Character from Metal
Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal
Gear Solid 2: Substance (special edition version of SoL) and Metal
Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
On of the most under-rated characters from a western standpoint. Hated by
immature little
kids who whined that he was "gay" despite having a girlfriend. Also, these people were desperate to play as the more manly Snake, which makes their sexuality questionable.
In MGS4 he's taken over the role of the game's "Cyborg Ninja", and is apparently no more than a
head and spine kept alive in a special exoskeleton.
Generally he's a pretty good character. Personally, I didn't hate him at all in MGS2. I was surprised to suddenly be playing as him but I was mature enough not to throw my toys out the pram because it wasn't "my spweshial snake!"
Whiner: Waaahhh, Raiden's so gay, I wanna
play as Snake!
Me: If he's gay how did he get a girl
pregnant and why did he show no signs of having a romantic interest in men?
Whiner: He has long
hair.
