Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Trial Edition is a playable demo of 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 play the demo. Another, more updated version, simply called the Trial Version, was also released in Europe via the Official PlayStation Magazine. It had three versions within that version: one that was included in a special edition sports disc in Europe via the Official PlayStation Magazine, one released separately, and a third that was released as a direct result of the announcement of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Being an early demo, all of the characters' dialogue is still in Japanese, although the subtitles are in English.
