At least MGS2 only has epic cutscenes at the beginning or end of each "chapter". That's actually bearable compared to MGS4. MGS2 is my favorite entry in the series. It certainly had the most ambitious plot (about information control, and how being a soldier in a game is nothing like being a real soldier.), the mixed reaction to which made Kojima dial it back for all of the subsequent games. It also has incredible production values, being one of the best looking games on the PS2 while holding an almost-solid 60FPS. The series certainly has it's ups and downs, but on the whole I enjoy it. The worst parts are a silly science fiction-themed soap opera, but the best parts are some of the most compelling and exciting gaming I've ever experienced.
