Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops Plus

The Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops Plus is also known as MGS: PO+ or Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops: Infinite War. It is an expansion to Portable Ops and features new characters, new game-play, new modes and missions developed by Kojima Productions and published by Konami for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). In this portable multiplayer, players will enjoy a variety of new environment maps such as an updated version of the REX Hangar area of the original Metal Gear Solid plus recruit a crew of battle-hardened warriors for combat against real opponents in online arenas. It also has multi-player mode that can be used via the PSP system’s wireless capabilities.

Features

The Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops Plus provides both ad hoc and infrastructure play in two different flavours, one from the original game and one for the expansion pack, which lets player access a number of new maps as well as some new online features. A few of these are relatively minor, such as new saluting animations and the ability to take snapshots of in-game matches. Visually, Portable Ops Plus is identical to Portable Ops, since it uses the same Subsistence engine meaning that it provides a lot of large, detailed characters, console identical animations and other features. Other features are much more significant, such as the inclusion of a beginner lobby for newcomers to the franchise, along with a brand new chat room. It also comes with a new single player mode, "Infinity Mission", in which players must advance from start to finish through increasingly difficult stages, gathering weapons and recruiting high-level comrades to build up their units. It also comes with additional multi-player mode (cater for 1 to 6 number of players) where players can use personalized decks to do battle via the PSP system’s wireless capabilities or use the game mode called Shooting Range. This mode forces player to shoot as many targets as possible before time runs out, turning those targets into your team’s colour in the process. It is also equipped with a Tutorial Mode and improved in-game support to familiarize novice and players of all skill levels with the strategic game-play. Besides that, the Training Mode provides player to practice and sharpen their game controls to challenge experienced tactical fighters. It can also upload saved data from the previous version of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops to create instant squads or recruit brand new soldiers from the Metal Gear Solid universe, including Raiden and Snake from MGS4, to form a unique fighting crew. It is also fitted with Wi-Fi connectivity, rated as T for mild suggestive themes and violence by ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board). The Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Plus developer is Kojima Productions, released on 13th November, 2007, it falls under the genre category of Online Action, Shooter and Strategy plus it has a product dimension weights of 4.8 ounces (136grams).

    I can't wait for Metal Gear Solid 4. I have been saying this for a long time, and every time I hear about a delay and whatever reason they give for it not coming out for a long time, I am a little saddened. I can admit it and not think low of myself. I also happen to be very meticulous when it comes to stealth action games. Granted, Metal Gear may not be the "be all, end all" stealth games series for everyone, nevertheless, to me it is the one that I measure all others... Read more

    Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus isn’t the sequel that many are waiting for, although it should satisfy the appetite of those who really enjoyed the multiplayer in the original game. Those who prefer single player should approach Plus with caution, but the reasonable price point in no way suggests that the game is going to be loaded with content. Read more

    B ack in 2007, Kojima and Konami released the original MGS: Portable Ops , an action orientated Metal Gear title which was an instant PSP classic. The original title was as innovative as it was action-packed, even allowing players to go Wi-Fi signal hunting to recruit new soldiers for their army. A year on, the standalone expansion pack is hitting the shelves. With such an outstanding original, we ask the question: Was there really any point? Read more

  4. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops + (PSP)

    Reviewer: Crispy Gamer

    Don't call it a comeback; Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops + is really just a budget-rate expansion pack that builds on the excellent previous version. For a $20 price tag, this stand-alone expansion (the "non-plus" version isn't required), gives players an intense stealth-action game, a lot of (tedious) replay value and the some of the best graphics and visuals the PSP has to offer.

    MGS Portable Ops Plus adds new multiplayer modes, characters, maps. While the focus is on multiplayer, the new version will also feature a single-player portion with familiar characters such as Roy Campbell, Raiden and MGS4's Old Snake. Read more

    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.
