It's quite noticeable that Silicon Knights took a lot of shortcuts. Just look at Snake's weapons...

The game looks good, but it's 2004 now, and the Gamecube's supposed to be superior to the PS2, right?

Just goes to show that this would have been a better looking game if Kojima's team were directly involved in it.

It's obvious that not a lot of love went into the development of this game.

It's only good because it's a remake of a classic. Strip down everything related to Metal Gear, and you'd end up with a game with mediocre graphics.

Also, I don't know if it's like this with other Cube titles, since this game is the only game I have for the Cube, but the game looks somewhat like a compressed mpeg file.

I just think that Silicon Knights were rushed a little bit and they didn't focus their time in the right areas. They tried to get all the little details into the game's graphics, but they didn't do their best to make it look as realistic as they could, when it should have been the other way around. The codec cut-scenes they didn't even work on purely to save time. You can't tell me they didn't because I watch the codec scenes and a lot of times the animation of the characters doesn't match what the character is supposed to be saying. I noticed in the codec sequences that a lot of times when the "..." just pops up on the screen as to trigger akward silence, I see the characters mouths moving as if they were talking, but no words were coming out! That element proves that they were obviously a little rushed. I love the game because it captures the magic of the classic in most ways, but some of the small things hold it back from being what it could've been. The Resident Evil remake was not only the greatest remake of all time, but it actually surpassed the original in terms of impact. The REmake left more of an impact on me than the original RE itself. The Twin Snakes did not have the same affect, and I didn't expect it to, but I expected it to be a little better than it was. I still love it though, it's absolutely amazing. Easily the best game I've played this month.

this is one of the few GC titles with lots of cut scenes, though i'm not sure what you mean by it looks like an mpeg file. all i have to say is go buy metroid prime, and you will be in for a VERY pleasant suprise

If i remember correctly the original wasn't lip synced either, Konami always used the Japanese version of the codec screens. Besides, i liked the old codec messages. I did expect new 3d ones, but leaving those in was good for a nostalgic feeling.
