This remake does a lot of nice things for the original mgs but also does a lot of things I don't like. The tone feels entirely different at times, focusing way to much on action shots compared to the original. The mgs2 controls overall do make the game nicer to play, but stuff like the first person aiming can really make the game way easier than originally designed. Overall give this a try if you want, but PLEASE play the original before even thinking of playing this version. I feel this differs too much from the original mgs in tone and presentation to be the only version experienced.
