    I am a long time MGS fan. And this is the seconds best game after MGS3 for me. Everybody owning a PSP or liking MGS shouldn't miss this one.

    Possibly the greatest handheld Metal gear Yet and defintley one of the top three PSP games of ALL time. From the graphics, all the things you can do, production value, and the multiplayer. This is the COMPLETE handheld package. Buy this if you have a PSP at all. You won't regret it.

The only thing about this game are the boss battles. They require strategy, but most of the time it just boils down to a 'blast away' mentality. The bosses here are a bit too tough, but hey. MGS:PW still gets a ten. Plus it's one of the most addictive games I've played in a long while- have fun figuring out Mother Base.… Expand

The graphics are on par with the PS2 and the game-play has nearly no problems. Aside from slightly clunky controls, there is absolutely nothing wrong with "Peace Walker". The thing I found most impressive was how involved you are in the role of "Big Boss". In between missions you have to organize your staff so you can develop weapons, keep morale up, discover new inventions, and even watch over soldiers in the brig and sickbay. This game has managed to combine stealth, shooter, and role-playing elements all into one package whilst still having a decent story from Kojima himself and keeping variety amongst levels, enemies and bosses. There is one thing newbies to this game should know though: this game is very difficult until you have truly mastered its controls ( three layouts to choose from) and gotten a feel for its unique style. After you have done that you wont be able to keep this game away from you. Its horribly addicting, especially for a "Solid" fan like myself. If you have a PSP buy this game. If you don't have a PSP, go buy a PSP and then get this game with it. It's that good. Not only is it fun, addicting, and innovative for the PSP, its length (15-20 hours), bonus missions and multi-player will have you playing this one for a long time to come. All I can hope is that a sequel is made, because Kojima has once again outdone himself.… Expand

