Summary: METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER takes the series in an exciting new direction with incredible visuals, as it sheds new light on well-known adversaries and allies, along with a wealth of new characters. In true METAL GEAR SOLID tradition, METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER drops the player into a series of hostile scenarios, as a terrible plan for world domination is revealed. In addition to solo operations, players can team up via the game's multi-player CO-OPS (CO-operative OPerationS) mode. This extends to key gameplay advances, with players administering medical help to colleagues, sharing munitions, or providing cover for each other using the Snake formation to cover each other's blind spots.

After an in-depth, critical analysis, I simply couldn't find anything wrong with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Through and through, Peace Walker is easily the best game on Sony's handheld, and walks all over some of great console games I've played, too.

Horrendous difficulty spikes aside, Peace Walker is great. It has all the blisteringly beautiful visuals, impressive production values and rewarding stealth gameplay you expect from a Metal Gear game.

This game is a really good game with one of kojima's best stories yet. The story and graphics are incredibly detailed. Especially for a PSP game. The controls can be a little bit clunky at times but once you'll get used to it, and then its not noticeable anymore. The missions are fun with good level design and mixtures of stealth and action. Again this is a truly great game and should be bought by anyone with a PSP.… Expand

Im a fan of the metal gear solid games. So I expected the polish that come with this series. The story was also far simpler and therefore better but you could sense this was forced apon kojima by the systems limitations hence the comic book cut-scenes. The controls however let the whole thing down, I can't explain anymore than saying they just feel wrong which is something that the game developers must have noticed. The fact your are PSP also doesn't help and this game can't help the troubled platform.… Expand

I wanted to like this game...it has its moments. Problem is, the controls are horrid. Playing this made me want to play Monster Hunter or Logan's Shadow, both superior games for enjoyability and controls. Sadly, when Monster Hunter has better controls, you know you are in for trouble. What could have been a great (for PSP standards) game, turns into an overrated heap of critic vomit. Save your money folks, at least wait till it is 20-$15 cheaper, then it would be worth buying. Metal Gear is a game for fanboys. I love stealth games, liked the original MGS, and loved every Splinter Cell game. This is no stealth game. This is a micromanaging farming simulator with horrid controls and elements of stealth. Pass.… Expand
