The game is a big release for fans because it’s considered canon, basically part of the storyline of the series. It was directed by Hideo Kojima, giving it even more legitimacy as a true Metal Gear release, despite it being on a portable.
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
It feels like the PlayStation Portable doesn't get the love that it deserves, so here are the best PSP games if you're picking one up for the first time.
some really good games on that list. some of my favorites (not on the list) are Metal Slug XX, ultimate Ghosts & Goblins, Gradius Collection, Motorstorm Arctic Edge and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.
I get that The Warriors is technically a PS2 game ported over, but damn it's amazing on the PSP
Few of my favs Off the top. Midnight club 3,GTA Stories liberty/Vice,god of war and locoRoco
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Even to fans, the thought that a T-rated game could rank as the greatest is virtually unthinkable; how could the best Metal Gear possibly be a handheld title on a system less powerful than a PlayStation 2? Because it had to be – necessity is the mother of invention. Not only is this a full-fledged Metal Gear, the fresh spin on the gameplay draws from several sources outside of its wheelhouse. Peace Walker somehow manages to be less like its predecessor, Portable Ops, and more akin to Metal Gear Solid V. What boggles the mind is that it would be over five years before The Phantom Pain would release, an entire generation later."
A great game!
love this game. I like it very much so far.
I certainly wish Portable Ops had the control scheme from Peace Walker. PO is actually a good game just with lousy controls. That said I do wish people would get past the 'oh noes portable gaming' ><
Glad the author is enjoying the game though. Peace Walker ranks in the top tier of the series of games no doubt :)
While the game somehow struggles with PSP lack of right stick, it still play very very well. Boss battle have not been unsurmountable or particularly hard so far (playing SOLO), and considering they are meant to be played coop I'd say that is a good thing. It is just a matter of getting used.
BTW, stop wishing PSP games be on the PS3. It aint happening. P3P and VC2 are next in my list.
