The full recap of the second Metal Gear Solid:
Part 1 starts off 2 years after the Shadow Moses incident and Solid Snake again chases down a new type of Metal Gear Ray on a tanker.
In part 2 Snake has the photographic evidence of the incident. But he couldn’t prevent Ocelot (Liquid) from taking over the tanker and the Metal Gear Rex.
Part 3 takes place 2 years after the tanker incident. A new one man army “Raiden” infiltrates a decontamination facility called “Big Shell” and he then meets a man who calls himself Iroquois Plisken. Ofcourse we all know who he is…
In part 4 after seeing the fire from hell by the Queen Fortune, you meet a bomb expert Peter Stillman, who will teach you how to disarm C4.
In part 5 a lot will happen and you’ll meet a few bosses, but the first priority is still to save the President by disguising yourself.
In part 6 after talking to Ames, Raiden gets out of the hostage room and faces Solidus Snake!
In part 7 Raiden finally finds the president and gains lots of information on what’s going on.
In part 8 Raiden has to fight that blood sucking Vamp.
Part 9 is about Emma and Hal (Otacon) finally meeting. Raiden is captured (naked) and as he starts to learn about the S3 project everything goes weird…
In part 10 everything is still weird! Raiden finally get his gear from Snake. Snake faces Fortune and Raiden has to take down 25 Metal Gear Ray units but then…
Part 11 is the final stage of the story. Arsenal is heading to Manhattan for a reason.
Part 12 is the ending of the game! Make sure to wait until after the credits to listen to Solid Snake and Otacon talk.
