Heh. Nah.

MGS2 is visually extremely impressive, the engine makes pretty much all other game engines look like amateur-work. The cut-scenes are well done as well, and the controls are decent as per usual.

However, there are far too many cut-scenes compared to the amount of actual PLAYING you do. 5 hours into the game and about 2, maybe 2,5 of 'm are actual gamePLAY.

Furthermore, the game is way too short.

Any "great game of all time" should last longer than a few hours of gameplay. A game doesn't deserve the title "one of the greatest games of all time" if people buy it and finish it the very same day. You need more than just great graphics, music, story and controls for that title. You need durability, length, replayability. MGS2 lacks that too much, unfortunately, cos I gotta say, it's a great experience to play it. Very nice, and I like it a lot, too.
