Have you ever played the Gamecube remake titled "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes"? It's basically the same game, but with graphical/cutscene enhancements galore, redone voice acting (with all the original actors), and all the original game crew.
As for the original, I only played a demo of it that went as far as the part where the DARPA chief dies of a heart attack. I really wanted to see beyond that part, and that's when I discovered there was a remake of the same game on the Gamecube.
Oh believe me Aqualung, if there ever is a Videogame Hall of Fame, you can bank your mother's life that this game will be in it.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, as it's been quite some time since I've played this masterpiece, but I don't think Campbell "banged his brother's wife", as you so eloquently put it (lol), but I think he was just revealing that he was simply Meryl's father the whole time. I could be wrong, as it makes no sense why he'd use "Mery'ls my neice" as a cover. hmmm...
Yep, epic review is epic. This and Final Fantasy VII, and Parasite Eve were the first Playstation games I ever played/owned. Needless to say, I had one helluvan introduction to the effin' giant that was the Playstation. Ahh, the good ol' days. What a magical time.
Just a word of advice though, you can get the Body Armor much earlier than stated in this vid, by going back to the first hangar and using a card (i'm not sure where), it helps a great deal for the stair chase sequence. 10 Stars sir.
I know it may require a truck load of editing footage and a lot of hard work and effort but I think maybe one day you can review a Zelda game. Though I would imagine a video of that magnitude taking a long time to make considering most of those games are freaking huge except for possibly the two NES titles.
good job on the review/walkthrough but for those who still have yet to play through this classic, I highly recommend not even using a guide or go to gamefaqs dot com and look for a spoiler free guide.
i wonder if he knew that if you keep you distance you could use the nakita missiles on sniper wolf and vulcan raven and you could use grenades on sniper wolf
One thing I cannot get over is how simply incredible the voice acting is in this game. Seriously! It's sounds totally believable! It's better than most games today let alone back in 1998! True master-piece of a game.
Bit of advice for the final jeep section - switch to first person view. You have to hold the buttons in kind of a funny way, but it makes shooting everything SUPREMELY easier.
AL, you did a walkthrough/review on MGS1!? I can't believe that it's been here for over a month and I wasn't even aware of it until now. You should do a walkthrough/review on Snatcher in the near-future as well as the fan-translated English version of Policenauts.
You should pitch your work to thatguywiththeglasses because it's the greatest collection of reviews on the internet. It's also a haven for people who have been unfairly persecuted by youtube *coughs*TomSawyerReview.
Also, at a point in playing, I recall I was actually able to get damage into Psycho Mantis while using port one. I could never kill him, but I almost did! Way too time consuming though...
If you punch Meryl when the wolves are around you and then quickly equip a box, a wolf will come up and piss on the box and it acts just like Sniper Wolf's handkerchief.
@hellsbrethren If your videos get popular enough, you can upload videos longer than 15 minutes, as long as you don't have any guideline or copyright strikes.
I love how certain plot points of this game were used as an extension in Dead Rising during Overtime Mode. Not gonna spoil anything for anyone who hasn't played the original Dead Rising or unlocked Overtime Mode yet, though. So I wont go into details. But the references are clear as day.
32:06 It would be funny if after you defeated Liquid, you contact Miller and Miller looked bruised and battered, and Snake asks, "What happened do you?" and Miller would just say, "Errm... I hurt myself doing yoga..." or something like that.
34:14 You can also use the stinger missiles on Sniper Wolf.
35:50 Snake falls to his death. "ARRRRGHHHH!!!!" Guard: "Huh? What was that noise?" LOL
06:30 This cutscene is the reason why I like using the 2nd floor duct. I like the foreshadowing it provides.
08:08 I love the way that's edited. I dunno if that was intentional or not. You say that Snake thinks information is being withheld, and Campbell says, "Absolutely not!" LIES!
29:01 Question, can you still go up that ladder if guards are chasing you?
@InvaderPet Yeah you can still climb the ladder. It'll be more difficult though as the guards will stop to open fire right away so you may end up taking a lot more damage if you don't stay ahead of them.
This is my all-time favorite PlayStation game ever. Even though I've played it, I still love watching reviews, or walkthroughs. It's interesting to see other people play this, how they play it, and their comments.
