Ages five and older? I guess companies are aiming to sell M rated games to minors afterall.

It's like wrestling; the higher age-rating makes kids want to watch it more, then action figures come out and kids can no longer hide behind the age-rating as proof that it is not, in fact, designed for children. Except MGS is totally awesome, unlike wrestling.

hmmm just want to say:
What did people think of Metal Gear Awesome 2?
personally I thought it was ok, but the original is definitely superior. What killed some of the humor for me is how much slower it was compared to MGA1. What was funny about the first one was how the MGS1 storyline was condensed in a 3 min flash cartoon with everything going super super fast. Sadly this isn't the case with the sequel. Also while funny, some of the jokes went on for far too long. ONe that comes to mind is the pissing scene(reminded me of a Family guy joke. That's not good). But it was still a decent vid.
Oh and also,
"YO B! SNEAK THAT SHIT!!!"

From the looks of that shirtless, buff doll up there, I think they should call the game "Metal Gear Homoerotic"
Of course, one could infer the same from the actual title "Metal Gear Solid" -- "Solid", huh? As in "Solid as a rock"?
You anime-loving fanboys sure do love your androgynous, long-haired, shirtless heroes, don't you?
