  1. Added maps and online features make the multiplayer aspect of the game noticeably improved, but if you're more into single-player sneaking approach this with caution. [Dec 2007, p.159]
  2. Online is almost dauntingly packed with options, and the roll move is still kind of broken, but it's hard to argue with the price. [Holiday 2007, p.88]
  3. While Portable Ops Plus doesn't offer an incredible amount of new things, it does do an exceptional job at recapturing the elements we loved in the first title.
  4. We're positive you'll want to avoid MGS Portable Ops Plus: a lacklustre single-player mode, unfriendly interface, and minimal new content make it comprehensively inferior to its predecessor.

    If you would like a unique multiplayer experience and do not have the first Portable Ops, BUY THIS GAME!!!
  2. This is a great expansion pack! And whats awesome about it is that it doesn't require the original game (it is indeed standalone).
    I'd say ge
    t it if you're either really serious about MGS: PO, or if you don't want to bother with the story of the original portable ops and want to jump straight into the action (though I wouldn't recommend doing that).
    Get it since its on PSN and in stores! :D
    It has great gameplay and graphics + great controls.

    Is it well-built? Sure. The game has a slick presentation, just like the last game. The controls, while annoying as ever, are forgiving enough to be learned in time. The graphics are nice, but not spectacular. Basically any category this game attempts, it does well, but not much above average. And that's the game in a nutshell. Expand
