3 was extremely overrated and was like a step back in time with not having a radar, and not being able to see enemies but them being able to see you. They need to change the camera angle in the MGS series so you can actually see enemies before you're right next to them, hopefully MGS4 will fix that. And it can't be underrated if all the mags rated it highly. Underappreciated maybe, but not underrated.

It was also bashed as one of the most disappointing games.  Partly due to having to play as the wuss, raiden, and partly due to the incredibly long noninteractive sequences.  MGS 3 was just a much better all around game.

MGS 1 was outstanding, but 2 & 3 just didn't do it for me. I played through MGS2 just wishing that whiny little sh** Raiden would just shut up.  I'm of the opinion that after the oil tanker opening in MGS2, the point where you take control of Raiden is where the series jumped the shark (to use a TV term)

First time I played through both games I liked MGS2 more. Now I like MGS3 a little more, partly because Snake > Raiden but Raiden certainly looks to be a very different person in MGSIV.

Are you kidding? That trajesty scored a full point more than MGS and MGS3, which were much better games. That is the most inflated score on GS imo.

They did fix the camera angles in MGS3: Subsistance.

MGS2 got a 9.6 and is one of the highest rated games at GR. It is not underrated. If ne of them was underrated here score wise, then it was MGS1. Subsistence is still my fav though.

LOL!!:lol:

ya you probably havent played mgs3.......

if you did youd know it takes place in the 1960s......you know? before the complex radar was invented?

and enemies only see you if your next to them, or if you dont have camoflauge
