User Rating: 10 | Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker PSP
Peace Walker offers value in spades. Even for an adept player, completing the main storyline is no weekend job, taking easily upwards of 20 hours, and the whole experience, trimmings and all, demands replay. The way the game's multiple modes fit together and feed into each other will entice even a reluctant completionist to keep chipping away. Once you've completed the story, the moreish gameplay and steady rewards of new unlocked goodies mean you want to fully staff your base and level up your combat teams, not to mention go after the next weapon or gadget upgrade, as well as codenames and insignia awarded for completing achievement-like challenges and trying out different play styles.
With stellar presentation, great looks and sound, and deep, diverse gameplay, Peace Walker is an essential experience that raises the bar for portable games. It combines the ambition and gloss of a full-sized console title with plenty of novelties and conveniences to make it a superb portable experience.
