Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (commonly abbreviated MGS2) is a stealth-based game that was developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. Directed by Hideo Kojima, it is the fourth game in the Metal Gear series and the sequel to the critical and consumer success Metal Gear Solid. Its release was followed by Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Following a strategy used to promote the original Metal Gear Solid in 1998, a movie-like trailer for the game was shown at E3, in 2000. Critics praised the game's level of graphical detail, in particular the use of in-game graphics to render plot-driving cut scenes. The gameplay is similar to that of Metal Gear Solid. New features, however, allow players to use first-person view to aim weapons, and to tranquilize enemies instead of killing them.
As a result of the promising trailer, and because the original MGS was so highly regarded, there was a high level of anticipation surrounding MGS2's release.
