 - Another great Metal Gear Solid titleThis 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. Rating: - Superb!!For me is the second best MGS game (the best for me is MGS3) the Big Boss story is incredible! and the game looks exactly like its predeccesor MGS3 Rating: - It's effing brilliant!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. Rating:  - Sounded like a good idea...The controls on this game have been rearranged from other metal gear games, which is the major drawback. Additionally, the ability to only carry 4 items is a pain. The camera isn't easy to manage even though it's rotatable. Plus side...artsy cutscenes are cool, decent audio, and innovative "team" aspect. Rating:  - like dying ?i highly recommend MGS Ops for those pro gamers driving feraris they've won and the amateur gamers who like the feeling , say, of trying to play medal of honor online with a dial up connection only to be sniped in the head from a bell tower before they show up on their own screen. if you like that feeling there'll be plenty of it in MSG POPS. Good luck. i'm into stealth, patience, stategy and all that but i just don't get MGS Ops. i read the reviews and was psyched to spend the next six months mastering this game but the price is just too steep. i have been playing for six hours now and when i'm not dragging bodies to the truck i'm getting my recruits slaughtered.as soon as you're spotted it's either another hour of your young life spent building a team down the drain (and another hour of hauling bodies around at a snail's pace to look forward to) or a chase with ensuing long wait for the alert to clear (like long loading times? like watching a progress bar? then you'll love alert clearings). where's the fun in that? as far as learning curves being steep goes, there is no curve here. it's a sheer cliff. i sensed trouble right away when even the buttons to select options in the title menu were screwey (X, konami, not O) and things only got worse from there. never did figure out how to climb a crate to retrieve stuff (how bout a bit of training, konami? just trying to shake out the newbies, eh?). even now with my blood pressure through the roof due to my most recent slaughter, i'm tempted to go back and try again. does that make it a great game? hardly. i just played the demo from Logan's Shadow and it was like second nature putting heads out and shooting around corners - a satisfying pleasure in its own right heightened immeasurably by a crummy MGS Ops experience. MGS with its awkward controls and useless "stealth" tactics is lame by comparison with the ease of use in the Syphon series. i just can't for the life of me understand how i can be so wrong about this game. it's almost as if i got a defective copy.i hate the redwings (except for chris chelios) but that guy was right when he summed this thing up as an exercise in frustration. my girlfriend won't allow me to play it in her presence even on the plane because of how aggravated it gets me. i wanted to love it. i really did. the killer is how much of a wimp you feel like when you think of shelving it. "there must be something to it that everyone is loving. maybe just one more try," you think only to wind up caught in the end again barely resisting the urge to smash your white vader PSP against the wall. hate to be a baby but it's too much for me. anyone know how to climb a crate? there's no fine aiming (in effect), you spend an eternity in limbo going from your belly to your feet and back again by accident and crawling around in circles, and then some of the levels are so simple you wonder if you've been giving the game more credit than it deserves. it's bizarro world. i'm giving it 2 stars because the graphic cut scenes, menu graphics, and story are dead cool. sound design is good and going byt he walkthroughs i've browsed, there are tons of missons (depth).i guess that's why i don't wanna give up on it yet.sheesh. time for the cheats then... i know MGS Ops has it's rabid fans and i may just be a shootem up sore loser (okay, i...guess i am) so apologies to those guys and respect since to see this game through really does take metal gear (heh). next review: poco loco :P
