Badr90s6 October 2021The best PSP game, it's a peace of art, a full main link to the series story got told by a unique art style cinamatics and great linear gameplay + challenging bossfights, the soundtrack and characters, the cassettes and all the moments in this game including the ending gives it the title I mentioned.

nildsenmbarbosa23 December 2019This one is fantastic, the plot is amazing and the gameplay feel good, of course considering the HD version for PS3, that made the original even better. Just one let down, the level design is not that great in normal levels and in boss fights, the main reason for that is the PSP, a console not that potent and the maps are smaller than the usual.

We've been living with the MGS series for quite sometime now and we were intrigued to find out the story behind Big Boss and the cold war. We played MGS 3 but it wasn't enough, we wanted more, and after the direct and simple MGS Portable Ops, we still wanted more...
Now here comes Peace Walker with full glory in everything. Expect the highest graphics for the PSP, Beautifully shaded and built environments and consistent frame-rate. You'll manage an entire army and this time around you get to recruit people to your base using the Fulton Recovery System which uses a hot-air balloon with the help of a chopper to send the soldiers back to the base (A HUGE improvement from the usual dragging of Portable Ops by the way)...
I won't say much cause then I'd be spoiling a major one and a special one to play, but know this. If you don't get Peace Walker right now (fan of the series or not) you'd be missing one hell of an experience on the go... -
gavijayawardene26 October 2014this is my 1st Metal gear solid game and it is a masterpiece to me this game was just awesome that's all i can say and this is the 1st game made me cry. the game-play and controls are a bit missed compared what the other metal gear solid games can do but for a PSP game it is ball blasting. I can play this game for years over and over again without getting bored.the story is spectacular boss battles even better and of course the person who changed my life and taught me to be an honorable man is Big Boss aka Snake this character is just pure awesome trust me, the game is definitely a masterpiece go play it on your PSP now. oh yeah play this game in order like 3,PW,5,1,2,4

agentt-056385 December 2021The Kojima productions team decided to make full fledged Metal gear solid game for PSP and it was a great move.
Story - I love how the story is probably the first in Metal gear saga, that is more character driven, than story driven. It gives it a new take on characters and their development. The whole cast feels like a family and you dont want to leave them. This is the most Uncharted like Metal gear and tbh i quite like it. The weakest part about the story is the main villian Hot Coldman (I kid you not, this is his real name), but everything else is amazing. The game same as Portable ops has a comic stylised cutscenes. In Portable ops, they were underused and were very blank. Here they sproute with life. Even paperlike handdrawn animation feels so alive and fits perfectly on PSP. Snake now struggles with loss, than ever before and has his slow transform into villiany, with even recruiting his first child soldier and embracing his title. The endings were very satisfying in a way, that it didnt even need any sequel and thats how many games should end.
Gameplay - The base gameplay is awesome sneaking through dense jungle, spotting enemy camoflague and eliminating them is very fun. It builds up on Portable ops with building your own army, but now it actually has a meaning. The game tries to utilise the 3rd person shooting mechanic from MGS4 and tries to translate it over to PSP. To my surprise it worked extremely well. The lack of analogue stick wasnt a problem at all. Little unfortunately the ai bosses were just a bullet sponges. The only way to defeat ai bosses was to empty your rocket launchers in them, while dodging their attacks and after you ran out of ammo, you had call an ammo drop and repeat like 4 times. It couldve been much shorter with harder mechanics, but I guess I cant be so hard on a handheld game for system, that was just a tiny bit beefier, than PS1. I have to say, the game was extremely impressive for a handheld from 2004 and its the best game for the system.
8/10.
