Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake/YMMV


 * Awesome Music: See here.
 * Even Better Sequel: Or Surprisingly Improved Sequel for those who weren't impressed by Metal Gear. This game features a more complex plot, better graphics, the introduction of the radar, the ability to crawl, enhanced guard AI, and tons of little details. The improvement is so vast that first time players have been stunned by the opening credits sequence.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: A bit of a stretch, but in Metal Gear 2, there were tanks in the hangar (and originally planned to be fought against) that were referred to as Goliaths. The next medium to use the name Goliath in regards to a Main Battle Tank is the TV Drama/TV adaptation "Kings".
 * Big Boss's comment about soldiers being dead weight out of the battlefield becomes somewhat hilarious after watching the Mega64 trailer on Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, where Raiden bombed at absolutely every single job his unemployment adviser offered him up until getting a job as a cybernetic private military contractor. It also goes int a bit of Harsher in Hindsight, as the unemployment manager when first meeting Raiden mentions attributes to Raiden's 4 year unemployment to being the result of an implied terrible economy (at the time the trailer was released, the American economy, not to mention most of the world wide economy, especially the European economy, was undergoing a severe economic crisis).
 * Older Than They Think: A lot of Metal Gear Solid came from this game.