I hate to admit it but until i saw this I never once beat MGS, now that I watched then beat it I feel a little better...I like how it knew I had a Castlevania save, that was cool.
There was another "rule" that the game had about Ocelot's torture chamber:
According to Ocelot if you were to use a controller with a turbo feature he would know and the game would end then. I have beaten this game many times(with using the turbo no less) and it turns out that is a lie. Not sure why he said it but I think it was one of Kojima's little tricks to see how far the player would go to try and survive the torture
wow i amazed you didn't give reference why you had to look at of the cd case. Wasn't this the games way of anti piracy? I mean why give such a vague clue "back of the cd case" wouldn't it have made more sense if they said "back of your video game CD case" for the longest time I was looking for a CD Case item lol
@ultimacj same as me! i got stuck there, the first time i played MGS, i had it pirate, i dont remember what i exactly did, but i think i was calling random numbers on the codec untill i found meryls number, lol. man, when i was a kid i had a lot of patience xD
@dakatubes I had the game legit but I totally didn't know what the heck they meant by CD Case also at the same time when you get that data disc i thought THAT was the CD. That was very obsure
and a @ Aqua i automatically knew you'd give the game 5/5. Fantastic video and very well put. If this was the first time I played this game, this would be the video walkthrough I'd use.
A+? mmm... a bit generous I feel, Thief 2 is probably the only stealth game that should be awarded A+, but hey it's your opinion. Ah yes congratulations on 10,000 subscribers.
Well done on the walkthrough as usual. Actually, I've only ever played the Twin Snakes version of this game but I'm impressed by how good the cut-scenes looked already in the PSX version. I personally enjoyed the over-the-top additions and the voice-acting in the new version, but the point is, it's a great game regardless of which version you play.
Great review/walkthrough. Like somebody else commented, I've always used nikita missiles in the second Sniper Wolf battle >X). It always cracked me up seeing her death scene, somehow riddled with bullet wounds though I only shot her with missiles. Also, first time I learned I had to go back for the sniper rifle, I turned the game off for like a month out of anger = p
This may only be in the remake, but I think you can hide under the bed when the guard is gone instead of using the ketchup and he'll still run into the cell.
A few more tips: Staring at meryl before the Psycho Mantis fight yields some amusing dialogue. During the fight, you can attack the stone bust instead of switching controller ports. If you run out of Diazepam, you can switch in cigarettes to steady your aim. In the 2nd fight against Sniper Wolf you can use Nikitas instead of the PSG-1. On the elevator ride down to Vulcan Raven, you can attack the crows for some interesting dialogue. Also, dont let Rex step on you, its an instant kill.
A few tips, you can kill guards while unarmed. Just sneak up to them and hit the weapon button rapidly. In addition to being silent, sometimes they drop items. If you have rations equipped when you run out of health its used automatically.In the shaft leading to the DARPA chief with Meryl, you can exit and enter the shaft to have her change exercise routines (and clothing). When you get the nikita launcher, you can also use it to destroy most security cameras.
22:28 For the wolf part, just go in your box, they will piss on it and you will be safe to move without them attacking you...because they pissed on you.
Upon opening this video I saw 55 minutes at the bottom and said there's no way I'm staying for a review on a game that I played in middle school, boy was I wrong. I made it through the entire video with a smile on my face because you did such a thorough job of breaking down the game, and keeping me entertained at the same time. You should look back on this one day, and be proud sir. Great job.
A bug in the PC version of MGS helped me to figure out a better way of getting up the flights of stairs in the communications tower when being pursued by soldiers. The bug that I'm referring to involves the FAMAS firing incorrectly while on the stairs in the PC version. Snake fires straight upwards, which is useless. All you need to do to get through this area, though, is use stun grenades. Toss one every two or three sets of stairs, and you'll coast on through.
Excellent work, you did a great job with the whole thing. I love this game and I have both the original and Twin Snakes. Though I do agree the some of the voice acting isn't as strong and they really should have kept the accents I still really enjoyed the game and play it every so often.
As for some cut scenes being over the top it's true but some of the changes I liked. I looked into it and they planned on making the scenes the same but Kojima told them no and the make the game their own.
