Konami's new Snake Eater remake is the best way to now experience Metal Gear Solid 3, but it could have been even better.

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.

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