I don't even own a PS2, but I am curious -- are you going to buy MGS3? I've heard only great things about the first two. This one looked solid (ha ha) at 2004 E3.
I guess Splinter Cell spoiled me with 3rd person view... I got tired of Resident Evil days. However if it get some good reviews I might pick it up for 20$!
I''m not going to. The first game was very good, the second game sucked, and I have no interest in the third. If you haven''t played any of them, get a GC and a copy of Twin Snakes. Cost less than a PS2 and you''ll play the best MGS.
For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. ~Ron Shelton, Bull Durham, 1988
Not very interested. Loved the first MGS, but the second one damaged my interest sharply.
Plus, Splinter Cell took that gameplay style and really ran with it. MGS established the bar, but since then, it''s pretty much been all Splinter Cell.
Maybe if MGS3 adds something new to the mix, and doesn''t have an idiotic storyline that makes me feel stupider for having witnessed it...... then just maybe, I''ll pick it up.

I most definetly will. I was probably one of the few people who actually understood (and loved) the plot of two. Doesn''t help though that I completly forgot everything due to my horrible memory.
I''ll probably pick it up once the price comes down. I liked the first one, enjoyed about the first two-thirds of the second one (I got it, I just didn''t care for the direction it took the series). Depends on the reviews though....

No ...and with Splinter 2 online and 3 coming soon...why would I?
I perfer MGS to the Splinter Cell games for two different reasons. Splinter Cell does a better job with the stealth gameplay but MGS has a better narrative.

Interesting. Personally, I''ll take Splinter Cell''s geopolitics over whatever the hell MGS2 was any day.
The one thing that hurts MGS for me more than anything else is the inane story. I''d like the game twice as much if it was half as ridiculous.

If i''ve got an extra $50 lying around come January or Febuary, I might give it a shot. If the word on the street is good enough, I might get it sooner, but I won''t be waiting in line for this one.

Passing on this one for a while. The first one was pretty good, I hated the stupid camera system in it though. The second one sure looked pretty, but the story was really stupid, the characters were annoying, and I got sick of watching movies and sometimes playing.
I played the first to death, I''ve had my hands on Splinter Cell and the second MGS title since then so the answer is no. I''ve had my fill of sneaking for a while and my Resident Evil bouts aren''t making the 3rd person genre all that fascinating to me at the moment.
It will go down in price soon enough, I have other titles to invest my cash and time in to until then.

I always approach the MGS series like I did with Read or Die and R.O.D. TV. Super out of control story with crazy ass characters and situation. Hell the TGS MGS3 trailer from this year just SCREAMED Read or Die without a doubt.

2. Metal Gear
A nuclear-equipped walking battle tank also equipped with state-of-the-art conventional weaponry such as missiles, heavy machine guns, and lasers. It''s main selling point was its ability to launch a variety of nuclear warheads toward anywhere on Earth from any location. It had the ability to more independently and instead of using a standard nuclear launch module, it was equipped with a weapon, which allowed it to launch a nuclear weapon with no external support. Since it could operate from regions, which were up to that point not on the world''s nuclear strategy map, it was a weapon that destroyed the sensitive balance of nuclear deterrence and represented an enormous threat to the entire world.

Nah, won''t get it. I am still scarred from the whole naked Raiden, homoerotic gameplay in the second one.

Splinter Cell is a game, MGS is not much more than a semi-interactive movie.
