Has anyone noticed that MGS1 was supposed to take place this year ? Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake took place in 1999, if you haven't played it you can read "Previous Missions", and in MGS1 after the Ninja Boss fight Snake said that he fought Gray Fox on a minefield in Zanzibar 6 years ago, which means that MGS1 took place this year !!!

This probably could have been summed up in something that won't take until the end of time to read.

WHAT ? Are you out of your mind ? In what way was The Twin Snakes better ? First of all it showed Snake as a character who has some kinds of "superior powers" that made him dodge bullets , missiles, and unarm a bunch of soldiers carrying Famas rifles while he is unarmed. If he is bullet-Proof, missile-Proof, no one can sneak up behind him, then what's the point of making it a stealth game in the first place ? The game takes place as if you were inside The Matrix, the events in the original took place in a real setting. In The Twin Snakes everything was possible, which didn't make any sense becasue there used to be characters that died in the game. If snake can dodge bullets from a machine gun, dodge bullets from a sniper rifle, dodge missiles and even jump and shoot a "stinger missile" from mid air, which by the way has a projectile force that can knock you off your feet, and even dodge a large portion of the ceiling coming directly at him due to a volley shot that was made by gray fox who "Cut the ceiling" and threw at at snake, now snake can do all that but he can't simply push Meryl away from Sniper Wolf's laser sight ? It doesn't make sense at all. It is obvious that Meryl was shot not because Snake couldn't do anything about it, but because this is what happened in the original game. And apart from that, all the scenes were too farfetched. Can you tell me the difference between Gray Fox in The Twin Snakes and an Agent from The Matrix ? The part where he keeps dodging bullets from Metal Gear Rex was ripped directly from The Matrix. The entire scene was much much better in the original game. All the cutscenes were a much MUCH better in the original . They were artistic, they had this "Hideo Kojima" flavour in them. They were engulfed in mystrey, with only small bits of action just for the sake of the story to keep flowing, not for mere entertainment. And the voiceovers. Now the guy who made the voice of Gray Fox in The Twin Snakes was a complete ediot. The one in the original MGS1 had a deeper , and more touching voice. Also the voices of Vulcan Raven , Phsycho Mantis and Mei Ling really really s*cked. The actors in the original game did a much better job. Also David Hayter didn't do it EXACTLY as he did it in the original, yes he did a good job, but it isn't perfect, unlike the original. And the music, now that was really really irritating. What happened to those epic themes during the boss fights ? Do you remember how enthusiastic did we feel every single time we fought the ninja in the original game ? What happened to that ? Isn't it enough that the wonderful phrases like "Make me feel it, make me feel alive again" or "Hurt me more , more" Became so lame because of changing the actor ? No , it seems that it's not enough, they had to make it so boring and ugly by removing the music. Offcourse the same applies to the rest of the bosses and to the parts that used to be brilliant in the original. Do you remember the theme when it kept getting faster and faster during the escape scene ? It became so boring and pointless. All the boss fights play the same way, but they don't have the same excietment. They lost their glamour. In the original MGS1 they had, and they still have this "Magic Touch" , which is lacked completely in The Twin Snakes. Also the first person shooting ability was never meant to be in MGS1. Some bosses were supposed to be fought from a 3rd person prespective, that was the beauty of it, 1st person made them much easier, and it doesn't make the fights the way they were originally directed by Hideo Kojima. Do you remember the music during the scene where Sniper Wolf Dies ? What happened to that ? It became "emotionless". In the original game I felt that she was dying right infront of me no matter how many times I play the game, while in The Twin Snakes it seems as if the actress was holding a paper and reading from it the lines that she's supposed to say. There is no "Life" in it. It feels cold. It feels ugly. When we watched the cutscenes in the original MGS, it used to give us a feeling that snake was skillful, but yet he's human. When you point a gun at him, he surrenders. When you shoot him, he bleeds. He falls. He get's hurt . He's human. This is the kind of impression that was left in us, that's why when we first played the game we got worried about snake after the first Metal Gear Rex fight, and that's why the scene were Gray Fox saves him made such a great impact on us. It came as a complete surprise. It was done skillfully and beautifully. Snake was hopeless infront of the powerful REX. Gray Fox saved him, and gave him REX on a plate of gold. He really gave me the feeling that he fullfils what snake told Naomi: "Your brother fought with every ounce of strength left in him to save you, me and the whole world". While in The "Super Snakes" everything was possible. Throughout the whole game snake evaded everything that stood in his way, all he had to do is dodge this, dodge that, and there are no problems at all. You have no fears or worries. The final scene with fox was , firstly, un-surprising (Offcourse not because we've seen the original, but from snake's point of view, assuming that the events are happening for the first time), un-enthusiastic and un-exciting, because what Gray Fox did was based on things that also snake kept doing in the game. And secondly it was done awfully. Bullet time has been ripped off The Matrix by many games and movies , so it wasn't original. And the whole scene took place slowly, unlike the original scene where Fox was Graceful, moved beautifully and quickly, and his body was upright and stretched for most of the time, and on top of all that it was much more touching. It had so many emotions. I used to feel sorry for fox every single time I watched it. His voice was deep, and he sounded suffering and in pain, unlike The F**ked up snakes were it seemed to be some cheap actor who just kept reading some lines , he couldn't make us beleive it. I never felt for 1 second in the original MGS1 that I was playing a video game. It was taken seriously. It was spectacular. Once upon a time there was a beautiful game called Metal Gear Solid , now some people decided to ruin it because they wanted to make some money. The Twin Snakes is a shame. It is a disgrace. Oh God, I wish they never made that game.
