    Snake also acquires an offshore facility, Mother Base, to house his burgeoning private army. As if liberating Costa Rica weren't work enough, the day-to-day running of Mother Base also falls to you. As you work your way through levels, rescued prisoners and downed enemies can be recruited and swiftly airlifted off the battlefield with a Fulton recovery balloon to be transported back to the base.

    • High production values, Great soundtrack, Plenty of diverse activities that invite extended play, Intense boss fights.
    • Occasionally fiddly controls, No checkpoints in the long story missions.

    The biggest problem with Peace Walker overall, is that it would be an amazing console title. The controls have been well worked out, but they would have been flawless on a DualShock 3 with a second analog stick for camera control.

Portable Ops was a brave attempt at bringing the series to a smaller screen, but for many, the last successful miniature Metal Gear adventure came in the form of Ghost Babel on the GameBoy Colour. That was a little over ten years ago. Read more

    The sultans of stealth, Kojima Productions have resurrected their genre-defining Metal Gear series on PSP this month with Peace Walker, a ‘70s-set skulking epic that riffs on the classic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater PS2 sequel and the equally stellar Portable Ops on PSP. Thrusting you into utterly absorbing campaign, Peace Walker plonks you in Naked Snake’s war-torn combat boots once more in package that strings a solid single-player experience together with two...
