It ruined the plot, not necessarily the game. Some people wanted to see what happened next in the plot over what gameplay features were added, and those people were disappointed the most. I was, for one. Most reviewers reviewed MGS2 on it's gameplay and experience, not necessarily the plot. I believe IGN commented that playing as Raiden was a joke, but the gameplay and story-telling was so good that it almost "overrode" the weak plot.
