Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Metal Gear Solid, one of the most prestigious of all PlayStation game series, is now playable on GameCube. Owners of Nintendo's console will no doubt be celebrating already--with good reason, too. Essentially, Twin Snakes is an updated version of the original Metal Gear Solid PlayStation outing. A new graphics engine--which is every bit as impressive as that of the PS2's Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty--brings the original action bang up to date. While the storyline in Twin Snakes adheres closely to the original's, the way in which it is told is markedly improved: the original voiceover cast has re-recorded every conversation in the game, giving Twin Snakes a fresh take on a finely weaved plot of intrigue. A first-person perspective is introduced for those who wish to really soak up the Cold War atmosphere, while new cutscenes complete what is a comprehensive makeover for this legendary adventure. Gameplay is as sharp and intuitive as ever: Solid Snake is one super sleuth, his repertoire of actions is considerable, and controlling those actions is perfectly straightforward. It's a good job, really: the quality of the Artificial Intelligence means that precise control is vital if Snake is to halt the nuclear war that is afoot. Thanks in no small part to its AI, Twin Snakes has an atmosphere that is wonderfully intense--for late-night gaming, this really is video-game perfection. --Jonti Davies Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Great to playIf you played the first metal gear solid and found it enjoyable then this is a must get game for you and any fans of the Metal gear solid series. The Graphics are the biggest thing that made me enjoy this game as much as i did when i first played it on the Playstation. The first person mode helps out a lot aswell. The good thing about this game is that they havent missed anything out from the Playstation version, if anything they added extra gameplay in! So overall if youve played the original game on the ps1 then you must get this game as you will love to see everything in better graphics. If you havent played the ps1 version then you may find the game a bit akward but still and good game for any Gamecube Collection! ... Read More: Rating: - ExcellentThe Twin Snakes is a very good game. Infact this is the only game I own for Gamecube. This is a remake of Metal Gear Solid and the experience is somewhat different from the PS1 version, which is strange. I place it down to the music and the extra features such as first person aiming, hanging and rolling and the fact that the whole audio was re-recorded and most importantly the upgraded graphics. One thing I noticed was that there is barely any cutscenes that doesn't involve Snake leaping in the air, it can get a little OTT, but at the end of the day the whole metal gear story is a bit OTT. although the cutscenes that feature emotion from the characters are nicely toned down so that snake isn't leaping in the air during the bathroom scene unexplicably. ... Read More: Rating: - Brilliant remake of a classic gameI'm such a massive fan of the metal gear solid series and I recently completed the original metal gear solid for playstation 1 again to refresh my memory. I love the shadow moses storyline so with the updated graphics and the ability to use MGS2 moves/actions incorporated into this remake the game truly becomes amazing to play. The graphics are similar to MGS2 but are lacking a few finishing touches, for example Meryl seems to have been hit with the ugly club a few times but none the less the overall graphics and modifications are an extreme improvement from the original. The moves and actions are more or less the same as MGS2 as you can use first person shooting, you can hang, and even hold soldiers up to collect dog tags ...

I mean sure the Voices are lacking... (Some new Voice Actors make an appearance like MEI LING & NAOMI) I myself have no problem with them... But i personally bought it for the Extended Movies that the Original did not have... It has whole new Game Play (which i mainly bought it for) which makes it easyer but so much fun.. (The Dog Tags have returned from SONS OF LIBERTY on SONY PLAYSTATION 2) ...First time around you will be amazed. I think it's good to be on the NINTENDO GAMECUBE, the controls are nearly perfect, the Graphics are better obviously... I have no problems with it... The Music is nice... But to put this Review ... Read More: Rating:  - A Worthy RemakeTake the story of MGS1 and add the much needed features of MGS2 and you have what should be one of the greatest games ever. While this game is enjoyable, it does not warrant such a title. By the time the graphical upgrade was made worthwhile, the core gameplay feels very dated and drawn out by 'go- fer' quests that have you running back and forth, particularly in the game's final act. The mechanics of later MGS games work well and add interesting options on how to approach the same situations, but veterans will have no real bother here. Being a veteran of the series myself, having played these games since the original PS1 release, I have to say that I feel a bit put out by the acrobatics performed by Snake in this remake. They don't spoil the ... Read More: |
