Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes EGM review

Daedaelus · Feb 24th, 2004, 09:46 PM

Definetly not what I was expecting (GOTM, all 10s).

The game got an 8, 9, and 8.5 from EGM.

Quote:

...the levels were designed around the old A.I.; the relatively small rooms and lack of hiding places make getting away [from the new, smarter A.I.] overly difficult.

Here is another interesting quote, which I hope is not true:

Quote:

The ability to shoot in first-person view is another welcome feature, but it spoils the challenge of a few sections and completely ruins at least one boss battle.

Oh well... I'm getting it anyway.

*rocks back and forth*

Need Gamecube.Need Gamecube.Need Gamecube.

But is it surprising to see EGM give that kind of score?

do EGM give out such scores? if yes, discount anything they say, because only an idiot (or worse... a mindless fanperson) would ever give a game a full ten out of ten. To say something gets full marks is to say that its perfect: no game is perfect, because if it is, it isn't for long.

8, 9 and 8.5 sound VERY respectable to me...

I think Halo got all 10's from that magazine.

^ yep, Vice City also scored all 10s on EGM..

same here, but oh well i dont pay much attention to their review anyway.. this game will be mine.. two more weeks, cant wait !!

merylsilverburg · Feb 26th, 2004, 04:14 AM

And I believe the original Metal Gear for the PS1 got all 10's as well. Anyway, I also read the EGM article and I was kinda surprised about what they said too, but not too much. After all, it's kinda true if you think about it (especially the Revolver Ocelot battle).

I wonder what famitsu will give the game?

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (GC, Konami): 8 / 9 / 10 / 8 - Total 8,75

The commercial's pretty cool.

Oh and it's Korean.

Vic Viper · Mar 5th, 2004, 03:12 PM

there are 3 more commercials available for dl on the japanese Twin Snake website.

I have noticed that TWIN SNAKES is not getting the best of reviews... not to say that its getting bad reviews, but getting lower then the AVERAGE Metal Gear Score.

GameInformer gave it a 9.25. Which is pretty cool. And I can understand why its not getting the best of reveiws. I mean, common, they didn't even work on the "Codec" calls, its exact replica from the Playstation version. Thats just sad. I mean, they should have made that full 3D. And SHOULD have added new places and hiding spots and stuff like that.

Just what RESIDENT EVIL did........ it was a remake, but had so many new rooms and stuff. Twin Snakes doesn't have that.

But, I am going nuts over it anyway. .................. Seriously.

I can kinda understand why it isn't getting great reviews... after all, the game is, in fact, nothing more than a straight port. Sure SK added some elements from MGS2, but Twin Snakes is still just a port. I'm still hyped though...

Vic Viper · Mar 9th, 2004, 01:22 AM

ign gave it an 8.5.

not bad.

Vic Viper · Mar 9th, 2004, 12:29 PM

lamespot review 8.1

Vic Viper · Mar 9th, 2004, 01:13 PM

Beretta55 · Mar 10th, 2004, 05:58 PM

cool, hurry back for some impression will ya ..

im suppose to get my copy today but my local gamespot said they'll be getting the copies tomorrow.

Beretta55 · Mar 11th, 2004, 01:54 AM

I can sum this game up with two words.........Teh awesome

I'm really enjoying it i have seen the original MGS beaten but that was when it first released. So i really dont remember too much about this game. It may be a port with updated graphics and added MGS2 elements but its still alot of fun and worth 40 dollars to me in my book. I've clocked about 2 hours into it and i have barely just begun to scratch the surface of this game.....well im going to go play it now

Uchiha Sasuke · Mar 11th, 2004, 04:50 PM

Yeah I just got my copy today, even though I was spose to have it yesterday. So far I am in love with this game. Everything they have done is excellent. I don't care what the reviews say. In my book this game gets a 10.
