For some odd reason, I've got it in my head that it's a two-disc set, but the used copy I found today only has one.

 

[tsp_gatmog]

it is 1.
if it was 2, and you only got 1 disc, you'd see a tray for another disc in the case.

 

[Lakitu]

One.

It's in a Blockbuster case, not the standard PS2 stuff, so I couldn't be sure. Thanks.

I'd hate to get a 2 disc game from them.

As an added bonus I'll tell you how many are in the Xbox version: 1

And as an added added bonus, i'll tell you how many FPS the Xbox version runs in: 5

 

[SpoonyBard]

The PAL PS2 version has 2 discs.

 

[Wario64]

It's 1 disc and one of the few games on DVD-9 (dual layer)

 

[duckroll]

It's one dual-layer DVD for the PS2 MGS2 Substance. I expect MGS3 Subsistence to be the same.

 

[Jonsend]

The PAL version also has 'The Document of MGS:2' included.

 

[Crazymoogle]

But does the PAL version have the document save feature?

I can't imagine playing MGS2S without all of the levels being unlocked from the start. -_-;

 

[Solid]

But does the PAL version have the document save feature?

Of course.

 

[jooey]

ooh ooh I bet the pc version has more than 1 though right

 

[Crazymoogle]

Of course.

Really? I thought somebody mentioned the feature was removed from the PAL version (where substance detects the document save and unlocks everything)

That's not true. I have the game and did that trick to get all the things unlocked so take it from me

Serious? I played through MGS2 on PS2 and Xbox and I didn't see any more slowdown on the Xbox at all. In fact, the only difference was that the Xbox had better color separation.

 

[demi]

I had a bit of slowdown during the tanker sequence.

Oh no, not this stuff again...

The box version has considerably more slowdown, reduction of quality on many special effects (mostly post filters during cutscenes), loss of texture quality due to compression, and fewer, less complex particle effects (rain especially). I did a very detailed comparison back when the XBOX version was released and those were the issues I found.

 

[tsp_gatmog]

outside the tanker was awful on the xbox version
