Are you happy to see me? Or is that just a
Snake in your pants? Solid Snake goes portable in a big way. Get ready for the biggest non-shock of the year:
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is good. Very good. In fact, it's THE killer app that Sony fans have been waiting for:
- 1UP (95/100) - "All this translates into a game that essentially pushes the PSP in all of its features: graphics, portability, Internet, extra hardware doohickeys, and multiplayer. Sure, it might have hiccups (occasional ghosting, quirky A.I., the one analog nub), but Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is not only a fine MGS title -- it's also a damn good showcase for the PSP."
.
- IGN (90/100) - "It's been a long time coming, but this is what Metal Gear Solid fans, and indeed PSP fans have been waiting for: a title that demonstrates what the technology of the PSP can actually do, with a solid action title to boot. The GPS and WiFi scanning feature is excellently implemented, the online and single player modes are deep, and there are plenty of things to do by tracking down and recruiting new soldiers from various places. This is one of the games to add to your collection if you have the PSP."
.
- Yahoo (80/100) - "This is one of the PSP's best multiplayer titles, giving you essentially a two-for-one experience. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops isn't a must-have for everyone, but most gamers recruited into its ranks will be satisfied."
The game has shipped to retailers, so expect them in stores today or tomorrow. Rush in to your game store, and tell us what you think about the game!

Beautiful - the AAA killer app arrives. Too bad I'm getting sucked into Gears of War right now and am still futzing with Zelda on Wii and Ace Combat & Killzone on PSP, or I'd snag this immediately.

People like Dylan Shumway are part of the reason why there aren't more good PSP games.

I am so fed up! There is about 2 games for PSP that i would even think about getting for Christmas, simply because in the UK and Europe they just can't be bothered releasing games till about 7 months after America and Japan you guys are so lucky, we get everything late and to the developers it doesn't matter because they know people like me will still buy it and yes they are absolutely right.

Well if you do decide to get the game on a torrent site, at least make sure that you buy the official copy as well. A lot of time, collabgorative effort and hard work go into the making of these games. So at least show your appreciation by buying a legit copy.

The game was already sold out by the time i made it to Game Stop today. And the only copies that were left belonged to people who reserved the game early. But i will get this game before the week is out- guaranteed. I just wish that the GPS peripheral was already out. I think it'll make the game a lil' more exciting.
