Hear more Kiefer Sutherland as Snake in Ground Zeroes video

The English version of one you've already seen.

"THERE ISN'T TIME, NINA!"

"TERI!"

"KIM!"

All historic quotes from the snarling lips of Kiefer Sutherland in his role as productive CTU agent Jack Bauer. And now he's landed a new role: Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5.

He's elbowed out long-running voice-of-snake, David Hayter, much to some people's displeasure. But who is best?

There haven't been many excerpts of Sutherland as Snake to judge his performance on. But here's another: the English version of the Ground Zeroes opening scene. We saw the Japanese version at PAX last September.

Ground Zeroes, if you recall, is the prologue to Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
