"That's an argument that will go on long after I've passed my judgment, though. The fact of the matter is that Metal Gear Solid 2 is more than just a story, more than just a movie. It's a game, and one of the best ever made. If it isn't the best story ever told, well, the games industry obviously just has a ways to go in that regard. I sincerely wonder, however, after playing something like this, how much head room there is to make a better game experience. I mean, hell, Miyamoto's busy playing with ants in his garden, and Kojima's probably off on a year's vacation after this one.
Not that he doesn't deserve it, and the entire rest of the team besides. That's perhaps the saddest thing about seeing this game come and go, after a year and a half of buildup. Some of the best creators in the business will be going home once it's over, not to be seen for more than a few game shows. Hideo Kojima, my favorite director. Yoji Shinkawa, my favorite game artist. Motosada Mori, my favorite God King Gun Otaku (which I mean, incidentally, in the most respectful manner possible, for I love the guns in this game, from M9 to P90 and all their brothers in between). Everyone else at Konami JPN West. Heck, the next E3, I'll probably miss the chance to lose Kojima's autograph for a third year running.
Oh, well. For the time being, it's worth it for the chance to play this game, and to play it again some more. Play it just once and you're cheating yourself of more than the purchase price (or a rental fee, for you cheap bastards). You're cheating yourself of a great experience, and perhaps the best on PlayStation 2, if it weren't for the fact that we'll probably see another Metal Gear adventure before this generation concludes. We have something to look forward to, then, as well as something to enjoy today."
