Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is an action-adventure
[1] stealth game[2] developed and published by Konami[3]
for the PlayStation 2[4] in 2001. It is the fourth Metal
Gear game[5] written and directed by Hideo Kojima[6] and
serves as the direct sequel to the original Metal Gear
Solid[7]. An expanded edition, titled Metal Gear Solid 2:
Substance, was released the following year for Xbox[8]
and Microsoft Windows[9] in addition to the PlayStation 2.
The story revolves around the "Big Shell", a massive
offshore
clean-up facility that has been seized by a group of
terrorists who call
themselves the "Sons of Liberty". They demand a massive
ransom in
exchange for the life of the President of the United
States and threaten
to destroy the facility and create a cataclysmic
environmental disaster
if their demands are not met. The motives and identities
of many of the
antagonists and allies change throughout the course of
the game, as the
protagonists discover a world-shaking conspiracy
constructed by a
powerful organization known as the Patriots.
While the game received acclaim for its gameplay,
graphics, and its
attention to detail, critics were initially divided on
the protagonist
and the philosophical nature and execution of the game's
storyline,
which explores themes such as memetics[10], social
engineering[11], political conspiracies[12], censorship
[13], artificial intelligence[14], existentialism[15],
postmodernism[16] and post-truth politics[17]. The game's
reputation has improved over time and it is considered to
be one of the greatest video games ever made[18], as well
as a primary example of artistic expression in video games
[19]. The game has sold over 7 million copies worldwide
and scored an average Metacritic[20] aggregate score of
96%, making it one of the highest-rated games of all time.
