OMG YAY TY FOR THIS MESSAGE!! I'm so glad I can use my PHD in Raiden. It's been a few years since I've watched someone play MGRR but man. I love watching this game. For being a (canonical) spinoff I think it carries the spirit of the series's goofiness- and antiwar theming- quite well (if not more blatant - *more* political than the main series games). MGRR Raiden and MGS2 Raiden do seem like different characters..

I would debate all three Raidens, MGS2, MGS4, and MGRR, play like they're going through different phases of their life. Each game, he goes through a new and fun identity crisis. Naive hotshot -> emo kid -> scene kid, but they're all about trying to find identity and purpose. From a modern fandom consensus, I think most people like MGS4 Raiden the least, and like MGRR Raiden the most.
