MGS2 Extra Modes in Japanese Version!
 
I got my February issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly and there was this section on MGS2 strategy in the back. Along with the strategy, there was this section that talked about the cool EXTRA MODES in the Japanese version of the game, that we never got! This is what they got:
CASTING THEATER: Watch any of a handful of cinemas over again, only this time you can swap in and out different characters. Have Ocelot resuce Snake from Vamp and Raiden face Olga on the tanker. You can even use the old MGS1 models of Snake and Ocelot as actors. Cool!
BOSS SURVIVAL: Thought MGS2's bosses were pretty easy? Actually, so did we. But try this new mode: You fight all the bosses in a row, without all those rations to fall back on. See if you can beat your best time.

Doesn't that sound AWESOME?!! Using the MGS1 models in MGS2 would be great to see! I've got the Japanese version of MGS2 but I haven't tried to play it yet. I wonder if you'll have to beat the game once in order to open up the modes? :confused:

Uchiha Sasuke Jan 27th, 2002 11:25 PM

Not fair i want thos modes.I am so mad:mad:

MakgSnake Jan 27th, 2002 11:46 PM

Same Here!
 
Soon I Am Getting A PS2, And I Know I Will Buy That Jap Version Too!.! But Meryl.....Did U Buy The Jap Version From Ebay?.? Cause U Usually Have All These Stuff That Never End Up In States!.!

And Yeah I Am Also MAD!.!
:mad:

But Thanks Alot For Letting Us Know!

BowevelJoe Jan 28th, 2002 08:14 AM

haha makg your going to have 4 copies of MGS2 from diff countries hahahaha

Ill see if i can pop a copy imported, but ill need a MOD CUBE to play it, but they only cost $20 and you dont have to wire it in, just pop it into the back :)

GaseousSnake Jan 28th, 2002 09:50 AM

Cool new features:cool:

Spirit Jan 28th, 2002 09:52 AM

hmmm intersting features but I doubt I'll ever play mgs2 any time soon, I beat it over 10 times, then got bored at fighting 25 metal gears near the end of extreme, and stopped playing, but I did get all the dogtags :D

Neo_Soldier28 Jan 28th, 2002 09:54 AM

That sucks that we don't get them but thats what you get when your the first to get stuff. But we did get to expierence it first and i loved every minute of it!!!!!

merylsilverburg Jan 29th, 2002 07:18 PM

Actually, MakgSnake, the Japanese version that I got was the one that came with the MGS2 Premium Package. So, I didn't have to get another from Ebay. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to try it out just yet to see those new modes.

merylsilverburg Jan 29th, 2002 09:12 PM

That's cool about the MGS2 calender! By the way, what are the 4 different MGS1 games you got? Are they from USA, Japan, and Europe?

MakgSnake Jan 29th, 2002 09:30 PM

Sure!

Well, First I Bought The US NTSC Version, Then I Got The Japan NTSC Version, Then I Bought The PAL Version (Came With The Limited Edition Box Made In UK) And Then I Bought The US NTSC Version Again!.! Just For Safety.!. And Then I Bought The PC Version Of MGS. So....I Have 5 MGS1! :D

merylsilverburg Jan 29th, 2002 09:48 PM

WHOA!
 
WOW! That's amazing! :eek: You really ARE a MGS/MGS2 Fan!! That's really cool! I really want that Limited Edition Box from the UK! :( Oh well! :D

Man Uve Got The MGS2 Limited Edition Box, Thats The Best Thing EVER!.!.!.!.!.!....Inshallah I'll Get My Hands On It Too!.! I Have A Feeling I Will....Lets Hope I Get The Money From Somewhere (My Dad's Room Hahaha) :D

merylsilverburg Jan 30th, 2002 07:36 PM

Man!
 
I actually found the time to try out the Japanese version of MGS2 to see those modes......but......it wasn't there!!! I guess you'll have to play through the game once in order to get them? Playing through, I actually like the American voices for the characters instead of the Japanese. I dunno....I guess I'm just used to David Hayter's voice! It fits so well! :D By the way, good luck on finding the Limited Box Set, MakgSnake! I hope everyone can try to get their hands on it! It's something that no MGS/MGS2 fan should be without! :)

Uchiha Sasuke Jan 30th, 2002 10:44 PM

Im a hardcore fan of the series but im not going to go all out like some of you and buy all the versions just to say that i have them.I agree that the special editions might be nice but still there not going to reveal anymore of the story,it will just be som extra modes thrown in and i think its not worth going through all that trouble getting the mod chip and the special edition.Waste of good money thats what i say.

