5. Twin Snakes' Insane Cutscenes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoxMYHpMqT4 Of course, you can't explore the crazy, over-the-top world of Metal Gear Solid without looking at The Twin Snakes, easily the most insane addition to the series. A remade version of the original MGS released for the GameCube, Twin Snakes remains the most divisive game in the franchise to date. Generally speaking, the gameplay additions (mostly borrowed from Metal Gear Solid 2) added a new dimension to the original PlayStation title and made it feel fresh and exciting - you'll find few people complaining about those. Instead, it's the bonkers cutscenes which drove fans wild. Nearly every one sees somebody performing a ridiculous stunt (like Gray Fox destroying an entire room with a lone sword) as well as the voice acting and dialogue receiving a mixed reception too - Snake's overreaction to some events has to be seen to be believed. Most infamously of all, the Hind-D gunship boss fight sees Snake land on a moving rocket, leap off said rocket and then fire his own missile at enemy Liquid's chopper while still in mid-air suspension. It's one of the most ridiculous sequences ever seen in any of Kojima's titles and fans have always upheld this one scene as a reason to hate Twin Snakes. Regardless, it's still well worth playing through the remake to judge for yourself - just don't be surprised if you find yourself face-palming one, two or ten times.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
