Some guard actions (such as initiating Alert/Caution) are timed to take effect once they finish using the radio. There is also a difference caused by translation that affects all languages.
When attempting it on NTSC versions, after you trip him twice, he gets up and runs away, no matter your location. Fatman's loop strategy only works on PAL versions.PAL Fortune attacks 16 more times on Extreme.
Fortune's attack patterns are changed to compensate (or rather, over-compensate) for the huge slowdown in the NTSC version.
Game time is measured in frames, so slowdown (or the lack of it) does not give one version an advantage in game time. There is less slowdown in graphically-complex areas such as outside on the Tanker, the Holds, Fortune and Rays.Codec conversations, when skipped with Square, take longer to do so (one screen per frame).First-person aiming is slower, as the distance covered when adjusting it is measured by the frame.Button actions take longer to take effect, including firing (which makes it difficult to fire a pistol rapidly), opening equip menus (which also gives Quick Equip a bigger window) and equip scrolling.Elevators (including the one in Strut A Deep Sea Dock) take longer to appear.This (and other timing effects) are caused by routes using a frame timer (instead of a real-time timer) which has not been compensated for. Many guard and mech routes are slower, which can make things easier or harder depending on the situation.While PAL (Eu) and NTSC (US, Jp) ostensibly run at the same speed (adjusted to compensate for PAL's lower frame rate), there are various subtle differences in PAL versions either caused by it, or specifically added for other reasons: Snake Tales, Missions, and (PS2-only) Skateboarding modes. Substance (World): Exploits and glitches fixed, most notably the Tengus Coolant glitches (made significantly more difficult to execute) and Elevator floor clip.C4 locations changed in Strut D and Strut A Deep Sea Dock. Sons of Liberty (Eu): European Extreme difficulty.This version only: V.Easy, Easy, Normal and Hard are named Easy, Normal, Hard and V.Hard respectively. Various bug fixes and presentation changes. Sons of Liberty (Jp): Dog Tag changes, most notably some Marines in Tanker Holds.The main revisions (in order of release): MGS2 has gameplay differences between every version of the game.
