    Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is a very unnecessary and uninteresting entry into the Metal Gear franchise. The controls are finicky and hard to make comfortable, the story is unnecessary, only there to set the stage for Peacewalker. Don't buy this game, just skip to Peacewalker.

    I really wanted to rate this game higher. This is a solid Metal Gear game and I am enjoying it. However, the camera is really bad on this game. It is zoomed in to close to Snake and is a bit jerky at times. Also, the controls are not as comfortable as they should be. Nevertheless, great story and awesome Metal Gear gameplay still rules. If camera and contols were better, this game would I really wanted to rate this game higher. This is a solid Metal Gear game and I am enjoying it. However, the camera is really bad on this game.

    Great game, sadly hindered by control and camera issues.

    Portable Ops se siente como uno de los pocos juegos que está a la altura de la promesa de PSP, en parte porque traduce toda la experiencia de Metal Gear Solid en algo que se puede digerir fácilmente en pequeñas cantidades ... indiscutiblemente uno

    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.

    As a single-player game, Portable Ops can't match the scope and drama of its predecessors. Of course, with its bite-sized style and team aspect, it doesn't really try to. This is one of the PSP's best multiplayer titles, giving you essentially a two-for-one experience.

    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.
