An 87 average from its 232 true believers. This is about the gunplay. Fantasy, historical set the stage, the shooting does the talking. A single-player game with no interest in being anything else. Respect.

About this game

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth video game and is the third action-based Metal Gear title made specifically for the PSP. The gameplay consists of two primary modes: Mission and Mother Base. Mission are the actual action sequences of the game where the player must infiltrate an enemy territory or fight a boss, whereas Mother Base is an army management. Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula: the player is now unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the first game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling ability.

After the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Naked Snake isolates himself from the United States and sets up home in Colombia. Here he creates Militaires Sans Frontières, a private military group that provides support for countries in need. But at the same time, an unknown army of well-equipped soldiers has taken over the defenseless country and brought along a nuclear warhead labeled Peace Walker to demonstrate their power. Naked Snake is asked by the government to save the country along with his Militaires Sans Frontières.
