Well, MGS's story left alot of possibilities that MGS2 capitalized on. Sure it was overdone, but I liked it better than MGS's slow moving plot.
I mean, you could figure out the ending after playing a third of the way through.

Only one that I REALLY played out of these games was earth bound...and I loved the quirky cute-ness of the game....and overall oddness. So... I'll vote for that. ^_^

MGS2 was an interactive movie. And i felt pretty pissed when i found out that it was a patriots exercise. Its as if Konami were like...
Hideo Kojama: "Oh nuts! MGS2 has no twists! Oh crap! Some one think of an idea! Quick! Quick! Oh crap! Oh crap!"
Guy: "Im working on it.......hmmmm.......lets see, uh...PATRIOTS!"
Hideo Kojama: "Yes! Yes! Oh yes! Well done! Lets go! You! Put patriots in it! Make it so it was just an act!" *Checks watch* "Oh god! Just two hours till its to be finished! Oh crap! Hey you! Make Ocelot say a load of crap that will make the player confused!!"
Uh, yeah.

SPOILERS(highlight to read):They used Snake to get the Metal Gear to work since they only could get 1 code,and also that Meryl was helping Snake and that she had the card with her.
Another one would be when you learn that you were sent only to spread the FoxDie virus around the base so the government could retrieve the Metal Gear intact.
Or after the credits,when Ocelot speak to an unknown guy,at the end of the speech you discovered that he was working for the president,and that the president was a bad guy.END OF SPOILERS

Forget these games. Go and buy yourself a nice pie instead.

MGS2 was nothing compared to MGS1. Negatives * The bosses weren't as good. * The storyline was just a blatant copy of MGS1 because they couldn't think up anything new. They did try to hide this by the characters saying they'd copied the Shadow Moses incident. * The music was worse * Raiden was nothing compared to Snake * I absolutely hated that arm crap * The Solidus wasn't as intresting as Liquid. His background with Raiden wasn't as good as Liquids with Solids. * The game was easier than MGS1 (I had normal difficulty for both games on my first go) Positives * You can do more - First Person Shooting, tranquilize, get them to look at girly posters etc. * You get a sword The game just doesn't compare to MGS1. It was basically just improved graphics.

Exactly, Inq, but you forgot one thing. Raiden's hair ; Anyways, why tell the kid to go buy MGS2 when he hasn't even played the first?

That is why I'm so looking forward to Twin Snakes (snake eater also for that matter).
MGS > MGS2

The music was worse? The MGS2 soundtrack kicked MGS's @$$.
Also, FireKnight2k3, I know that those plot twists were good, especially (SPOILER)the government trying to bomb Shadow Moses at the end to cover up the nukes.(/SPOILER)
However, MGS2 was just more intriguing and unpredictable even if it is cheap. And how can you say Hideo thought it up in 2 hours? I believe he said it took him like 2 years to think of just the ending.
I mean, think about it, you probably figured out the MGS plot after Vulcan Raven gave you those hints before he died.

Your fighting a losing battle. Go play some MGS and relive the magic.

I have played it through like 10 times in the last few months, and I really loved it, but MGS2 is just a little bit better.
The storylines are equally good, and I'm just trying to say that MGS2's ending did not suck.

It was basically just improved graphics. You forgot something in negative,most of the game was cinematic and talking.
The MGS2 storyline wasn't better,it was overdone.
The thing about Raiden,when I first saw the artwork of him in the manual before playing it I though it was a girl. My friends though the same.
Hum...what's MOF?
