Well now that I have played it alot. I would like say somethings about this Xbox version of MGS2 S.

The graphics looks really nice, not any different then PS2 version. But yeah the slow downs..... heavy slow downs I experience when I was outside in the rain. Made me angry.

Selecting weapons and equipment can be sometime hard, as there is no L1 and L2 on the Xbox controller, but slightly touching the Left and Right Trigger (And I mean REALLY slightly) equips and unequips weapons and stuff. Which most of the times is confusing.

One of the really shocking things were that the GAME SLOWS DOWN not only in actual gameplay but at the CUT SCENES too. That scene with Olga at the TANKER, there were slow downs as well. Which really disturbed me for few seconds. Other then that its alright.

The THERMO GOGLES's VISIONS is horrible in my opinion. I dont know what was Kojima thinking. Its just crazy. I Didn't like it, I know many people would think its cool (Splinter Cell Style) but I just got disgusted.

One thing I really liked about the controlls is switching towards FirstPersonMode.... just by clicking the LEFT ANALOG STICK, Snake/Raiden goes into first person mode and stays that way, even if you leave your hand from the Stick. Which I think was cool.

Neways..... now the VR/Alternative Missions and Snake Tales.

Most of the Alternative missions are fun and well hard at the beginning but then becomes easy and sweet, which is good. Gives you a good challenge. So far, the Alternative missions I have played are good, and really really fun.

VR MISSIONS: I dont know, everything seemed so nice in these missions, but that showing of Solid Snake or Raiden in a RED BOX TYPE OF THING is something I dont like. Why did Kojima put that effect in the game. It looks like an error to me, I know it isn't, but still. Neways, all the VR missions I have played are really nice and fun.

SNAKE TALES: Nah, didn't like from the start..... just couldn't stand the reading........which I have never done in an MGS game since 1998. Oh well....... still think the TEXT idea is worst part of Substance (after the slow downs).....

I'll play more of it and mention few more things as well. I love the game, I mean its Metal Gear Solid after all. Still....
