Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops boasts ground-breaking online play that lets gamers recruit comrades to form a unique fighting force. The game follows the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as Naked Snake establishes FOXHOUND in an attempt to hunt down the treacherous FOX unit, which has started a bloody revolt in South America. Set in 1970, the game will be the missing link in the ongoing Metal Gear saga, as players will learn more about returning characters such as Para-Medic, Major Zero and Sigint and also witness Naked Snake's greatest tragedy -- a loss that sets into motion the events of later games in the Metal Gear Solid timeline. Full voiceovers for cinematics, performed by returning cast from MGS3 - Snake Eater

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... more info
Classic Metal Gear in Your Hand:
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.
SOLID PORTABLE:
Takes some time to get used to the controls, but once you do......IT'S METAL GEAR AND IT'S PORTABLE "THATS AWESOME!"
