Review: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker "Easily the Best MGS Game on PSP"

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

The PSP has been around for five years, and if you can believe it, there's five Metal Gear Solid titles to match. The latest, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, takes the multiplayer-driven approach that has made Monster Hunter so popular and swaps giant missile-toting supertanks for Capcom's giant fire-breathing beasts. Kevin Kelly spent hours leveling up Snake and pumping enemy soldiers full of tranquilizers. And he seems to have loved nearly every minute, as you might notice here:

"There are few PSP games that capture the essential console experience on handheld. Arguably, it’s been over two years since the last one -- God of War: Chains of Olympus. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker feels bigger than its platform, and it's hard to imagine that all this gameplay can fit on a tiny little UMD. Although the controls are stifled by the nature of the device and the emphasis on multiplayer hurts PSP owners who don’t have gaming partners or a hard-wired PS3, it’s not enough to suppress this level of enjoyment and content. Kojima Productions has clearly done something right. While Peace Walker isn’t always perfect, it’s easily the best Metal Gear Solid game -- if not one of the best games, period -- on PSP."

Once I got past the toughness of some of the boss fights, I've been a fan of Peace Walker since playing it last April. Want to see how much Kevin likes it? See for yourself in this Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker review.

    I wish companies could start going multiplatfor instead of 1 system or 1 studio. like nauhty dog works for sony and bungie workin for microsoft. Its makin people feel bad because what if they say somethin like "oh bungie is better naughty dog" or "oh naughty dog is better than bungie". dont forget suckerpunch.

    I love when people want good PSP games ported to the PS2.
    Let go, the system is dead. -And why port to the PS3? That's what the PSP is for.

    All I can say is, Thank You. I thought they were never going to review this game. I was starting to lose hope in G4.

    I've not gotten through it yet. Just bought it earlier (slept through yesterday arrrgh). But from what i've got through so far, this may just end up being one of my overall favorites. I know it'll easily get some of the most hours out of it for the very least.

    Solo or no, I'd recommend giving this one a go. :)

    I don't know why they wouldn't port Portable Ops and Peace Walker to PS3 like they did with the PSP GTA games onto the PS2. Even if the graphics aren't up to par with other PS3 games, they'd still sell like gang busters.

    It's a full fledged MGS game. Of course it's going to be great