MakgSnake Jan 30th, 2002 11:54 PM

Agh!

Uchiha Sasuke Jan 31st, 2002 08:38 AM

Well all im saying is that if some of the versions are the same why go out and buy another one and have to pay the extra costs for a mod chip

Cannibal Clown Jan 31st, 2002 08:39 AM

You're all wasting your money buying the same thing more a higher price. What's the need? Really.

Neo_Soldier28 Jan 31st, 2002 09:41 AM

Hey Cannible reread the posts it would all be for some more features thats the whole reason

GaseousSnake Jan 31st, 2002 01:39 PM

The added xtra features r worth the dough,and u even get to make your ps2 a multi system console.

MakgSnake Jan 31st, 2002 02:25 PM

Ahem!

merylsilverburg Jan 31st, 2002 02:31 PM

I see what you mean....
 
I know what some of you mean when you're talking about wasting money to get another game just to have extra features, but sometimes, you just gotta have it if you're a fan! And besides....how cool would it be to see MGS2's Snake take MGS1's Snake hostage?! That scene was in one of the pictures from the Electronic Gaming Monthly and seeing that, I went,"Wowwwwwww!" :D I'm a dork, I know....:rolleyes:

MakgSnake Jan 31st, 2002 02:39 PM

GaseousSnake Mar 2nd, 2002 01:17 PM

Do u mean that the added features r a waste of time SSnake,u must be joking.

Uchiha Sasuke Mar 2nd, 2002 01:41 PM

No im just not going to spend 100 some bucks to play 2 or 3 more modes

Dark Angel Mar 2nd, 2002 04:12 PM

what's in the limited edition pal mgs one? and the mgs2 one aswell? is there something really different? and i never heard of a limited edition in the uk

Uchiha Sasuke Mar 2nd, 2002 04:29 PM

You just get a lot of extras in the Uk and japanese versions thats all.Like artwork.Comentary.Extra modes etc

Dark Angel Mar 2nd, 2002 04:37 PM

where'd you get it from?

Uchiha Sasuke Mar 2nd, 2002 04:40 PM

I didnt get it i just know what i comes with.You could prolly pre order it on the net if you want it

Dark Angel Mar 2nd, 2002 04:47 PM

i meant the mgs one, and i've preordered mgs2 does anything come with that? aside from the dvd

Uchiha Sasuke Mar 2nd, 2002 04:51 PM

Mgs 1 special addition.Hmm i know its around but i dont know where you can find it.As for the special addition for mgs2 it comes with this
1.special dvd case
2.72 page page book of artwork called mg chronicle
3.100 minute dvd documentary of the making of the game
4.Solid snake figurine

SilverJackel May 17th, 2002 04:36 AM

hey, i'm from the uk and i got MGS2 a couple of days ago. i don't think i've got a special edition or anything, but i unlocked the cinema mode and boss survival modes by finnishing the game. plus i got this 'the making of' dvd, which is cool. just thought i'd let you guys know before you spent £100 on something i got for 30. btw, any of you know which marines have the dogtags in hold 1 & 3. I heard if you get 'em all you can get another stealth suit.

Esjay May 25th, 2002 10:49 AM

This wasn't a very fair move, this is like...ah,

let's say a company makes a car in the US. You spend your hard earned money on it, and you know, you cruise around a little bit, and enjoy all of the cool stuff that your new car has, and then, that same company makes the EXACT same car in the UK, except it has a DVD player, a PS2 built into the car itself, a leather-interior, and a navigational system, availible for the exact same price that you paid for your own car!! And the worst part is, that other car with extra features is UK exclusive!! So you'll NEVER get to drive that awesome car

that's how I look at it anyway, I hope what I said made sense to you all o.O aside from boss survival and casting theatre, the only other extra feature that I know of in the PAL MGS2 is that you can get a suppressor on Snake's Tanker mission

I think the extra stuff added in to the Japanese version was only because MGS2 was released in the US first instead of Japan. I think they felt bad for the Japanese, since...well....MGS is originally a Japanese game. :)

Esjay May 25th, 2002 06:58 PM

yeah that's true Meryl, but I mean, they almost ALWAYS get games before anyone else does (Devil May Cry and FFX to name a few) it was nice to finally be the first to play an AWESOME and highly anticipated game, you know?

Exactly. Which is probably why they felt bad. MGS2 didn't actually come out first in Japan like normal....many Japanese were disappointed by this. *Even if they were, the MGS series didn't really do so well in Japan unlike the US, so I really don't see what they were grumbling about*
