I'm not worthy of horrible story, boring cut-scenes and laughable dialog? That's cool by my standards, chump.

All of them are awesome.. each one has a story so epic and amazing it will make you wonder what is in Kojima's Mind.

The remake of MGS on cube is awesome more but too much matrix style cutscenes.. The ps1 version is good but the cube version takes the game up a notch by adding some new stuff in from the otehr games.

Now what about the psp one? ANyone here played that one?

Of course, of course. After playing through SoL and SE, there's no way I could go back to the 32-bit PlayStation graphics...Very, very primitive. The GameCube version rocks ass -- in fact, they should port it to PS2 or PSP.

Aw you won't get to see a man in a thong, nor will you get to see a soviet general bad ass sex up another man and grab your balls when he mistakes you for his man lover.

And online you won't be able to take the joy in playing as the soviet generals boyfriend, in which you have a move where you grab the enemy by their testies and squeeze them to knock them out.

Your totally missing out dude

yes.

I only played a bit. it plays differnetly. in fact you recruit soldiers, you also can search for them via gps and you can use other metal gear games like mgs3 and metal gear acid to unlock new soldiers.

also since the umd can only hold 1.8 gigs, don't expect the game to have full voice acting. The voice acting only happens in the cutscenes. The cutscenes are not your "console style" movies, it's more comic style.

still it's pretty cool. the controls may feel a little weird to use but once you take the time to play and understand the controls, the game will be a smooth ride. I haven't played online but i heard it's fun.

Metal Gear on a portable is a bad idea. The point of a portable is so you can pick it up and play it anytime you want. Do you really wanna be riding on a bus and get to your stop, only to be in the middle of a 15 minute scene of dialog and suspense? I don't think so.

Doesn't seem to affect any of the scores I've seen online; most people rank it as the PSP's killer app. I haven't played it myself, but if it's anything like the console versions (but different in certain facets, of course), then I'm inclined to believe them.

IGN - 9/10
VG Resource Center - 9.5/10
Gamespot - 9/10
1UP - 9.3/10
Gamepro - 4/5
GameSpy - 5/5
Eurogamer - 9/10
GameZone - 9/10

you got a big psp fan.. me! I played it and I even admit the controls were awarawk but once you get used to them, the game is fun.

peanut just syaing 1 bad thing.. overall the game is fantastic. it feels like a metal gear game and in fact this game is the sequal to metal gear solid 3 and takes place between mgs3 and metal gear.

That's what I'm most interested in. I think following the adventures of Big Boss during the 70s, after the events in the Soviet mountains in Snake Eater, is a fantastic idea. I mean, what's not to like about the character? It's Solid Snake, only more legendary, and with a bad-ass eyepatch.

That's because it's a Metal Gear Solid game. If any other game controlled/played like Portable Ops, it would have been panned.

Easy now, don't confuse him too much. You know he's probably already upset because the drool all over his keyboard is messing with his typing.

Which just goes to show that the series' trademark production values and engrossing storyline are strong enough to overshadow any minor quibbles people may have with the controls. It is Metal Gear, after all.

Never said otherwise, my friend. But by all accounts, it's a little more than minor quibbles. I've heard numerous people say they wish the game was ported to the PS2, just because they want to be able to play it for the story without the retarded controls getting in the way.

Either way, I've played it and the moment I had to use four buttons to peak around a corner, I was pretty much done with it.

I would say MGS3 because....well I'm a huge fan of the series which you already know but I really dont feel like forcing that on you, because by now if you dont like it you wont like it.


So I just went with the next thing that I personally like on the list, FF.

But may I ask why you think the story is horrible?

I know you are simpily just making a joke but.....your making a joke out of joke, because Major Raikov is a parody of Raiden. This is why I think Kojima is such a great guy because he dosent ignore all critsim, he takes it all and some times uses it in his own games to make fun of him self (that being how many Americans said that Raiden was gay)

Yeah I know I've followed the series like a religion since PS1 version came out. Then I quit after 3 because I didn't plan on getting a PS3. And after returning to 3 I don't miss it much.

The Raiden video on the 2nd disk was comical.