    Peace Walker is my favorite Metal Gear game, The Phantom Pain included. I could not stop playing it.
    PRESENTATION:10
    It has the best music of the series, one of the best stories (presented in excellent monochrome motion comics, which I prefer to CGI), and David Hayter's (the actual Big Boss) voice. Unlike TPP, audio cassettes are organized by mission, and aren’t where PW puts its most critical plot points. My favorite line, though, (“Revolution or no revolution, you pick up a gun, and sooner or later you're going to hell. Are you prepared for that?”) isn’t in a cutscene.
    Kojima had intended PW to be MGS5 before relegating it to a device few own. Whereas TPP was a disorganized side-story adding little to the cannon, PW is integral and delivered linearly. It presents Snake heroically, but he crosses the moral thresholds (i.e. forcible drafting, child soldiers, ironically endorsing nuclear deterrence) that set up Metal Gear 1.
    Kojima's games (ZOE:2nd Runner) always push the limits of Playstation systems, and PW looks gorgeous for a PSP game. Individual leaves on a snipers’ ghillie suits hid them in the foliage and added to gameplay. The interface both in the field (damage readouts per hit) and in menus are works of art.
    CONTROL:6
    PW is a third person shooter with stealth options and close-range grab/throwing.
    Controls are always awkward in MGS games, and the fewer buttons of a PSP isn't helping. I like half-pushing the joystick to walk silently. But with only one analog nub, PW resorts to “tank” controls (left and right turn instead of strafe) so I ran in alot of accidental circles. Aiming is stilted by relying on the D-pad (or buttons). Autoaim (the "off" option just means "less") helps, but I never like autoaim. There’s not enough buttons to go around comfortably, but try “shooter” control in the menu to at least move and shoot simultaneously.
    Supposedly the PS4 version in the Metal Gear HD Collection solves these problems with dual analog controls, so I recommend that. If the HD collection didn't exist, PW would justify buying a PSP.
    Movement while prone or against a wall is absent, but was never useful in past games. The dodgeroll cancels the reload animation and is great when missiles start raining. Inexcusably, the game doesn’t pause while switching weapons/items (which controls awkwardly), limiting your ability to react in time.
    Some of the motion comics have QTE's, a horrible idea (especially the impossible torture bit). But there are 2 comic sequences with gameplay (albeit simple)--aiming at the kidnapper and horse-galloping between missiles; more of those would have been nice.
    Stealth improves as you unlock items. My favorite trick is tossing a smoke grenade, running in with nightvision goggles, and chain-throwing a whole group.
    The E3 2013 trailer for MGS:TPP intermittently sped up, and I wish there was a 3x-normal "speed-up button" in PW (not just 12-hr-blocks like the TPP Phantom Cigar) while sneaking, to relieve the annoyance of waiting for guards to turn around and walk away.
    The key selling point is the boss battles. The mechanical behemoths have various patterns and multiple targets, so combat involves prioritizing either weak points or specific parts to stop different attack patterns. Cocoon is almost a "Shadow of the Colossus" with guns. Missions where a tank/helicopter is protected by soldiers best integrate all the gameplay elements.
    DESIGN:10
    TPP lifted its best elements from PW, primarily Fulton extraction, which ties the upgrade system to motivation to play stealthily. "Auto-assign" and signposting which upgrades are ready streamline what would otherwise be a chore. PW isn't open-world, but I like that: missions are short enough to play in bursts.
    Multiplayer is amazing, the one time I could find someone to try it with. There's nothing like taking on a boss or sneaking through a level co-op.
    Others have complained of onerous requirements to beat PW (Chapter 5), but it's just that many things are hidden (Google the Straw Box, Monster Hunter levels, and the last Zadornov). I never felt like I had to "farm" levels since I didn’t care about trying out every gun.
    Some of its coolest items are locked until the late game, when the necessary missions are available. What’s the point of new ways to extract after your base is maxed out? Or of newer guns after you’ve beaten every boss? You do unlock enough, at a steady enough stream, to get everything you really need just from the main missions. And there's little motivation to switch out the M16 and LAW. I appreciate that PW lets you take the lower-level versions into battle to preserve challenge on easy missions. Similarly, you shouldn’t skip to the hardest Extra Ops until you have the better guns.
    PW is enormous, 20 hrs+ even without unlocking everything, and it never got boring. Even if you didn’t like previous Metal Gears or already saw the cutscenes on Youtube, get PW for the boss battles alone. But get the HD Collection on PS3.    … Expand

    I mean if you compared this to a overall PS2 or PS3 game, maybe it deserve a 7 or 8. But this was for PSP. I can really imagine another great game on the PSP console.

    Kojima adapted the gameplay and the scenarios of metal Gear for this platform, and this was bigger on graphics than portable Ops.

    The bosses fights was really good, even than the bosses are only machines was really goods.

    At the beggining i wasn't to interested on the Mother Base thing, but even that it's so catchy i send my army to fight and was cool fight with tanks and helicopters for your army can use on the war.

    The thing that i most like, (like all the Metal Gear saga it's the history). How Kojima can create such a great storyline and put it in the PSP was incredible, the only way to do it was on the comic thing.

    I love the fact than the story is on LatinAmerica, the return of the Cold War thing, the importance of master Miller and for Huey.

    The end of The Boss storyline. The cassetes tapes too.

    And the final battle with Peace Walker, i didn't have development the Supply box from Miller, and was out of ammo 2 times after playing something like 30 minutes, and then when i kill Peace Walker i didn't press the triangule button....Really good experience playing this game.

    never expect to have so much funny with a PSP game and for that i give this a 10!    … Expand

It's very gripping like the other games in the series. If you are a hardcore PSP fan, you should try this game. I can easily say that it's much better than Portable Ops.

    Metal Gear is known as one of the many critical acclaimed franchises in the game industry all thanks to Hideo Kojima and the "support" of Konami. Though my first game was Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty back on the PlayStation 2 during its release, I only decided to return to the franchise with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker back in 2010.

    I'll be giving this game a score based on my    Metal Gear is known as one of the many critical acclaimed franchises in the game industry all thanks to Hideo Kojima and the "support" of Konami. Though my first game was Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty back on the PlayStation 2 during its release, I only decided to return to the franchise with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker back in 2010.

