 A great remake July 19, 2008
Honestly I've had the Twin Snakes for over 2 years and beaten it a couple times. I also have and beaten the original one on PSX atleast 5 times. With that said this version is very similar to the original game. The main differences that come to mind are that you can use 1st person view when shooting any gun. That alone makes the game much easier than the original. Another thing is that you have a silent tranquilizer gun like in MGS2. That can be pretty useful at times also. Last the graphics are very improved for the most part. They're just as good if not better than MGS2 or Snake Eater.
The only things that bother me though is that the cutscenes are a bit different. Also some of the voices are a bit off on a some of the characters. The controls take some getting used to, but they are still good. But with that said the game is still very solid. The game is still very action packed like the original Playstation version.
So in short, this game is pretty much like playing Metal Gear Solid with the graphics and controls of Metal Gear Solid 2. Unless you're very anal about little meaningless details that you fell in love with concerning the original game, I highly recommend it if you have a Gamecube or Wii.
 Love the original masterpiece - I just wish I could say the same thing about Twin Snakes. April 6, 2008

Let's face it - Twin Snakes blows. Anyone who says it's good is totally lying to themselves or has not played the original MGS1 for PS1.
A majority of the cut-scenes were unnecessary and really stupid. Snake does some super-human moves that just ridiculous - this isn't The Matrix or some Steven Seagal movie.
 Good but. June 2, 2007

This is a remake and is a mixed bag compared to the masterpiece of the PSX one, sure it looks better and plays a bit better its still clunky in controls the new dialog is..well...so so but what I hate the most is the music....they took a wonderful score and raped and battered it to match modern crap cinma.
Don't get me wrong its a solid game and the gameplay is a improvement but the first game had more charm..
not as good as the 1st May 25, 2007

A Worthy Remake of a Great Classic February 6, 2007

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is Nintendo's first foray into the MGS series. (Note: The first Metal Gear game was on the NES, though.) Those who have not experienced MGS before should play this game immediately - Metal Gear's brand of stealth action is unmatched in any other series of games. For those who are familiar with the original, the game offers little new content. Mostly, the cinematics have changed a bit, and the controls and enemy AI have been brought up to MGS2 standards. The graphics are also noticibly better, although they do look a bit muddy compared to the PS2 Metal Gear Solid 2, and it certainly doesn't take full advantage of the GameCube's power. Also, the controls feel a little oversensitive compared to the PS2 controls.
Also note that although the back of the case says that this game is a blend of Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2, it is only a remake of the former. It involves the controls and abilities of the second game, but it does not include it.
Metal Gear fans can't do without this game. Neither can those Nintendo fans who haven't experienced this yet. That's it.
