Much like the original Metal Gear Solid was met with acclaim from critics, The Twin Snakes received an 85.58% and 85/100 from GameRankings and Metacritic, respectively. The box includes the game itself a platinum-colored GameCube adorned with the FOXHOUND logo a 44-page book titled Memorandum containing production notes, sketches and photos and a GameCube disc called the 'Special Disc' containing an emulated version of the Family Computer version of the original Metal Gear. In Japan The Twin Snakes was released on March 11 alongside an exclusive Premium Package. The European date was pushed back several weeks. It was originally to be released in November 2003, but was pushed back, along with the other versions. The Twin Snakes was released on Main North America. Mei Ling, Nastasha Romanenko, and Naomi Hunter speak with American accents in The Twin Snakes, whereas in the original Metal Gear Solid, they spoke with Chinese, Ukrainian, and British accents, respectively. The revised voice acting is used in Metal Gear Solid 4 during Snake's reminiscence as the English-language voice-recording used in the original game was not recorded in a sound-proof studio. However, in The Twin Snakes, Greg Eagles voices only Anderson, whereas Gray Fox was voiced by Rob Paulsen. In the original game, Gray Fox and Donald Anderson were both voiced by Greg Eagles. The main reason for the re-recording, according to an interview with Hayter, was because the increased audio quality allowed by the GameCube picked up outside noise from the original recordings that were inaudible in the PlayStation version. David Hayter, the English voice of Solid Snake, persuaded Konami Computer Entertainment Japan to have the original voice cast reprise their roles. The voice acting was re-recorded with the original cast from Metal Gear Solid, except for the role of the Cyborg Ninja. The game's composition duties were split: some of the in-game music was handled by Steve Henifin and Silicon Knights' music staff, while the rest of the music (in-game, menus and cut scenes) was handled by Konami's music staff, including Metal Gear Solid 2 co-composer Norihiko Hibino. ДЄlthough The Twin Snakes was largely developed at Silicon Knights, Ryuhei Kitamura directed many of the game's cinematics while Silicon Knights implemented them into the game to look identical to those in the original Metal Gear Solid, but upon inspection Hideo Kojima asked Kitamura to redo them in his well-known action style. The Twin Snakes was first announced in 2003 by Nintendo of America, confirming that Silicon Knights would be developing under the guidance of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Enemy AI was improved, giving enemy soldiers the ability to communicate with each other and detect the player more intelligently with senses of sight and sound enhanced.

While all of the original areas and enemies were kept, new ways for the player to combat them were introduced, such as the ability to shoot from a first-person view.

The gameplay of The Twin Snakes was altered to resemble that of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Snake fires at Gray Fox from a first-person perspective.
