    Mejor que el primero pero no mucho mas. Si bien la jugabilidad, los gráficos y la historia son mejores que el primer juego, tampoco es decir tanto. La música es peor y poco notoria y los controles y la IA siguen siendo frustrantes sobre todo a la hora de combatir.

    Although the PS2 game comes some three months after the Xbox release, this version is the better of the two—mostly because of its superior controls.

    If you totally enjoyed MGS2, this definitive version is certainly worth a look, delivering all of the extras and the original game in one package.

    Given that Snake is the ultimate videogame stud, it's great to work through some new objectives with his gritty new perspective. [Apr 2003, p.87]
