Yes thats part of it. The levels in Metal Gear Solid 1 were not designed to be used with Metal Gear Solid 2's control system. You can often enter a room, go into first person view and tranq every guard in the area before moving on. It completly throws everything off balance.Originally Posted by Lindy
Not to mention the terrible, terrible cutscenes. Snake does about 5 backflips throughout the game, one on to a missile. The director just did everything over the top and that really doesn't suit Snake as a character. And seeing as Metal Gear Solid is around 50% story and cutscenes thats not a good thing.
I guess its down to opinion really. Enough people hate the twin snakes for it to be widley accepted as terrible but some people think its much better than the original. Go figure.
