Raiden questions why the nuclear football, which the president of the United States can use to authorize a nuclear strike, was brought along with the president to the Big Shell facility, and the cyborg ninja explains why. Both ought to have known that the football goes everywhere the president goes where there isn't a fixed command center, in case a situation arises in which a nuclear strike must be launched on a minute's notice.

User Reviews

Arsenal? What the....

Snake is a great character. I was mad when I found out that you aren't him. Radien is cool but everyone thinks he's a girl. But it's his first mission and you go to save the president but end up doing a lot more. From that you start fighting freaks, finding out that Snake's alive, learning of a new and unstoppable Metal Gear, and fight with your girlfriend all at the same time. It is a good game with lots of stuff to achieve and lots of enemies to fight. You should rent or buy this game. It's one of best games.
