Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Trial Edition

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: Trial Edition is a playable demo for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It was included as a separate game disc with the initial release of Zone of the Enders as a pre-order bonus, thus leading to various misleading sales figures as many pre-ordered the game solely to get the demo included.

Demo content
The Demo contained the demo itself, which covered the beginning of the Tanker Chapter up to the immediate aftermath of the fight with Olga Gurlukovich; the options; the previous story; and the specials menu. For the demo itself, it had Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard difficulties, and selecting whether the player wants Radar 1 on, Radar 2 on, or simply not have the radar activated at all.

The Demo's title screen focused on the George Washington Bridge, with a few appearances from the Ka-60 Kasatka choppers overhead.

After beating Olga and the scene that followed, the demo has some statements made by later characters that hinted at what would happen later on in the game (eg, Liquid's return, Otacon's admission that he got the Metal Gear via a tip, and Snake apparently being killed or captured) as the screen showed the words "To Be Continued."

Differences between the Demo and the final version

 * As the demo was still a demo, all of the characters voices were still in Japanese, although their dialogue subtitles were translated into English.
