I love the series so I decided to pick this up and I enjoy it. The controls are a tad off being that its on the cumbersome PSP, because the movement of character and camera angle are on the same side! The shotting in First Person mode is not as precise when trying to aim at the solider's head. Other than that, graphics are quite amazing, with very good 1970's spy music, cutscenes and voice acting are still top notch and the whole recruiting soliders from the enemy force is a new and fresh addition to the series, which takes place 6 years after the operation Snake Eater incident. As stated before, the other bothersome thing about this game are the controls, otherwise, its still excellent.

This game keeps me alive when I travel. Although gameplay can sometimes be irritatingly hard, a fantastic storyline and great online play makes this a worthy buy. Game sharing is included. This is classic Metal Gear in the palm of your hand. Follow the legendary soldier Naked Snake as he saves the world.

Pros: Yet another great Metal Gear Solid game from Kojima, visually impressive, artistic cut scenes, solid voice acting, excellent story.
Cons: Shifts emphasis from lone stealth mission game to commander with squad, controls different compared to ps2 controls but you get use to it, bosses can be difficult/unforgiving but are not impossible.
If you are a fan of Kojima's work or are a Metal Gear Solid fan, you can't go wrong with this game. The game still includes the aspect of completing missions using stealth and weapons but because of the new squadron system in place, you also use some Real Time Strategy tactics in how you pick members you want to use for missions. The controls for the game are designed to balance with the level of difficulty the game presents-in other words-"the mechanics fit the gameplay". There is a learning curve for how the game plays out and not all of the functions for the game are presented to the user, either in-game or manual, but these things can easily be looked up in places such as [...] or such. And these items are not essential to the overall gameplay experience, more like helpful tips for example the trick with pulling recruits to your hiding boxes rather than all the way back to the truck.
But this game is a worthy addition to any MGS collection or playing experience. I bought this game because I wanted a story, whereas the MGSPO+ is a multiplayer expansion, no "story" just gameplay. I'm proud I own a copy. Hope this was helpful.

The game follows Metal Gear Snake Eater, and it it gives you back story of big boss (aka naked snake). The game incorporates a feature which allows you to recruit enemy soldiers after they have been interrogated by your team to help you along your mission(s). With the enemy soldiers you can put together multiple sneaking units to do the missions, spy units to uncover more details of the map, a medical unit to research life recovery and stamina recovery supplies, and a tech unit to research and develop new weapons for your convenience.
Metal Gear Portable Ops' camera is hard to get use to at first, but it can be controlled and adjusted with the D-pad. The Boss battles in the game aren't too complex, but they pose quite a challenge for the player. Overall the game has a great story, good strategic game play, new interesting characters, and awesome graphic novel (comic style) cut scenes with audio over it. The cut scenes aren't nearly as long as an average MGS cut scene on any other of the games in the series, but the length is necessary because they all get straight to the point. Overall, the game is an excellent game for MGS fans, or for anyone that likes stealth mission based games.
