    Portable gaming has always been about bite-sized offering of larger games that are easily accessible and fun to play in short doses. Read more

    • + Multi-Player Is Still Addictive, + Graphics Are The Best Available On PSP, + Lots Of Content, Low Price Tag
    • SinglePlayer Is Disappointing, Controls Still Need A Serious Overhaul, Losing Unique Characters Online

    The original Portable Ops was welcome in the way that it was a proper Metal Gear game, well it was in comparison to the more outlandish Metal Gear Acid series anyway. Obviously those who enjoyed the original will be pleased with the release of this mere and sensibly priced expansion. Read more

    Back 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

    Portable Ops Plus feels a lot like an expansion pack. Unfortunately, for an expansion pack to be worth the money there needs to be a lot of context for you to feel justified. While Portable Ops Plus doesn't offer an incredible amount of new things, it does do an exceptional job at recapturing the elements we loved in the first title. Read more

    9 May 2008

    I was a big fan of the original release, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops . It was a bit of redemption after what seemed like a trend in the wrong direction with the MGS games on the big consoles. I mean, the original game was like my church for about a month. The graphics now look pretty primitive compared to what we can hold in our hands with the PSP. The gameplay in many ways hasn't changed, but that in itself isn't a bad thing. Read more

    I bought this game to play with my friends on the bus with game sharing on the PSP 3000. We have a blast on the bus now that i got this game. But I was disipointed that it only had 1 map for game sharing. You can also play not online and you have to go through easy, medium and hard then some other missions easy was extremely easy and medium was pretty easy and hard was a little difficult but not to hard then the others i think are pretty dang tough.you can also play...

    No one I know owns this game, and I've never had the opportunity to put online gaming through its paces. The single-player mode doesn't feel like an actual game; there's no storyline whatsoever, and "missions" often consist of "spawn on a random map, and run from there to the little warp icon that gets you to the next map".

    • It's a half-decent one-player game, with a variety of weapons, and all of the usual action you'd expect from the Metal Gear series.
    • See "half-decent". This really is a stand-alone expansion pack, and seems more geared towards online versus play. Also, the camera angles got irritating, and camera co...

    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.

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).
