This was the start of Kojima thinking he was a decent director. Only to make a huge mess of what was a great start to the franchise. The story went way out of control, and the gameplay was passable as a stealth game.
The excellence of storytelling and masterstrokes of the first. Were entirely absent from this 2nd game. It's like someone killed Kojima and made a synthetic robot of him to finish the job.
This was the downturn for the series that never recovered due to a game producer thinking he is Quintin Tarrantino.
6/10
