Introduction



Metal Gear Solid 2 is a weird game. Metal Gear is usually weird, but this is the strangest of them all. You might start to worry when you can't make sense of the game anymore, but don't! It all makes sense in the end. Or not. Maybe? We'll just have to wait and see.

This LP goes through Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, a re-release of MGS2: Sons of Liberty that contains a shitload of VR Missions, alternate storylines, skateboarding and more. This LP will also be showing of The Document of MGS2, a making-of DVD that is stuffed full of neat stuff, including a lot of stuff that was cut out from the final verison of the game. MGS2 is a good game but it is not the best game because you cannot throw snakes at the faces of guys and they won't wrassle with 'em. Also the cutscenes interrupt you way more than in MGS3 and it's annoying.

General Ironicus is doing his own screenshot LP of the wonderful You Testament game over here. Check it out because failing to do so is letting our lord and savior Goku down.

For people new to Metal Gear who may have watched our MGS3 LP, the Snake in this game is not the one from MGS3. MGS3 is the first game in the series, chronologically. In fact, here is a timeline of the Metal Gear series up to MGS2 with links to LPs of each of them!
