Actually some metal gear fans I know praised the Gamecube version of the game, saying it was a pretty good remake and somewhat way more enjoyable in that time because of the updated graphics. I even got a friend whou didn't own a Gamecube and the borrowed mine to play the game he bought himself and still has it for collection.
You have to take in consideration the time it arrives too. MGS was the best and the most awesome militarystealth game back in the time. Just like Super Mario Bros., Halo and Ocarina of Time. People tend to refer to them as the best games ever because of the impact back in the time.
But yeah, you can always disagree.
