Which brings me to this point. I have a PSone dual shock gamepad and a PS to PC USB controller adapter. Will I have any control issues using my PSone gamepad as oppose to the PS2 gamepad the game was designed for? Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

the gameplay itself is rather good
What little there was

Metal Gear Solid 2 required a fair bit of configuring to get working properly, and there were two moves I couldn't do on the controller. But they were fairly non-critical, and I could live without them. (I found missing them to be about the same level of annoyingness as actually HAVING them on the real controller).
You know, I really hate to admit this, but I bought the PC version well after playing the PS2 version. I bought it knowing full well that the game would stink up my room and bring dishonor to my PC. But you know... that first level can last a fairly long time if you REALLY draw it out... and the VR missions are kind of fun. (But I had my fill of the VR stuff with MGS: Integral). I figured I could get my $25 worth if I just played the first level repeatedly. And you know what? Other than the nasty taste I get in my mouth every time I think about actually giving money to Kojima for the pile of crap in CD form... I don't regret it that much.
Just some emphasis on this...

What are the 2 moves you can't do the PSone controller? And what was the configuration you used to get it to work properly?

odifiend, both of the sticks should be functional on PC. The only things that aren't are the analog face buttons. Most PSX->PC converters even have rumble.

The move you mentioned was 1 of the 2 moves I was thinking of, which a review mentioned about. lol......that was the only review I've read to date that has bashed the game.

Someone care to translate this?

Dearest Genome Soldier: Having a wonderful time, wish you were here. With love, Solid Snake: MGS2 sucks.
Plain and simple.
ADDED: Has anyone come across any bad bugs in the PC version? In the Tanker section, after Otacon tells Snake to take 4 pics of Metal Gear Ray, when gameplay resumes the game crashes after about 1 second. I've tried many times (even skipping the cutscenes and codec if that made a difference). The game successfully didn't crash once, but haven't been lucky since. It crashes at the same point all the time and sadly, there's no patch that fixes the bug. Has anyone came acorss this and know a way around it?
