Big
Boss returns to battle in this all-new MGS action game for the PSP
system. Set in 1970, the game acts as a missing link in the ongoing
Metal Gear Solid narrative, as players learn more about returning
characters such as Para-Medic, Major Zero and Sigint and also witness
Big Boss' greatest tragedy -- one that sets into motion the events of
later games in the series' timeline. Portable Ops introduces a new team
building mechanic that brings additional depth and gameplay variety to
the series -- players can now capture and recruit characters and train
them to be part of their army to help Snake on his mission! The game
also features fully-voiced cut scenes with original artwork by
acclaimed visualist Ashley Wood.
In
addition to a full-fledged single player mode set after the events of
MGS3: Snake Eater, the game's multiplayer modes let players take their
custom squad online to do battle across new levels, featuring a unique
"White Flag" mechanic that will allow players to fight to the death
(with your valuable squad on the line if you lose) or surrender to
compete again.
