I have the PS2 version of this guide and since I've been out collecting guides lately, I decided to pick this one up. Amazingly enough (or not really) this guide is about the same as the PS2 guide. Well, the Walkthrough part for the original SOL is. The only bonus you get is the fact that this is XBOX (and if you get the PS2 MGS2: Substance, this is a better buy than that substance guide. Just remember that the controls are different). pAnyway, the biggest bonus is all those VR missions and Snake tails. Basically all the bonus stuff in MGS2: Substance. The guide is worth the grab for all that. pHowever, all the problems with the PS2 guide still remain. They don't go into any detail about the different difficulty levels in the guide. They tell you all the basic stuff but don't help you prepare for the next difficulty level. For example, the EXTREME difficulty level has several new additions that aren't in NROMAL mode that the guide simply won't detail, like when you must destroy more sensors at the Shell 1-2 Connecting Bridge. pThe nice dog tag strategies are nice but my cheap trick to getting them still works fine. Wanna hear it? It's so simple and easy to do that I'll tell you right now! Once you get your hands on that coolant spray, get some easy dog tags by always putting a guard to sleep. Then walk to him and spray him until he wakes up. When he wakes up get behind him and have your gun pointing out BEFORE he comes to a stance. Do this and you'll shout FREEZE as soon as he's back on his feet. Pretty easy huh? Simple.pAnyway, enough about secrets as this isn't a place to submit tips for the game. Anyway, this is a good guide to get and if you buy the PS2 version of MGS2: Substance I'd recommend you get this guide rather than the PS2 guide...which overall will force you buy two guides (and all together you're paying the price of two guides! Meaning you'll have to buy the original MGS2: SOL guide and then the Substance guide for PS2 spending thirty dollars when you didn't have to).
