Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
Metal Gear Solid 2 is not just a relic of the PS2 era; it is a terrifyingly accurate diagnosis of our modern world. Back in 2001, Hideo Kojima brilliantly predicted the age of information warfare, fake news, and digital manipulation that we live in today. What was once dismissed as a controversial and experimental narrative has since become our everyday reality. The game is not long, yet it is masterfully designed for repeat playthroughs, with every session revealing deeper layers of its complex story and intricate details. It remains a meta-referential masterpiece that was decades ahead of its time, both technically and thematically. MGS2 is more than just a game; it is an unforgettable cultural artifact that resonates even more powerfully today than it did at launch.
Not a review of the source material, which is still culturally significant a quarter-century later. The Master Collection release is cash-grab slop. All of the titles included suffer from framerate loss and input lag that sets in after about an hour of game time that is unfixable except by restarting the system entirely. The fact that such a basic memory leak bug hasn't been fixed after several years speaks to Konami's basic incompetence.

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 31: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

О это же моя любимая видеоигра "Метелическая шестерня твердыня 2: сыны холдапов" А если без рофлянок, то это мегабалдежная игруля за 25 лет не кисло сохранилась, я бы даже сказал солидно, сюжет так вообще стал реальностью
this game made my snake so solid that even devil may cry
“Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies...what we've seen, heard, felt...anger, joy and sorrow...these are the things I will pass on. That's what I live for.“ Absolute masterpiece.
Öncelikle şunu bilin ki bu oyun bittiği zaman başlıyor. Şuan bu oyuna inceleme yazmakta zorlanıyorum çünkü ne oynadım lan ben her codec veya ara sahnede ağzım açık kaldı bu kadar iyi işlenebilmiş ters köşelerle dolu müthiş bir hikaye. Seriye üçüncü oyunla giriş yapmış biri olarak ilk oyunun hikayesini izleyip bu oyuna giriştim Kojima abartılıyor diye düşünüyordum taa ki bu oyunu oynayana kadar KOJİMA AZ ABARTILIYOR BU NE OĞLUM 23 yıl önceden günümüzü kusursuz öngörebilmek.. bu gün bile oynaması keyifli halde yapabilmek çok büyük iş. Oyunun kontrolleri ilk 1 2 saat kütük gelecek ama sonra alısacaksınız kesinlikle sabredin E.E kaset olayında asansöre bindiğinizde oyun çöker ise asansöre binmeden önce 1 2 dakika takılın öyle girin. Son olarakta üstüme işeyen o orospu evladı seni unutmadım
Juegazo, a pesar de la cantidad infernal de cinematicas donde se me apaga el joystick cada dos por tres. Una re poronga que el port este nesesite que de todas formas le pongas un pack de mods para que no crashee, Konami la yuta que te remil pario! La historia esta mas vigente hoy que cuando salio, increible, la saga Metal Gear es un must para cualquier gordo gamer.
Kojima’s masterpiece and one of the most important video games ever made. The game tells a massive and incredibly engaging story filled with plot twists, memorable characters and themes that are still relevant today. What makes it even more impressive is how many parallels it draws to our own reality despite being released in 2001. The gameplay, characters and soundtrack are all fantastic. Snake and Raiden are both amazing protagonists and the reason why you play as Raiden in the first place is honestly genius. It takes every aspect I loved about the first Metal Gear Solid and improves on it. The gameplay feels much more refined, incredibly satisfying and just a lot of fun to play. The writing is absolutely phenomenal. Every major character feels important and well developed and the storytelling is simply on another level. The second half of the game completely blew me away. Plot twist after plot twist left me speechless. What impresses me the most is how ahead of its time the game was. It is honestly crazy how accurately Kojima predicted and explored topics that are even more relevant today than they were back then. The message of this game is incredibly important and remains just as powerful now as it was over two decades ago. I really think everyone should play this game at least once in their life. It is not only one of the greatest games ever made but also one of the most Insanely important message that is still relevant today.
This is probably the most divisive Metal Gear Solid game (at least of the first 3) but it's always been my favourite. It just cranks the madness up to eleven as the game progresses, and it has a lot of gameplay improvements over the first one. The plot gets gloriously unhinged in a delightful way; I think it may be the maximum levels of Kojima-madness of any of the series (it's close with MGS 4). I think the game was maligned a little due to the fact you play as Raiden most of the time, but Solid Snake is still a heavy presence and Raiden is a better character self-insert as he's lost in the plot most of the time. Rose, on the other hand, is unbearable, I'll give the haters that. And as for this version, it ran well on Max Resolution mode on my potato of a computer, never crashed, and unlike the first one, all of the achievements popped on the first try when they should. It's full of solid content (I wish that was pun intended) and made it feel like it was the early 2000s again.
Вот он, великий сиквел Metal Gear Solid для Playstation 2 — с первых секунд погружаешься в самую пророческую часть франшизы Хидео Кодзимы. На релизе к техническому состоянию сборника были большие вопросы. Но сейчас, после множества патчей, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty — Master Collection Version наконец-то превратилась в тот продукт, который приятно советовать как ветеранам серии, так и новичкам, но эта часть на момент публикации отзыва в версии 2.1.0, когда остальные в 3.0.0, поэтому некоторые фиксы нужны, особенно со звуком в кат-сценах и переговорам по Кодеку. В любом случае, разработчики допилили углы, подтянули разрешение, и теперь ничто не мешает наслаждаться легендой, хоть надо было всего-то подождать 3 года (спасибо, Конами). Сюжет — 10/10: Абсолютный шедевр, который с годами стал пугающе актуальным. Если первая часть была шпионским боевиком, то сиквел — это постмодернистский триллер. Контроль информации, искусственный интеллект, цензура, эхо-камеры и манипуляция массами — в 2001 году это казалось безумной фантастикой, а сегодня выглядит как документалка. Финал вынесет вам мозг, и ради этой истории игру стоит пройти каждому, тема контроля информации, свободы, идентификации себя и "удобной" правды которую тебе навязывают хороша раскрыта и актуальна по сей день. Геймплей — 7/10: Игровой процесс шагнул далеко вперед по сравнению с первой частью (прицеливание от первого лица, перекаты, возможность повиснуть на уступе), но всё ещё ощущается как привет из ушедшей эпохи. Фиксированная камера и специфическое управление могут отпугнуть современного геймера, но к ним быстро привыкаешь. Это исторический опыт настоящего тактического шпионажа. Нюансы — 10/10: Фирменные «кодзимовские» детали возведены в абсолют. Тающие от выстрелов кубики льда, возможность разбить рацию охраннику, реакция солдат на коробку, сбор жетонов и легендарное ломание четвертой стены. В этой коллекции все эти мелочи бережно сохранены и работают именно так, как задумывалось. Итог: Да, со своими оговорками, подменой главного героя и техническим прошлым самого сборника (ну да ладно, это уже позади). Но если вы хотите прикоснуться к великой игровой истории в удобном формате и узнать, кто еще в 2001 году предсказал эпоху постправды — брать определенно стоит. Рекомендую!
