Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - HD Edition feature an increased 720p resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, providing a clearer and wider view of the player's surroundings compared to the original 480p resolution and 4:3 ratio of the PlayStation 2 version. Cutscenes can now be viewed in full-screen or letterboxed format, while online achievements/trophies have been added as well. Most of the additional content from Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance has also been ported in this version, such as the Missions and Snake Tales modes, although the Skateboarding mini-game that was present in the PlayStation 2 version of Substance is absent.
An espionage thriller set in an alternate near future. In a prologue chapter, legendary operative Solid Snake infiltrates a tanker on the Hudson River to photograph evidence of a new Metal Gear walking battle tank, only for Russian mercenaries to hijack the vessel and for his old rival Ocelot to seize the machine and sink the ship. Two years later, Snake is branded a terrorist while an offshore facility called the Big Shell rises to clean the resulting oil spill. When a group calling itself the Sons of Liberty storms the facility during a presidential visit, taking hostages and threatening its destruction, a rookie agent codenamed Raiden is sent in alone to rescue the captives and stop the terrorists. Aided by mysterious allies and haunted by his own past, Raiden uncovers a tangled web of deception reaching far beyond the Big Shell.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the sequel to the espionage action game Metal Gear Solid. Much of the gameplay remains the same, as the game's protagonist has to sneak past guards, outsmart them using various gadgets and defeat the tricky boss enemies. The game expanded its predecessor's cover mechanic, with Solid Snake or Raiden able to take cover behind walls or objects and pop out to shoot at enemies, while the improved enemy AI allowed enemies to also take cover from the player. Metal Gear Solid 2 is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time, as well as a leading example of artistic expression in video games.
