"For all of you Metal Gear Solid fans who were shocked that the last two Metal Gear titles for the PSP were turn-based strategy games," he begins, "here's Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, an actual third-person action title that's closer to what you wanted - and a whole lot more." As of this writing, the title currently pulls in an average review score ratio of 86% at .ġUP's Thierry Nguyen scores Portable Ops at a 9.5 out of 10, the highest score recorded for the title thus far. Though fans have expressed concern as to whether such complexities could translate well to a portable system, Portable Ops has thus far earned high marks from the gaming press. Featuring stealth-based action reminiscent of previous Metal Gear Solid titles for the PlayStation and PS2, Portable Ops serves as a direct sequel to 2004's Metal Gear Solid 3: Sneak Eater, and promises appropriate complexity in gameplay and narrative. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, on the other hand, offers a more traditional take on the Metal Gear series. Though the Metal Gear name is most often associated with the stealth action subgenre, the PSP has so far only received a Metal Gear-related digital comic title and the Metal Gear Ac!d series, which places gameplay emphasis on turn-based strategy. The series' recent PSP entries, however, have been far from what fans have expected.
