No no, don't get me wrong! I play games if they get 8 or above from IGN and EGM. It's simply that Twin Snakes is a remake of a game that came out <B>five years ago</B>. There was no need to make it, and I wasn't counting on playing it unless it was a mind-breaking, spectacularly new experience. I played through Metal Gear Solid 6 times, and I really don't feel like doing it again to see a few bullet-time effects. Now that every damned reviewer that I've read has said that this is for first-timers to MGS, I think I'll pass. I've actually read that the older gameplay level designs has conflicts with the new gameplay mechanics which cause frustration. I don't want a perfect experience from a videogame to be tarnished with a remake that just adds better graphics. Some people do; I imagine it will be the same people that played Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. I'd rather spend my money on a new experience.

The game is obviously good, just look at the good scores it's getting! I simply don't want to play through MGS again for newer graphics. I wanted Silicon Knights to design this remake so it'll seem refreshing to those who played the first one a lot, but it doesn't seem that it happened.
