Snake Eater is a faithful remake that is too afraid of its own legacy to take any risks.” With series visionary and creator Hideo Kojima out of the picture, Konami chose the route of a shot-for-shot remake with almost no creative liberties.

Beyond the story, the well-loved minigame "Snake vs. Monkey" makes a return. Delta also boasts a nice suite of options, too, including some unexpected notables such as the ability to customize the user interface (UI) and a handful of subtitle choices, too.

Snake Eater is the best kind of remake, one which preserves the original's charm while bringing it up to speed for modern audiences.
