The Metal Gear Solid series isn't foreign to the PSP; in fact there have been four Metal Gear Solid releases since the system's launch. Metal Gear Ac!d wasn't that well received because of the nature of the game -- slow strategy-based combat -- but Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Portable Ops + were more welcomed to the system. Even with four MGS-related titles on the system, people still wanted a true entry of the franchise to take on the go. Finally, all that patience has paid off with the release of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Dubbed Metal Gear Solid 5 by series creator Hideo Kojima, Peace Walker is the next true installment of the hit tactical espionage series and this handheld version plays like a console version and features tons of extra missions and game modes to keep you busy for a long time.
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."
I've been a little disappointed with the direction the series has taken. Maybe this will be a reason for me to get back into it
Great review! The graphics look pretty damn good on the PSP. Looks like a PS2 game or better
I love this game so much. I hated the other MGS games on the psp with a passion and was really apprehensive about getting PW. This just proves how genius Kojima is. Regardless of the crap controls of the psp this game still manages to be my GOTY so far, and I thought Read Dead was a lock in but I think this is even better.
