So I will now be giving my thoughts on all of the psp demos that I download. My first will be MGS: Peace Walker.

MGS Peace Walker:

My first thought when i started was that it had to be an improvement over Portable Ops. Don't get me wrong that game was fun, but it felt behind the times. Well I launched into the demo I saw that the graphics looked much improved over Portable Ops. They looked crisp and clean on the PSP screen. I started out on a beach with at typical Military sergeant blaring orders through my speakers. This was the games tutorial. It taught me pretty much everything and overall it felt much much smoother than MPO. Then they gave me a gun finally. You had a choice of control options: The MPO lock-on kind or the MGS4 aiming. I of course chose the MGS 4 version. It felt much better and I could finally aim for the headshot without leaving myself completely vulnerable. The controls overall felt pretty good. The aiming was a little stiff with the psp face buttons but it still worked just fine. The missions did seem to feel very similar to one another but this could have just been because it was a demo. The last mission mixed things up a little bit in which I was tasked to eliminate a tank crew while avoiding the tank itself this mission was challenging and rewarding. MGS has always been a stealth game and that is still very evident here. You could knockout enemies with a wide variety of CQC moves and your handy tranquilizer gun. The stealth felt great. After the first mission i discovered that gunning down all of your enemies isn't a horrible idea. Even in the demo there was a load out designed for this. I loved the options of play styles and it made it almost feel like MGS 4 on the psp. We won't know how the game will fare until March 2010 but it looks like the game should be a worthy addition to my psp library. Download the demo and see for yourself
