This thread has been linked to the game 'Metal Gear Solid : Twin Snakes'.
Impulse bought the game today - Not sure what I think of it yet. I don't like the still camera angles - it's like trying to do Resident Evil in stealth - and considering it is a remake, it is a shame that the communicator screen is all in 2D, despite MGS2 on PS2 being in 3D.
Without spoilers (as I've not long played it), does it get any better?

I was watching the Electric playground on Gamenetwork and some SK guy said the game has connectivity. I am yet to find it. But I did find the camera in the game. (Doesn't do anything that great)
Edgy I was exactly the same as you - I'd played the beginning of MGS2 on the PS2, and I thougt it was a bit rubbish, but I did really like Metal Gear on the GBC, and so I thought I'd give this a go.
The gameplay does get a bit of getting used to, and once you're familiar with the controls and you realise that the game works on specific stealth mechanics to which real logic doesn't apply, you will be able to look past the camera angles and the control niggles, and see the game for what it really is.
I'm just in the Cell after failing the torture (on purpose SPOILER I want the stealth suit), and I'm gripped by the game.
Just get past the initial frustrations of getting caught because you have NO clue what to do, and you should start to enjoy the game more.

I only ever gave MGS2 a quick go on the PS2 - so really this is my first proper go at the series.
If you loved it you would have it by now.
Will get this on GAD, once my mebership has, um, come into existence.. ;)
I love MGS.
I love MGS.
If you aren't a fan of Metal Gear then I don't know what you expect to get from it. You either love it or you don't, I know very few people who lie in between.
For me it is explosive form the start but I have been a Metal Gear fan since the Nes. Wait until you meet Ninja and Revolver Ocelot for the first time, that's when it kicks off a bit.

the flashy new FMV sequences are nice.
