20 Mind-Blowing Things You Didn't Know About Metal Gear Solid 2

20. The Script Was Over 800 Pages Long

It's no secret that basically every game in the Metal Gear Solid franchise has an absolutely colossal script, given Hideo Kojima's penchant for hilariously verbose, often exposition-riddled dialogue.

Incredibly, though, the second game's expanded scope from its predecessor resulted in a script totalling a whopping 800 pages.

To put this into perspective, that's around seven times the average Hollywood movie script, and so one can easily picture Kojima needing to carry this thing around in a briefcase.

These 800 pages obviously account for not just the base dialogue and story for players sticking to the critical path, but also every possible codec conversation they can have throughout the game.
