Title Screen Titillation
While you're starting at the title screen and Snake's red face, you can manipulate the background's position and color by moving the Right Analog Stick. Press L2 and a gunshot will sound.
Codec Craziness
While watching any Codec conversation, move the Right and Left Analog Sticks and the characters' faces will move. Press on the sticks, and the faces will zoom in close. Press the R1 or R2 button while Snake or Raiden is listening to someone, and you can hear their thoughts. Some of the guys' secret attitudes toward the other characters are quite funny!
Camera Surveillance
Equip the Scope, the Camera, or the Digital Camera and watch soldiers from a distance. Press the Action button and something strange but useful happens; if you have collected that soldier's Dog Tags, his name will be displayed. This helps you determine which guards reamain to be captured.
Cinema Control
During any of the cinemas depicting real-time events in the game, press the R1 button to zoom in on the scene. Then move the Right Analog Stick to move the camera. This is a great way to examine the fantastic amount of detail in the character modeling and background textures.
Different Olga Cinemas
Depending on which side of the Port Navigational Deck you defeat Olga Gurlukovich during the "Tanker" episode, the cinema afterwards changes slightly. If you defeat her on the left side of the area, she is seen hanging over the rail in the cinema. Defeat her on the right side, and she is slumped against an open crate. All of the camera angles are changed accordingly.
Calisthenics
Either character can improve the level of his Grip Gage by doing chin-ups from a rail. To do this, hang over the rail and press L2 and R2 simultaneously to exercise. Do 100 chin-ups, and the Grip Gauge will increase in level. The gauge can reach Level 3 by doing a certain number of chin-ups.
Perverted Troopers
Leave one of the lockers with a pinup on Deck-A of the Tanker. If soldiers come into the room on a "clearing" mission, they will stop and gawk at the pretty lady. The trick works also on the Plant chapter, but this time use adult magazines.
Tanker Shortcuts
Use First Person Mode at the top of the Engine Room, and you'll notice a wire that extends from one side of the room to the other. Leap over the back rail and shimmy onto the wire. It helps if you have a leveled-up Grip Gauge.
When sneaking into the cargo holds, look for hatches at the back of each room. There is a hatch that Snake can climb into at the back of Hold No.1. Crawl through the vent into Hold No.2, and look for another hatch on the other side of the projectors. Crawl through this vent, and you'll reach Hold No.3 with no problem! Also, look for wires that span the upper levels of the holds...
Projector Fun
When in Hold No.2 you can switch which projector is working. The Marines will turn their heads in the direction of the projector, enabling Snake to sneak by. You can continue switch them back and forth until Snake puts up an image of a woman on the projector scree, at which point he get caught. It's still fun to try.
Seagull Splatter
If you look up in the sky in First Person View Mode and a bird flies overhead, shit will land right on the camera!
Shave, Snake!
If you otain the shaver at the beginning of the Plant chapter, Raiden will give it to Snake later on, changing Snake's appearance.
Bathroom Problems
When you're listening to the converasation between Ocelot and Solidus with your Directional Mic, press left to point the mic at the bathroom. You'll be able to listen to a very humorous scene where Johnny Sasaki is having problems on the toilet.
Daze the Guards
Even the stealthy sometimes get caught. When this happens, a blue exclamation point will appear above the guard's head. If you shoot the blue punctuation mark, you'll knock the guard out temporarily.
Getting Dog Tags
Most of the normal guards in the game have Dog Tags that contain the names of the game's development team and those that won Konami's contest. To collect the Dog Tags you must hold up the guard and then make him shake and give it up by pointing your gun at his head or crotch. Dog Tags can be collected for each of the game's four difficulty levels.
Replay Value
Once beating the game once, a blue Raiden face will appear in the main menu. All the Marines on the Tanker will be in their underwear. After beating the game the third time Snake and Raiden will wear sunglasses in cutscenes (Japanese and European version only). If you collect all the Dog Tags on 3 difficulty settings you can ulock secret items; Snake would get Stealth and Bandana and Raiden will get 3 different Wigs and Stealth. Each Wig has a hidden power/ability.
Snake Under Box
After the conversation with Stillman in Strut see, exit the kitchen and go to the exit on your right. When you go through you will see a guard knocked out... Look onto the bridge and you will see "someone" under the box.
Reveal Cyborg Ninja
When the Cyborg Ninja says "I'm like you, I have no name." QUICKLY press R1,L1,L2,R2 and his mask will flash on and off to reveal his face. Mystery! Big Spoiler. It really works!
Snake's Tag
To get Snake's Tag you need to put him on sleep w/the tranqualizer and make him drop it. (NOTE. if you try to knock him out w/your kick-punch combo he'll kick your ass for sure)
Radar Weather Girl
When Raiden is waiting for Snake in the Arsenal Gear corridor, a short video featuring Konami Eyes model will suddenly overtake the Soliton Radar display. Don't answer a Codec call while the video is playing, or it will disappear.
Soldier Envy
After Olga releases you from the torture machine go to where the Arsenal Tengus are patrolling and set of the alarm. Then quickly run back to the torture machine and lean against it so it looks like Raiden is still tied to is. A soldeir will enter, look around and then will be very jealous of Raiden's "package".
Snake Talk
Once you have written down your clear code, quickly hit UP (x2), DOWN (x2), LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, X and CIRCLE to hear Snake speak.
Emma Talk
When Emma is crossing the Oil Fance and you cover her with Sniper Fire, wait for her to go behind the column. Use the directional microphone to listen in. On the first one she'll make fun of Raiden's hair (call her as soon as she finished talking, for more fun). Behind the second column she'll run into Johnny Sasaki (guard from MGS).

Hostages
Ask the old lady if she is Ames and she will wet herself
You can assualt the hostages by kicking them, also stand right over one go into first person mode, look at them and hit punch, you will hit them with the but of your AK. Rose and the Colonel do not like this!
One of the female hostages (Jennifer) has her legs slightly spread. If you try to look between them, she closes them quickly, Stun her with a dart and while she sleeps, she’ll slowly open/close them. Crawl under the table she’s facing if your that desperate!
