Game Title: Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Genre: Stealth Action
Strengths: Ground-breaking graphics for the PSP, Though limited input to use, the

controls still "work", Continues Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence robust Online

multiplayer and refined it
Weaknesses: The controller is somewhat hard to get accustomed to , In certain

areas the camera can get fidgety
Description: As, a direct sequel to 2004's blockbuster title, Metal Gear Solid 3,

it follows Big Boss', trials. It's shows Outer Heaven, as seen in the original

Metal Gears, being constructed. The cutscenes are not full 3D cutscenes as seen

in normal Metal Gear Solid games, but graphic novel looking 2D ones, like seen in

Metal Gear Solis: Digital Graphic Novel. Some new features in this installment

of MGS are the army building feature, where you capture enemy soldiers to recruit

them, which has the same addictive quality as Pokemon. Konami refined the

already great online mode from MGS:3S and made it easier to pick up and play.

The graphics are very good for a PSP game, with probably close to the number of

polygons on the PS2 versions, they seem as pretty, with PSP's limited resolution.

Great Game play, new weapons and great sound, especially for the portable

platform, make this a definite buy for: sneaking fans, shooter fans, MGS fans,

and owners of the PSP altogether. I recommend that you pick up MPO today.
Retail Price: $40
Number of Players: Up to 6 multiplayer online or Ad-Hoc
Graphics: 9/10
Sound: 9/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Overall: 9/10

Good review, but kind of hard to see what goes where as it almost looks like one big paragraph. For your next review i suggest extra spacing between your categories. (weaknesses, strengths, description)

Best frickin game for PSP period. I was shocked at how well the MGS game transferred to PSP.

This game didn't leave my UMD drive for almost year after I bought it. The biggest problem is that the controls are uncomfortable.

I found this game to be very poor, and PO+ even more so. MGS3 and these games broke the perfect gameplay of the others with that silly CQC. The environments are very bland in this game.

Game's okay but i prefer the original ps2/ps3 version. Not a bad game though, a little bit dissappointed though.
