MGS2 was the first game I got with my PS2 back in Christmas of 2001, along with FFX and DMC1. I loved the tanker chapter at the beginning, of course, the interactivity in that section was unprecedented at the time... shooting watermelons and glass bottles and watching them explode, blowing up the fire extinguisher and watching sensor lasers appear in the thick of the smoke, etc. But then, you get to the Big Shell and the environments just look so dull. Gameplay-wise, I find the majority of the game to be the weakest of the series. A lot of the "puzzles" and scenarios seem to be retreads of MGS1, like maneuvering the missile over the electric floor, or just plain boring, like shooting the hidden C4 packets. But the story, I couldn't stop playing, I think the whole Arsenal Gear scene up till the end of the game was the most disturbing and confusing part in all of gaming's history. "I NEED SCISSORS! 61!". Is there anywhere we can see what was cut out between the Ray battle and the Solidus battle, where the Arsenal Gear crashes along the coast of NYC and into Federal Hall?
Oh yeah here's a question about the whole MGS series: WTF does "Kuwabara Kuwabara" mean?
