Summary

With Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops as great as it was, this game is going to do nothing but collect dust. Unless you’re a die-hard MGS fan, you’ll have no reason to really own this title at all.

We like

  • Quality visuals
  • Realistic weaponry
  • Online play

We dislike

  • Some visual tearing
  • Repetitive mission objectives
  • No storyline

See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings

(continued from previous page) ...yes, sadly it does. Elsewhere, the load times on the other hand aren’t too bad to speak of, taking roughly anywhere between 10-15 seconds.

Overall Portable Ops Plus is a near disappointing experience. With a lackluster offline game, people who aren’t Wi-Fi equipped at home may find this game a waste of money. Ops + could have been made a lot better and you’ll probably find yourself scurrying back to the original for a better experience throughout.

    Actually Elwing, it is labeled as a "Stand alone" title, not just an expansion, which is very misleading by Konami in general.

    but it´s retail cost is the one an expansion has lol; at least it looks that way.

    as much as i would love to bash this review, i can't....very well written review, really weighed in as a factor as to whether this game should be a purchase or not, which is what i believe all reviews should do....i mean there's ign and gamespot, but it's nice to see the minor league editors bring some new fresh air into the scene

    the next psp should be like the iphone and have those buttons pop up on screen to write names and download video of the net.  but, there's  not good psp games except MGS games for mgs they need to make the camera easier to move around

    I think it was a perfect review for this game. Game reviewers in general need to be handing out more 5's in my opinion. Games are rated from 0 - 10 not 6 and up.

    I try and give you guys the reviews in a format I'd like to see them done myself.  I see no reason to be dishonest about the game even if it isn't my style, I'll give it an unbiased look and let you guys know the real deal.  I'm glad to have such a good reaction to the reviews I've posted thus far.  My Medievel Resurrection review should be coming tomorrow.

    to make a long story short.... if you want to create an army and go to war online, then the game is for you... if you want a story, get the first one... but for 20 USD, the expansion ain't that bad...

    $20 is pretty steep when you consider you an get the full fledged experience for the same price.
