In E3 2009 this game was announced, and, its been a year, but its worth the wait. The game was originally described as Metal Gear Solid 5, and after playing the game, its clear why. This game is a full Metal Gear Solid game that takes place after Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake eater, however, considering that this is a full Kojima Metal gear solid game, it may not answer as many questions as some would hope. The difficulty of the game is overrated, its completely possible to play the whole single player campaign alone, however some of the Extra Ops may prove to be difficult while playing alone. The game has loads of variety, despite some back tracking. In one mission you might be sneaking through a jungle, whilst in the next you could be head to head with a chopper. Which brings me to the games bosses, sadly in this game every boss is a machine, which is a shame as in many of the metal gear games the bosses really shine, in MGS1 the Psycho Mantis fight was fantastic, in Metal gear Solid 2 and 4 there were the great fights with Vamp, in Metal Gear Solid 3 there was the epic fight with the boss. However, the bosses in peace walker are still great, i just feel they lack imagination. The games got quite a bit of length to it as well, and playing through all the extra ops will take hours, Graphics=Fantastic. I wont say much on the story as anything could be considered a spoiler, I'll just say, its great. MGS PW is my favorite game for PSP yet, do not miss this masterpiece.
