Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990)
Great game
Surpassed the original Metal Gear in almost every respect. The graphics were much improved and Snake got a little more personality this time round. (He also looked suspiciously like Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots 2). The stealth aspect was much more stable this time around, with none of the irritating rocket-man sequences that plagued the first installment. Familiar characters from Metal Gear turn up once again with new roles to play in the proceedings. The gameplay too takes a turn for the better. Notably the boss characters are a little more imaginative, in comparison to Metal Gear's 'man with shotgun', 'man with machine gun', and 'man with flamethrower'. The radar system is also a welcome addition, allowing you to make sure that your next screen change won't put you into the middle of five alert guards. All in all, an excellent sequel.
