What I don't like about this game so much is that you have to recruit soldiers before you start really playing the game. After that, get ready for some actions, and the good story. Don't get the Metal Gear Portable Plus, get this one first. With the Plus you will miss the whole story and much more. If you like this game, try Syphon Filter too (you won't have to recruit to start playing the real game).

A solid Metal Gear for a portable.

I love the series so I decided to pick this up and I enjoy it. The controls are a tad off being that its on the cumbersome PSP, because the movement of character and camera angle are on the same side! The shotting in First Person mode is not as precise when trying to aim at the solider's head. Other than that, graphics are quite amazing, with very good 1970's spy music, cutscenes and voice acting are still top notch and the whole recruiting soliders from the enemy force is a new and fresh addition to the series, which takes place 6 years after the operation Snake Eater incident. As stated before, the other bothersome thing about this game are the controls, otherwise, its still excellent.

Classic Metal Gear in Your Hand

This game keeps me alive when I travel. Although gameplay can sometimes be irritatingly hard, a fantastic storyline and great online play makes this a worthy buy. Game sharing is included. This is classic Metal Gear in the palm of your hand. Follow the legendary soldier Naked Snake as he saves the world.

SOLID PORTABLE

Pros: Yet another great Metal Gear Solid game from Kojima, visually impressive, artistic cut scenes, solid voice acting, excellent story.

Cons: Shifts emphasis from lone stealth mission game to commander with squad, controls different compared to ps2 controls but you get use to it, bosses can be difficult/unforgiving but are not impossible.

If you are a fan of Kojima's work or are a Metal Gear Solid fan, you can't go wrong with this game. The game still includes the aspect of completing missions using stealth and weapons but because of the new squadron system in place, you also use some Real Time Strategy tactics in how you pick members you want to use for missions. The controls for the game are designed to balance with the level of difficulty the game presents-in other words-"the mechanics fit the gameplay". There is a learning curve for how the game plays out and not all of the functions for the game are presented to the user, either in-game or manual, but these things can easily be looked up in places such as [...] or such. And these items are not essential to the overall gameplay experience, more like helpful tips for example the trick with pulling recruits to your hiding boxes rather than all the way back to the truck.

But this game is a worthy addition to any MGS collection or playing experience. I bought this game because I wanted a story, whereas the MGSPO+ is a multiplayer expansion, no "story" just gameplay. I'm proud I own a copy. Hope this was helpful.

If you like the MGS series, you will like this game

The game follows Metal Gear Snake Eater, and it it gives you back story of big boss (aka naked snake). The game incorporates a feature which allows you to recruit enemy soldiers after they have been interrogated by your team to help you along your mission(s). With the enemy soldiers you can put together multiple sneaking units to do the missions, spy units to uncover more details of the map, a medical unit to research life recovery and stamina recovery supplies, and a tech unit to research and develop new weapons for your convenience.

Metal Gear Portable Ops' camera is hard to get use to at first, but it can be controlled and adjusted with the D-pad. The Boss battles in the game aren't too complex, but they pose quite a challenge for the player. Overall the game has a great story, good strategic game play, new interesting characters, and awesome graphic novel (comic style) cut scenes with audio over it. The cut scenes aren't nearly as long as an average MGS cut scene on any other of the games in the series, but the length is necessary because they all get straight to the point. Overall, the game is an excellent game for MGS fans, or for anyone that likes stealth mission based games.

MGS PO The Reazon behind Outer Heaven

Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops its really a new experience. The controls, in firts place, are not so complicated as people use to say, and you get use to it with less effort. The history is just what you expect from a MGS game, and if you're fan of BIG BOSS (like I am) you have to buy it, for the plot that lead it, and to find your call.

I was disapointed about this game in two aspects:
-First, the graphics are really nice, but there's an error in the eyes, that don't blink... That's a little annoying for me, that like to look the graphics and the faces. The expresions are statics, but the general graphics try to emulate as good as posible in the psp plataform the graphics of MGS3.
-The other subject is the thing that they DON'T allways talk, they talk just in the story/comic like cuts and, because of I played the ps and ps2 ones I see that talking was a seal of MGS, I was just especting the same. You can live with it, the story/comic cuts are really nice and original, kinda annoy sometimes, but you'll love other parts when they just blow it up :3

So basically, it's a great game. The online mode is kinda fun, and the way you can recruit and use soldiers from the enemy makes a good Idea how foxhound was build, and how Boss became a leader. Outer heaven is what was build after this plot, so if you love this history, buy it for sake.

Another great Metal Gear Solid title

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.

The game starts off relatively quick, that is by MGS standards,you're Big Boss aka Naked Snake and you have just been captured by a rogue special ops group known as "FOX." Your main objective in the game is to take down whoever started the insurrection to clear your name. The control scheme of the game will take some time to get used to, but that and the some camera issues are the only obstacles in the game. What's going for it, the garphics (for a PSP game), voice acting, and story are all top notch.
Although not the best game in the series, it is certainly a must own for all PSP owners.
