I never found that to be much of a big deal myself. Yes, Snake is cooler by far, but Raiden still could do the things that Snake did in the first game. Gamers can be more than a little fussy at times.

It's more about feeling let down. All the promotional stuff about MGS2 concentrated on Snake and even the demo was set on the Tanker so everyone thought they would be playing as Snake through the game. When it switched to Raiden a lot of fans felt cheated. It was unfair in a way but thats just how fans are. If you advertise a Star Trek game set in the TNG universe then you better have Picard, Riker, Sisko etc in there or the fans will feel cheated.
Similarly all the promotional stuff for DMC4 showed Dante and the fans want to play as Dante so when the game starts with Nero the fans are like WTF? This isn't what I wanted...
Dante does turn up and you do get to play as him but Nero suffers from Raiden syndrome here.

And that is one retarded idea.
I like the Dante combat, and Nero is also an interesting character....to play. He is such a whiny brat, and his combat is too simplified. Dante is really about chance and coordination, Nero is just BASHING BASHING BASHING QUICKTIMEVENT FURTHER BASHING.
Ah well, still a good game, and such SHINY GRAPHIXX. And DRM free surprisingly. Definetely one of the better Capcom ports. Get a controller for this however, it will easen your gameplay experience.

Definitely. Even if you don't get it for the gameplay, the cutscenes alone are easily worth $7.50. They're not only very well directed, but filled with Crowning Moments of Awesome.

20 bucks? Hell yes its worth that! I got it on ebay for something like 35 which is still cheaper than the steam price for australians but having played through the game I'd say it'd be worth near RRP (as in I'd have paid that much and not felt ripped off when I finished it)
