Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, is a remake of Metal Gear Solid, a stealth action game, published by Konami in 1998 for the Sony Playstation. The game features improved visuals, redirected cutscenes and gameplay elements introduced inMetal gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

You play as Solid Snake, and your mission is to rescue hostages from an Alaskan military installation and prevent a terrorist group from launching a nuclear strike.

Metal Gear Solid is the game that popularized and put the stealth genre on consoles. It was both a commercial and critical success back in 1998. However, time has passed, and this once incredible game has aged a bit, it looks now too block and pixelated for newcomers to appreciate, and the stealth genre has envolved since then, making it feel outdated. It begged and deserved a remade version, and six years later, it came.

In 2004 a remake of this classic was released under the title of ''Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes'' featuring current generations graphics, which surely helps a lot and is reason enough to purchase it, but after the brilliant work that Capcom did for the remade version of the first Resident Evil, which not only has incredible visuals, but new and redesigned level (and much more), my standards for remakes became too high, which is why Twin Snakes disappointed me a bit. Except for the graphics, everything seems to have come straight from 1998.

A few (lazy) improvements were made, such as the implementation of some gameplay elements from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty like the first-person mode view and improved AI from enemies, but the original game was not designed to accommodate them, and Konami didn't change a thing on the levels structure (just minor details). The result is that it unbalances the game difficulty. The first-person view for example makes the levels progression much easier, there's no need to stealth as you can now destroy the surveillance cameras and shot tranquilizers at the enemies head, and it even breaks some bosses fights, like Ocelot's (you only need to stand still in first-person mode and shoot him). So badly implemented was the improved artificial intelligence, because the scenarios are smaller than those from MGS2, so it is harder to escape when you get caught by a guard.

As you play the game, you realize that real effort was put on the cutscenes. They are now more dramatic (even if sometimes a bit too ''Matrixied'') and nice to look at, as now characters have a real face and move their lips, not just shake their head. However they last longer than in the original game, which is something that wasn't needed, as it was already too much to watch.

In conclusion, even if i cited too much negative points, this game is not bad, far from it, because as i said, it is the same classic game with better graphics (and with a few bad design decisions), but a new coat of paint is not enough to make it feels current.
