In 1998 Metal Gear Solid came out. It changed the way we looked at video games. It had an amazing story(better than most espionage movies), introduced stealth to the modern VG era(errr...by modern I mean 1998). The game basically had everything, a bad@$$ hero, a giant sci-fi walking tank, a spunky girl sidekick, , a cyborg ninja. The game was definately one of the greatest games out there. Now Silicon knights made an updated version of the classic for the Gamecube. I can say they've done a great job.

Like MGS1 the Twin Snakes stars Solid Snake, a famous war hero living alone in Alaska. Until his friend persuades him to come out of retirement to go one a mission on the island of Shadow Moses. What he has to do is stop a terrorist threat from launching a nuclear missle. The terrorists consist of a genetically advanced army, and what used to be Snakes old team(with new people) FOXHOUND. Of course every MGS fan knows that the story really takes off from there.

MGS:TTS has some faults to it as well as strong points. The controls take some time to get used to. The guards are much smarter but still seem dumb. There are also some noticable bugs and glitches. But those don't compare to the strong points. I played the first game(not all the way through, parts of it) and I can say TTS is a much different experiance in ways. The graphics are enhanced, the cutscenes have been almost complety changed in ways. There's alot more action and more emotion in ways. They also added all the stuff they added in Metal Gear Solid 2(lockers, moves etc.)

Overall Metal Gear Solid: the Twin Snakes was a great game. I would reccomend this to Metal Gear fans, spy and espionage fans and people who like games with action. If you own a Gamecube and haven't tried any Metal Gear Solid yet, try this game.

  Believe it or not, stealth action games haven’t always been around. Not until 1998 would the gaming world be set ablaze, with the now infamous Metal Gear Solid. The series itself spans the course of decades, and has sinc... Read Full Review

  In a scene between the game’s hero, Solid Snake, and Meryl Silverbough, a tragic, independent tom-boy who represents a not-so-surprising love interest, Snake says, “I never forget a lady.” The same could be said of a goo... Read Full Review
