The return of Snake The government-trained specialist Solid Snake returns as the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2, and from all the footage shown, it's evident that Snake looks and moves more realistically than his younger self. He bolts through high-risk areas, dives out of range of enemy fire, lies in ambush around corners, shimmies across catwalks, and more. ut Snake's done most of that already in Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation - as such, it's not that Metal Gear Solid 2 seems like it'll have a radically different concept than its predecessor.
Instead, even as Metal Gear Solid helped set new standards for cinematic quality in games, so too does the sequel stand poised to pioneer a change in the expectations for quality of game graphics and gameplay realism. Solid Snake himself looks extremely realistic in the sequel, and the game's environment is equally impressive.
