this game is not fun at all and i regret buying it. it sucks. its not like MGS for the playstation. save your money.
This is a must have for MGS fans and stealth action fans. Casual gamers will likely look elsewhere.
The games control do take some time getting used to coming from the PS2 version. I have followed the MGS series since MGS1 and this game continues the story from MGS3. It's amazing that this type of quality game in on a portable device. The story and gameplay are different which is great.This game is a must own and for me it was really tough to find because for some reason you cant but it new in store. I did get the PAL version and im glad because it got extra added stuff that the US version didn't have.
It makes you want to know more about the Metal Gear storyline/universe. Graphics, Sound, Control, and Replayability.Graphics: I don't know why, but this game's graphics seemed much sharper to me than Portable Ops Plus even though they should both be using the same graphics engine. By all means, BUY THIS GAME. I'm usually the type who doesn't even need a good story.
First off, I must admit that the game is much, much more enjoyable when there is an actual story to follow. Now, I own this one, and boy what a difference. Excellent work from Konami. But also, the camera will move into the strangest angles all too often and can be downright frustrating when you least need it to be.
It takes getting used to, but once you do it's okay.Replayability: There's a lot to be enjoyed with this game. The facial detail on Snake's face and suit are really impressive when you consider that all of this has been squeezed into a system as small as the PSP. I think the animated cut scenes lend an interesting feel to the story and help you get in the mood for the missions that you will embark on.Sound: The sound is good too. I have a feeling that certain things could have been done better, but I found it to be totally engrossing and nothing sounded cheap. I made the mistake of buying Portable Ops Plus first instead of this one.
I personally think that it's a small miracle that Konami pulled off what they have with the PSP, but there is room for improvement. The way the camera zooms in and out should be an option, not an automatic feature of movement. Even if the levels are limited in size, you feel as though there's a lot to do and discover. Again, the presence of a good story is such a big part of what makes this game so good. This is another high mark for this title.Control: This is probably the only area that I have a gripe, and I'm sure you can imagine why. It just helps to keep your interest, and helps you feel like your accomplishing something besides just wandering around at random.For this review, I'll just cover the basics of what most reviews do. I'll play a mindless shoot em up as quickly as anyone.
The music matches the feel of the combat/stealthy nature of the game. Moving Metal Gear to the PSP was undoubtedly a dificult task given the PSP's single analog joystick. But this title actually shines because of the story. Were it not for the control issues, I would have given it 5 stars.
This game is a must in the series and you should play them all in this order: Metal Gear Solid 3, MGS: PO (this game), MGS1, MGS2 and MGS4. The graphics are very good and so is the story that you expect from Kojima and his team.
This game is not as fun as others in the Metal Gear series. The problem isn't the game though, it's the PSP.
I'll get to the point very quickly. God of War: COO is the standard by which PS2 games should be ported or translated over to the PSP in every way.
Instead of Sony putting two analog controllers on the PSP, you have to alternate between it and the digital pad. This was a poor implementation by the developer.
There are other cool features like being able to connect to other PSPs in an Ad-Hoc environment and the story behind Big Boss and Outer Heaven. The story will be chronological this way and easier to follow.
