Among Metal Gear fans this has been a subject of much debate: how does the 2004 remake of Metal Gear Solid, called The Twin Snakes and released on the Nintendo Gamecube, compare to the original PlayStation version released in 1998? Opinions on this matter are very divided. The goal of this article is to break down the games and as unbiasedly as possible compare the different parts.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From first-person espionage thrillers to the original installments of beloved franchises, check out the greatest retro video games we recommend for anyone.
I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.
Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.
GB: "We analyze Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and see how it holds up in the current gaming landscape."
I think your enjoyment of Twin Snakes comes down to if you played the PS1 original first or not.
Not really, Played and enjoyed both when they were released.
The original was better, but TTS had that Jon Woo charm, and was enjoyable all the way through.
The original soundtrack was missing in Twin Snakes and for me audio is half the experience. Original OST was iconic.
The only things that held this back for me were Naomi's voice acting and the music being changed when you end Sniper Wolf in the cutscene.
Other than that I thought the cutscenes and game were absolutely phenomenal.
I love both
Twin Snakes on the Gamecube is my favorite.Not because of the graphics but because of the updated controls.
that bullet time effect that The Matrix movie made so famous completely ruined the game's remake for me.
Minus the slow mow scenes with Snake it was a great remake its too bad twin snakes wasnt added to the MGS HD collection.
TTS voice acting sucked. Mei Ling and Nastasha lost their accents. Also the Matrix-like cutscenes we're an insult to the real deal IMO.
