A Sneak Peek At The Forthcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP and PSP Go
Both the Sony PSP and PSP Go are prepared to receive a welcome gaming addition later this year with the release of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The famous gaming franchise returns to the portable system in this long awaited game. Remember we have seen Metal Gear on the PSP before, with Portable Ops a couple of years ago, but this will be the first incarnation that will be directed by the genius behind the franchise; Hideo Kojima, and this can only be a nice sign.
The game is set after the events in Metal Gear Solid 3, with players returning to play as the original Snake, who has now become ‘Big Boss’. Unlike with Portable Ops, this title is regarded official canon within the universe. The gameplay follows the basis set down in previous incarnations, with a major emphasis on subterfuge. The over-the-shoulder angle of Metal Gear four debuts in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, making a fusion of the finest components of previous titles.
Peace Walker’s gameplay is based on a co-op core, following most of today’s games in placing greater importance on teamwork. This is implemented thr oughout Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in solo campaigns and multi-player games, with a variety of alternate ‘Snakes’ to choose between. These differentiations go from a stealth bias to heavy weapons expert, allow ing players to co-ordinate a balanced troupe.
This title marks the first of two titles being released into the Metal Gear franchise over the next 12 months, with the Raiden-centric Metal Gear Solid Rising to be released on next generation consoles later on. Kojima productions have made one great title in the form of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, combining all the classic components of previous titles into an innovative new form of gameplay. The graphics and audio have been polished to the highest calibre and the story sounds, as expected, completely epic.
