10 Times Video Games Freaked Us Out With Fake Glitches And Cheeky Tricks
1. Metal Gear Solid 2 - Crazy Colonel Codec Calls
Top spot on this list goes to yet another Metal Gear Solid game. This time, it's Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty. Again, Hideo Kojima absolutely littered this classic title with amusing moments and fourth wall collapses, but the weirdest of all came near the end of the game, when Raiden began to understand that his entire mission had been a lie.
The Colonel, who has been calling and providing guidance throughout the game, suddenly completely loses his mind. He starts quoting earlier Metal Gear games, tells us he once got abducted by aliens, says we should stop sitting in front of the TV, offers gardening advice, and much more. In addition, his head appears at random angles in the codec call box and can even change into a spooky skull from time to time.
It was a really eerie and bizarre sequence, with Raiden's girlfriend Rose also calling up with creepy comments and milky eyes too. Around the same time, the game also freaks players out with a fake game over screen and the words 'Fission Mailed' in the corner. Basically, the last couple of hours of MGS2 are completely crazy and left many players scratching their heads.