    I'll be giving this game a score based on my opinion and not what others think of it; I know there are many people who gave this game a certain review such as the following: love it with no explanation why, hate it with no explanation why, love it and judge gamers who never understood the plot of the franchise and finally hate it and judge gamers who have understood the plot. My review will be honest as it can be.

    The plot takes place ten years in 1974 after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Naked Snake, or Big Boss, now runs his own small private army named MSF 'Militaires Sans Frontières' (Soldiers Without Borders) alongside Kazuhira Miller. They are given a small off-shore plant Mother Base which players can expand the more they play, more on that later; the base is given to them by a professor/CIA chief Ramón Gálvez Mena who plea for Big Boss to force an army out of Costa Rica as they are suspicious to carry weapons and nukes in what was once a peaceful country. I won't spoil the further of the story here but it gets better as you go along; flashbacks to MGS3 are shown constantly throughout the story so newcomers aren't left out of the plot.

    The game play is pretty basic and easy to use on the PSP; the analog stick to move, X to crouch and crawl, the left D-pad to bring up the items window while right is used to bring up the weapons window with Square and Circle to navigate, Triangle or D-pad up to attach against a wall or to reload. The left trigger is used to aim down the sights with the X, Square, Circle and Triangle buttons being used to control the camera and right trigger to fire. when not aiming, right trigger is used to hold up enemies or to use CQC (Close Quarters Combat).

    The graphics are gorgeous on PSP, many consider the graphics as a weak point with PSP games but sometimes forget that the PSP isn't capable of enhanced graphics. The game is mainly stealth but the option for run and gun is there if the player is that kind; the main feature of the game is Mother Base itself, you manage the departments by placing soldiers into the departments they have a special skill towards ( S rank R&D soldier, B rank Intel team soldier, etc.) and through this you can expand Mother Base's size and capacity. Mother Base allows you to put your soldiers at work and have them produce weapons, food, intel, GMP (the game's currency) as well as deploying the soldiers into battle. You need to keep the GMP count high and own a lot of food by putting skilled members into the Mess Hall department otherwise soldiers will leave due to low morale and food or will fall ill and will be transported to the Sick Bay, sometimes they will die and you will lose some good soldiers due to this.

    You can play all missions alone but it is better when you play with another player; story missions and extra missions are up to two players while all boss battles are four players. The game will keep record of your results on all missions, single and multi, you can achieve four different ranks depending on how well you play: S, A, B and C.

    On the Mother Base screen, you can play multiplayer which is up to six players total; this version of multiplayer is similar to Metal Gear Online from MGS3 with all the game modes such as Team Deathmatch, Capture the Base, etc. with the maps being from the main campaign as well as some exclusives. Peace Walker's multiplayer is time consuming fun and is better than that of a Call of Duty game where skill actually counts and not everything is run and gun.

    I highly recommend this game to anyone, Metal Gear fan or not, you always get some enjoyment out of it whether it's sneaking past enemies in a cardboard box or using heavy weapons like a minigun or a sniper rifle to make potshots out of enemies from a distance. The ten in the score is really my given opinion, even if many users gave it the same and not explain much more why they give it the usual 10/10; some that give it a 0/10 would've never played a Metal Gear game before or don't know how to do a game review while some give it something like a 2/10 and explain deeply why and I accept that.    … Expand

However, we have a ton of extra ops to complete and trust me, you will need to spend a lot of time to complete them or to developed all types of weapons and objects in the R&D team. My save file has over 120 hours of playtime I haven't finished it yet!… Expand

    From the top-notch characterizations to the ethical indecision of its cast, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a significant step forward for the series's maestro.

    Do not wait for the PSP2. Buy a copy of this game and the hardware necessary to play it as soon as is humanly possible. You're not going to see a better marriage of technical know-how, narrative inventiveness and holy-crap-I'm-playing-a-console-game-on-a-handheld-level awe on the system.
