The soundtrack wasn't as good and the people who had accents lost it in this one (which was later considered as canon in the later games).

While the story, dialogue, and general level design are essentially the same, like I said, the gameplay itself has had a major update, to include the improvements made in MGS2. (First person aiming, non-lethal weapons, shooting around corners, slow-walking, etc etc.)

And yeah, Mei Ling and Naomi have American accents in Twin Snakes and Guns of the Patriots. And it doesn't really make sense for them not to; Mei Ling was born and raised in the US and Naomi lived in the US since she was a young child.

if you have access to both play the playstation version first then twin snakes, the story is the same but the gameplay in twin snakes is better & there are extras. But if you can only pick one then Twin Snakes cause the controls and Voice Acting are better. And just to try and end the "is it cannon" debate, according to the MGS database on the PS3 the PS version is the official cannon game. Yes They are both the same thing but when ever they reference anything from shadow mosses it shows PS1 screens and events.

Except in MGS4, visual flashbacks are from PS1, audio flashbacks are from Twin Snakes. Likewise, Naomi and Mei Ling continue to use their American accents.

And who is arguing about canon here? There is no contradictory storytelling, so they're both canon.
