Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PSP) is a Classic

Last time I counted, there were about a million games out for the PSP.  A large percentage of the games are horrible, a fair amount are mediocre, there are some really fun games, and then there are some awesome games.

Meggie’s brother, Danny, and I like to discuss video games, often recommending games for various consoles to each other.  A few months ago, Danny let me play Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops.  I played it for a few minutes, and decided it would be a good game to try out.  When I read about it, the reviews are all very positive.  So, I decided to get it.  For some reason, I couldn’t find it anywhere.  It must be really good or invisible, I thought.

I finally got a copy of it on Friday night.  I can safely say it is a PSP classic.  I have only awarded that title to Loco Roco and God of War: Chains of Olympus.  Yes, I am starting my own personal video game awards.  I’m that important.

Here is my rating of the game:

Graphics: A-
Story: A
Gameplay: A

The storyline is amazing.  It is exceptionally original.  It takes a few hours to figure out the complexity of the game, but when you finally do, the payoff is worth it.  Most of the time, I trade my games in when I am done playing.  I plan to keep this one.
