Summary: Worth it
Review: I suppose they created this guide knowing that the vast majority of players would be like me: A PS2 owner who bought the original MGS2 back in November 2001, almost a year and a half before MGS2 Substance was released for the PS2. I don't need a guide for the original game, I've already played that many many times and I could probably write my own guide if I had to. All I want is info on Substance's VR missions and bonus content, which is exactly what this book contains.

Summary: Not worth fifteen dollars for
Review: Sure you COULD pick up this guide, but why would you want to? They cover all the VR missions and Snake tails and all the bonus stuff that MGS2 substance has to offer but that's all you get from this guide. Should you buy MGS2 substance on PS2 and you've never played the original SOL package and you want help for the main storyline you'd have to go out and buy TWO guides if its the PS2 version you're getting. That is, if you want the full walkthrough for the adventure. Otherwise you'll have to go and purchase the Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Official Strategy Guide. Yeah, this guide covers all the extras in a nice easy to read way, but if you went through the story of the original MGS2 and you're looking for a guide to that, you'll end up purchasing two guides. My solution to this, go out and buy the XBOX version of this guide. Its the exact same AND it covers the whole story mode walkthrough. That way you'll only spend fifteen dollars rather than blowing off thirty.