Also, you shouldn't have said tjat Ocelot is speaking to Solidus wich is the president of the united State. Since you know that only in MGS 2 it's kind of a spoiler there. (I personally never played MGS2 and didn't know that solidus was th president.)
@maximino27 The Twin Snakes remake on GameCube, as mentioned in the video. I do think it's about time that the remake got re-released on newer systems though.
Well, I dunno about PS1 version but using Thermal goggles and staying on ground till you get a clear shot at mantis makes this boss stupid easy. He can't hit you with any of the objects.
Metal Gear Solid is, most definitely, one of the best games of all time and, arguably THE best. It's combination of story, action, game play, and all the rest make it a crowning achievement in gaming that set the tone for generations to come and showing the world what a mad genius Kojima is, lol.
For me personally, in all my years of gaming, this is one game I'm proud to say I've finished. It always give me a rush, even after all these years. It's not my overall favorite, but I'd say it's #2.
@maximino27 Final Fantasy 2/4. It's the game that basically made me a gamer and turned RPGs into my favorite genre. That's an experience that's never gotten old, even after finishing it 20+times, lol.
I love the soundtrack to this game. Highly underrated when put up against it's more elaborately orchestrated sequels. I like the stripped down, atmospheric vibes the music gave the scenery of this game.
I loved The Twin Snakes but I agree with you when you say it would have been better off without the matrix bullshit. I loved that Snake in twin snakes played a little more like Big Boss in Snake Eater.
Awesome Review/Walkthrough! I never got past the disk change, because right around there I saved and stopped playing for the day and the next day, BOOM, memorycard corrupted and I lost all my data (including my FF VII saves FOR THE SECOND TIME). I was SO pissed of that I didn't play any PS1 games for 3 months and now I just don't want to play it. I'm rambling again, aren't I!
this couldnt of been easy to do bcuz of the length of this game and this game being hard(or at least i always thought so), thanks for the dedication to ur fans
The ninja can also be beaten with claymore mines and will actually call you out on this.
Psycho Mantis can be weakened by destroying the two statues in the room.
When fighting Vulcan Raven the second time, Nikita missiles can be used to damage him while staying out of his sight. Also, you can keep your rations from freezing by keeping them equipped.
Although not mentioned in this game, it's mentioned in the epilogue in Metal Gear Solid 2's special features, that Naomi escaped, and Jim Houseman took his own life.
38:20 Other effective (and safer) ways of taking on Raven are Nikita Missiles, and studying his paths and setting up Claymores (which should be plentiful since you have to collect them so damned often)
First, I like your reviews, and your reviewing style. Adding tidbits of history on the games you review is a nice touch. Second, I am doing a walk through for Illusion of Gaia on the snes, but I can't upload more than fifteen minutes woth of video. How did you get around that?
Wow! That was impressive! Nicely done! I haven't played this game for years and damn I wish I had it I always thought the Metal Gear games where a mind fuck as you play especially MGS 2 When the Colonel starts telling you "Honestly you have been playing the game for a long time now maybe you should take a break." The first time I heard that I was so scared I actually turned the game off but luckily I saved but like you said earlier that's what Hideo Kajima was going for and it worked.
There are a couple of alternate methods for beating the later bosses that you didn't mention. The 2nd time you face Sniper Wolf, in the snow field, you can also crouch down behind the right-side hill and use Nikita (remote control) missiles. You can also use those Nikitas against Vulcan Raven to fly around behind him, although that's easier said than done.
not that I'm aware of and I've beaten this game A LOT! Granted it was all on easy but I beat the damn thing 15 times(I kept track) and enjoyed this game a lot. I think it only gets altered depending on if you give up in the torture chamber or not
Believe it or not I wasn't a fan of the Metal Gear series until this game. Not that the NES game that I played was bad or anything but I just really didn't see the appeal...little did I know that years later when this game appeared on the PS1 that it would quickly become my most addicting game of all time outside of Mega Man 3
Have you ever played the Gamecube remake titled "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes"? It's basically the same game, but with graphical/cutscene enhancements galore, redone voice acting (with all the original actors), and all the original game crew.
As for the original, I only played a demo of it that went as far as the part where the DARPA chief dies of a heart attack. I really wanted to see beyond that part, and that's when I discovered there was a remake of the same game on the Gamecube.

