As world-dominating franchises go, the Metal Gear series has had a strange relationship with PSP. First there was the non-canonical AC!D series, which replaced the series' hallmark stealth action with turn-based card strategy. When fans cried foul, Metal Gear's unrepentant, idiosyncratic creator Hideo Kojima 'rewarded' them with a sequel. Then there was Portable Ops, which won praise for its plot and visuals, but with its awkward controls and laborious squad-based focus, it wasn't the game many MGS fans were expecting, particularly those who found Big Boss's previous outing in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater the highlight of the series.
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
It feels like the PlayStation Portable doesn't get the love that it deserves, so here are the best PSP games if you're picking one up for the first time.
some really good games on that list. some of my favorites (not on the list) are Metal Slug XX, ultimate Ghosts & Goblins, Gradius Collection, Motorstorm Arctic Edge and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.
I get that The Warriors is technically a PS2 game ported over, but damn it's amazing on the PSP
I never tried that one. Once the PS3 was out, I was done with PSP… I would love to see a new one
Few of my favs Off the top. Midnight club 3,GTA Stories liberty/Vice,god of war and locoRoco
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Even to fans, the thought that a T-rated game could rank as the greatest is virtually unthinkable; how could the best Metal Gear possibly be a handheld title on a system less powerful than a PlayStation 2? Because it had to be – necessity is the mother of invention. Not only is this a full-fledged Metal Gear, the fresh spin on the gameplay draws from several sources outside of its wheelhouse. Peace Walker somehow manages to be less like its predecessor, Portable Ops, and more akin to Metal Gear Solid V. What boggles the mind is that it would be over five years before The Phantom Pain would release, an entire generation later."
