Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops - Sony PSP

Its a good game. Play it. But for the love of all that is holy, dont buy it for over a hundred dollars. Gamestop has it for cheap

I like the metal gear solid series when I got my first playstation and this is a perfect game with my collection.

Probably the most underrated Metal Gear game....well next to Metal Gear Solid 2. IMO So much better than Peace Walker. If you enjoyed the stealth gameplay from MGS3 THEN YOULL LOVE THIS! Interesting characters to recruit to your cause (in game bosses, famous metal gear characters, etc) , good boss fights...well at least imo better than the ones in Peace Walker. The story is good but I admit its not necessary to play this game to understand the series. However if youre interested in how Big Boss got the idea for Outer Heaven and how Foxhound was formed than get this game! Its a fun play!

While not as smooth as I would have expected a MGS game to play on the PSP, portable ops is still a solid experience. The cut scenes are great although they arent in game. Go check out meta critic for a more in dept reviews.

Im not really going to describe the game itself as you can find that on GameFaqs or IGN, but the product was sealed and no scratches to speak of. Game runs great! Thanks.

Ordered a used-like new copy of this game. I was very happy when it got here extremely fast but when I opened it the umd disk was in an off brand casing and as soon as I picked it up it fell apart and the disk came out

I didnt see that many reviews up yet for this game, so I will just give you a quick run down about what I have seen so far. Single Player. This is true Metal Gear sneaking action. Just think of the previous Metal Gears and you have it. Hiding under the beds, trucks, boxes, (Yes the cardboard boxes are here!) Knocking on walls to get soilders to come investagate. Choke holds... The whole nine yards. This game does it well. The only grip is the camera. I still have a hard time getting use to only having one analog stick, but its getting better. Its the basic PSP *hit the left shoulder button to straighten camera*. But you learn to use it. (There were countless times where I would walk around a corner right into an enemy) You just have to learn to be more patient and look around before you move. The way you can capture people and have them join your force is a really neat consept. If you need a medical person, go to the hospital, grab one and drag them back to your truck. You get to micro-manage your little army which I personally enjoy. You set what weapons you can have, items, rations, etc. Besides the little army you can amass, the only difference between this edition and the normal console metal gears is that the environments are much smaller. You move to areas on the map and there is a small environment with soliders and buildings that you work through.(Unlike the console metal gears that have vast open levels that you move through) I believe they worked the game like this so people could pick at the game in small pieces if they wanted to. So if you have a short break at work, you can pick it up and play a few levels and then shut her down. Online - Finally a PSP game that uses the internet instead of just the ad-hoc mode (which I still have never used!) I havent played to much of online play, but what I have has been great. Good game types, and no LAG at all. The cool thing about online play is that you use your small army from your single player. So what your guy uses in the single player, you use in the multi-player. Thats a really cool decision in my book, because it rewards the people that actually play the single player, and it make people play the single player so they understand it, before they jump online. Overall a great game that is worth the price of admission. I know that some PSP games have let you down in the past, but if you are looking for a SOLID title, do yourself and your PSP a favor, and pick this little bad boy up! All in all...Its a Metal Gear game... they havent let us down yet!

This Metal Gear Solid game is great one to add on to your psp game collection. If you are a MGS fan, you must own this game. It continues with the incredible saga. Great action game to entertain yourself on the psp.

I thought that I had never played this game before or at least finished it. I bought it after I realized that I never beat it and never played Peace Walker and TPP was announced and I knew I had to get through these games. Hideo does another great job here. I had a lot of fun even though the game play was different than what most expected out of a MGS games. Turns out by the end, I have beaten it in the past, I had just forgotten about it. Silly me. Still I am glad to own it again.

Its a fun game that has MGS3 mechanics backing up its core control. That means its fluid and fun even when confined to a PSP. While some might be put off by the process of building up your private army to combat the Fox unit I dont find that to be boring. Its story isnt super important but if you like this series and have a PSP then I recommend giving it a shot once.