I made it through the entire video with a smile on my face because you did such a thorough job of breaking down the game, and keeping me entertained at the same time. You should look back on this one day, and be proud sir. Great job.

By the way, I had no idea that you could actually force Meryl to go to the restroom sooner. I usually just waited for her to go in on her own.

A bug in the PC version of MGS helped me to figure out a better way of getting up the flights of stairs in the communications tower when being pursued by soldiers. The bug that I'm referring to involves the FAMAS firing incorrectly while on the stairs in the PC version. Snake fires straight upwards, which is useless. All you need to do to get through this area, though, is use stun grenades. Toss one every two or three sets of stairs, and you'll coast on through.

Excellent work, you did a great job with the whole thing. I love this game and I have both the original and Twin Snakes. Though I do agree the some of the voice acting isn't as strong and they really should have kept the accents I still really enjoyed the game and play it every so often.
As for some cut scenes being over the top it's true but some of the changes I liked. I looked into it and they planned on making the scenes the same but Kojima told them no and the make the game their own.

Also, you shouldn't have said tjat Ocelot is speaking to Solidus wich is the president of the united State. Since you know that only in MGS 2 it's kind of a spoiler there. (I personally never played MGS2 and didn't know that solidus was th president.)
Arc111111 7 months ago
@Arc111111 It wasn't a spoiler, he calls him "the third one, Solidus" and then finishes off the conversation addressing him as "Mr. President"

@maximino27 The Twin Snakes remake on GameCube, as mentioned in the video. I do think it's about time that the remake got re-released on newer systems though.

Well, I dunno about PS1 version but using Thermal goggles and staying on ground till you get a clear shot at mantis makes this boss stupid easy. He can't hit you with any of the objects.

Metal Gear Solid is, most definitely, one of the best games of all time and, arguably THE best. It's combination of story, action, game play, and all the rest make it a crowning achievement in gaming that set the tone for generations to come and showing the world what a mad genius Kojima is, lol.
For me personally, in all my years of gaming, this is one game I'm proud to say I've finished. It always give me a rush, even after all these years. It's not my overall favorite, but I'd say it's #2.
WillSerenity 7 months ago
@WillSerenity What would be your #1?
maximino27 7 months ago
@maximino27 Final Fantasy 2/4. It's the game that basically made me a gamer and turned RPGs into my favorite genre. That's an experience that's never gotten old, even after finishing it 20+times, lol.

I loved The Twin Snakes but I agree with you when you say it would have been better off without the matrix bullshit. I loved that Snake in twin snakes played a little more like Big Boss in Snake Eater.

Awesome Review/Walkthrough! I never got past the disk change, because right around there I saved and stopped playing for the day and the next day, BOOM, memorycard corrupted and I lost all my data (including my FF VII saves FOR THE SECOND TIME). I was SO pissed of that I didn't play any PS1 games for 3 months and now I just don't want to play it. I'm rambling again, aren't I!
Awesome game, equally awesome review!

Couple of things you missed.
The ninja can also be beaten with claymore mines and will actually call you out on this.
Psycho Mantis can be weakened by destroying the two statues in the room.
When fighting Vulcan Raven the second time, Nikita missiles can be used to damage him while staying out of his sight. Also, you can keep your rations from freezing by keeping them equipped.

38:20 Other effective (and safer) ways of taking on Raven are Nikita Missiles, and studying his paths and setting up Claymores (which should be plentiful since you have to collect them so damned often)

First, I like your reviews, and your reviewing style. Adding tidbits of history on the games you review is a nice touch. Second, I am doing a walk through for Illusion of Gaia on the snes, but I can't upload more than fifteen minutes woth of video. How did you get around that?
Sentientsword 7 months ago
Wow! That was impressive! Nicely done! I haven't played this game for years and damn I wish I had it I always thought the Metal Gear games where a mind fuck as you play especially MGS 2 When the Colonel starts telling you "Honestly you have been playing the game for a long time now maybe you should take a break." The first time I heard that I was so scared I actually turned the game off but luckily I saved but like you said earlier that's what Hideo Kajima was going for and it worked.

There are a couple of alternate methods for beating the later bosses that you didn't mention. The 2nd time you face Sniper Wolf, in the snow field, you can also crouch down behind the right-side hill and use Nikita (remote control) missiles. You can also use those Nikitas against Vulcan Raven to fly around behind him, although that's easier said than done.

not that I'm aware of and I've beaten this game A LOT! Granted it was all on easy but I beat the damn thing 15 times(I kept track) and enjoyed this game a lot. I think it only gets altered depending on if you give up in the torture chamber or not

not a problem.
Believe it or not I wasn't a fan of the Metal Gear series until this game. Not that the NES game that I played was bad or anything but I just really didn't see the appeal...little did I know that years later when this game appeared on the PS1 that it would quickly become my most addicting game of all time outside of Mega Man 3
have a good one

@jacobholdcroft No, only giving up.
if you give up, you get Stealth Camo.
If you don't you'll get the Infinite Ammo Headband.
