Original MGS >>>>>>>>>> Twin Snakes
This man speaks the truth..
The original Metal Gear Solid PSX/PSone is the one to play if you are new to the series.
Of course the 32-bit graphics may put off some younger gamers winged on PS2 and Xbox
From Wikipedia about the Twin Snakes Remake on Gamecube:
--------------------------------------------------------
The Twin Snakes received mostly positive reviews from critics [1], though the scores it was given were slightly lower than those given to original Metal Gear titles such as Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty [2] and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater [3]. Metal Gear fans generally agreed it was a quality title, but not one without flaws.[citation needed]
Most of the criticism stemmed from the fact that the structure of the original game was not designed for features from Metal Gear Solid 2 that were included,[citation needed] such as the ability to fire weapons in first-person mode (making what some already called an easy game even easier), hang from ledges, and hide bodies in lockers. The boss Revolver Ocelot, for instance can be defeated with four shots to his head in moments, whereas in the original game he took significantly longer to beat.
Also, some were disappointed with the direction of the new cut-scenes,[citation needed] despite the fact that Ryuhei Kitamura was hand-picked by Hideo Kojima to direct the cinematics. One particularly controversial cutscene involves Snake and Meryl standing for ten seconds just watching what is obviously a sniper's laser sight dancing over Meryl's body.[citation needed] However, proponents argue that the style of the new cut-scenes are more similar to the over-the-top nature of the rest of the franchise.[citation needed]
Metal Gear Solid purists however make a counter-argument against the characterization of Solid Snake. In this particular remake, Snake is portrayed as an acrobatic show-off as opposed to the down-to-earth hero portrayed in Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, and Metal Gear Solid 2.
