You've heard plenty of good things about this game already, so here are the bad. I hate the very tedious Fatman level!!! Final battle sucks! Could have used a female playable character instead of Raiden. I've been replaying this game for a long time now, and I still hate the Fatmal level!!!

satisfied

This is more like the conclusion of mgs 2:sons of liberty.what i mean by that is its pretty much the hole story with alot of extras but if you already have the original copy then yes this still worth buying but i might suggest selling the original.Unless you like colect or somethin like that but this is a great add to the series.

Not what I was expecting

It's the same thing as MGS2 with the exception of Snake Tails(which the levels look like a training sessions). There's no new plot.

Better than Splitter Cell

Theres more things to do in Substance that Sons of Liberty. Theres about 500 VR missions and alternate missions and some old characters from part one like meryl and the old solid snake. Theres even a skate board game to play with Raiden or Solid Snake. The game contains the orginal Sons of Liberty game inside. I would recommend this for any Metal Gear fan and at a low price about ten dollars off.

Excellent tactical action.

For those of you who havent played MGS2 yet, or have, and beat the game, there's no better time to get MGS2 Substance, which is a must have for any MGS2 fan. It features tons of new missions, an okay skateboarding mode, and a whole lot more. While the high price tag is a little questionable, players who truly appreciate the game will have gotten their moneys worth.

Excellent Game

This game is amazing. The story of Metal Gear games are always excellent at keeping you interested throughout the game. The game is different, however, than the other Metal Gear games. Most of the game is played with another charachter. Not Snake. Though this charachter is pretty cool also, he isn't the same as Solid Snake. I recomend you get this game. Even when you have beaten it, there are bonous things you can get in the game. Like stelth camo, infinte ammo, and more.

SPlinter Cell and MGS2, nothing alike

Reading reviews of both MGS2 and Splinter Cell, I see that a lot of people compare them and they say that Splinter Cell will kill off MGS2, this is like saying that Red Faction 2 will kill off GTA: Vice City. MGS2 and SC are really nothing alike, SC is more realistic, with it's dynamic lighting and situations whereas MGS2 is a mix of fantasy and reality with the situations and the characters like Vamp and Fortune. these two games are really nothing alike, with that out of the way, ON TO THE REVIEW.

Unlike most video games, this game has an actual story, but stories in other games are usually paper-thin with characters that feel unrealistsic whereas this game has a story that is so complex, it risks losing the player behind and the characters are TOO realistic, and it gets annoying. When you save a game in the Plant Chapter, you have to listen to a long conversation between Jack and Rose that isn't worth listening too, and YES, the names really are Jack and Rose (TITANIC reference)

The gameplay is excellent with perfect AI and easy controls to master and the graphics are great.

NOW, those of you who have SONS OF LIBERTY might be wondering if you should get this in addition to SONS OF LIBERTY, my advice is don't get this if you have SOL, but if you don't have SOL, get this.

Best game to date

This game has the BEST cg than any other games. It also has the BEST gameplay for which there are ACTIONS that are obvious and the game do it for you so you won't have to complicate yourself like hiding bodies in lockers (not like SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs).
