they should but they won't probably.

Anyways, my last question is about the psp metal gear solid portable ops.. Anyone here besides me played it? I will be buying it soon.

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.

The control of that game is awful.

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.

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.

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.
