Summary
Snake's back and returning into his old stealthy ways. Snake's first PSP outing follows the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and provides a missing link in the ongoing Metal Gear mythos.
The year is 1970 and follows the dubiously-named Naked Snake as he sets up Foxhound. His aim? Take down the treacherous Fox unit which has started a nasty revolt in South America. Players will learn more about characters such as Para-Medic, Major Zero and Sigint, as well as bearing witness to Snake's greatest loss, an event which gets the ball rolling for later happenings in the Metal Gear Solid timeline.
There's a strong emphasis on team building in Portable Ops, and we don't mean in a wishy-washy corporate way. You'll recruit other characters as you progress, building an elite fighting force to suit your style of play.
The game also features a new third-person camera system designed to optimise handheld play. You'll be able to take in more of Snake's surroundings, choosing where best to do your stealthy thing.
Portable Ops also makes use of the PSP's wireless functionality for multiplayer skirmishes. You'll be able to hang on to your team from single-player mode or, if you prefer, get rid of the blighters as you trade characters.
