I do hope it's not the original MGS, or if it is, it is remastered completely. A fantastic game for its time, but now it's dated to the point of unplayability.

This is ridiculous, are you such a graphics whore that you refuse to play one of the greatest games of all time? MGS still looks awesome to this day. It looks about as good as early PS2 games, quite an amazing feat. I too do hope it's the Twin Snakes as I haven't played it and it would be awesome to play it remastered but the original is amazing and to claim it's "unplayable" is utterly ridiculous.

I don't care about the graphics. Yes, the game looks hideous, but that's quite besides the point.

It controls like a 13 year old game. Developers didn't know how to deal with 3D. The checkpoint system hadn't really been established. Unskippable and unpausable half-hour cutscenes were the norm. The AI is pathetic. The stealth is extraordinarily simplistic.

For a 1998 game, it was brilliant. It was near perfection. But standards change in gaming, and the original MGS really doesn't live up to today's measures of a good game.
