The story consists of two chapters, the Tanker and the Plant, the previous being released as a demo with another Kojima game, Zone of the Enders. This sequel contained vastly superior visuals and gameplay along with highly interactive scenery as compared to its predecessor. Released in late 2001 originally on the PlayStation 2 console, Metal Gear Solid 2 is a continuation of the storyline of famous stealthy super soldier Solid Snake. It’s truly unfortunate that despite the legacy that MGS 2 would leave behind, it seems that no one has been able to truly top the mad genius on offer from director Hideo Kojima. If 1998’s Metal Gear Solid was the pioneer of the cinematic game, then its sequel, 2001’s Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty showed the world what could be done with stories in games. The Metal Gear series of games has the reputation for being a driving force behind video games adopting more “cinematic” storytelling. Snake begins his infiltration in the “Tanker Chapter.”
