Rosemary

Undoubtedly Metal Gear Solid 2's most annoying obstacle, Rosemary attempts to thwart and confuse players whenever they try to save the game. Strange emotional outbursts, meaningless questions and completely inappropriate sentimentality all need to be conquered before attention can be returned to the mission. You can almost hear Raiden's sigh of relief when his cloying girlfriend is replaced by a bonkers computer AI towards the end of the game.

Special abilities: Rosemary attacks with unpredictable mood swings, rampant paranoia, accusatory trap questions and reminders of irrelevant anniversaries. And she's not even married yet!

Weaknesses: She's powerless against gratuitous use of the skip button.

Trivia: No more questions. We have Rosemary.
