Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

February 6, 2021

I remember seeing this game at Target when I was twelve and having no idea what it was. I just knew that it looked like James Bond: The Video Game based on the box, and as a fan of the films and games I had to have it. If you had asked me that day what my favorite game of all time was I might have said something like ATV Off Road Fury. MGS2 showed me all sorts of wacky shit in the best way possible. Revolver Ocelot seemed extremely bad-ass to me at the time, and characters like Fatman had just the right amount of childish humor to keep me engaged even if the larger strokes of the game were likely going over my head. I was an idiot then--I am an idiot now--but even this idiot can appreciate that Sons of Liberty is an all-timer.
