It is the seventh overall game in the series and is a direct sequel to the original Metal Gear Solid, having Solid Snake as a protagonist.

A remastered version of the game was later included in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox 360.

The story revolves around the Big Shell, a massive offshore clean-up facility seized by a group of terrorists who call themselves the titular "Sons of Liberty".

Metal Gear Solid 2 received acclaim for its gameplay, graphics, and attention to detail. However, critics were initially divided on the protagonist and the philosophical nature and execution of the game's storyline, which explores themes such as the Information Age, memetics, social engineering, political conspiracies, censorship, artificial intelligence, existentialism, postmodernism, virtual reality, and the internal struggle of political liberty and freedom of thought.

The game was a commercial success, selling seven million copies by 2004. It has since been considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time, as well as a leading example of artistic expression in video games. The game is often considered ahead of its time for dealing with real life themes and concepts, such as post-truth politics, fake news, alternative facts, and echo chambers, that became culturally relevant in the 2010s.

A direct sequel called metal_gear_solid_4|Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released in 2008.
