[edit] Differences between versions

The game was first released on the Microsoft Xbox and later the Sony Playstation 2, both with some differences.

The PAL release came with a second disk, The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2.

[edit] Missions

These objective-based missions are divided up into alternative missions where the action takes place in the environments from the game and VR training.

The different mission types are:

• Photo mode - you have to take a picture of some object.
• Bomb Disposal mode - find all the bombs on the level and disarm them. (alternative only)
• Weapon mode - training mode that teaches you how to use each of the weapons. (VR only)
• Sneaking mode - get from your starting point to the end without an alert occuring.
• Eliminate all - kill all guards on the level without causing an alert.
• Holdup mode - The aim is hold up all the guards.
• Variety mode - could be anything.

[edit] Snakes Tales

Due to some fans dislike of Raiden, a series of stories were created involving Snake in the Big Shell environments. The missions are described using screens of text instead of the usual codec as no voiceovers were recorded* for these missions.

• Snake Tale A: A Wrongdoing
• Snake Tale B: Big Shell Evil
• Snake Tale C: Confidential Legacy
• Snake Tale D: Dead Man's Whisper
• Snake Tale D: External Gazer

Unless you count Snake's voice samples from Snake Tales A and D (Snake interrogates prisoners with the D-Mic and gets electrocuted by the electric floor.*

[edit] Boss Survival

Players fight all the bosses in sequence as either Snake or Raiden.

[edit] Skateboarding

If you ever saw the railing on the Big Shell and thought that it would be much easier to railslide down them then this extra is for you. Play as Snake or Raiden in a Tony Hawk style game around the Big Shell. This mode is only available in the US/EU PS2 version of the game and is actually a demo of the PS2 game Evolution Skateboarding.

[edit] Casting Theatre

This is a mode that allows you to select different cutscenes and select different characters for each of the roles.
