Metal gear solid: Peacewalker review

Kojima's new installment in his spectacular metal gear saga has arrived. Peacewalker is funnily the biggest Metal gear game but is on sony's smallest system. This is my review on the newest, biggest installment.
Let's start with the graphics. Peacewalker's graphics are amazing for the PSP. The graphics are just as good as the graphics in God of war: Chains of olympus, which is hailed as being the game with the best graphics on the PSP system. The game's enviroments look amazing and are extremely diverse, from abandoned mining villages (above) to lush jungles.
The gameplay in Peacewalker is what you would expect in a Metal gear game but with a lot more. The stealth elements are present but you are given the opportunity to prepare for each mission by chosing your character, uniform, weapon and items. This gives a more strategic element to the game. One of the funnest things about the game is making your own motherbase, an offshore base, and upgrading it. There is so much to do in Peacewalker, you can recruit troops, capture vehicles and even create the first of big boss's metal gears.
As usual with kojima's games Peacewalker has a brilliant story.(MGS3 SPOILERS!) In peacewalker Big boss is hired by a KGB agent to remove the CIA from costa rica, He's reluctant at first but when his hirer offers a tape that could prove that the boss, his mentor, is still alive he accepts but soon finds himself in another plot which could lead to the end of the world (SPOILERS OVER). There is about 30 story missions, which for the first time are replayable without starting a new game, and over 100 extra ops. Extra ops vary from simple demolition missions to fighting monsters.
For the first time ever in peacewalker you can play the missions co-operatively in a mode called CO-OPS. The CO-OPS allows up to two players to complete normal missions and up to four to complete the boss battles, this is good as some of the boss battles are extremely difficult. there is also a multiplayer mode with game modes similar to that of MGO but unfortunately there is no WI-FI multiplayer.
Overall peacewalker is definetly one of the metal gear games and fits nicely into the naked snake story. It is one of the best PSP games standing tall besides god of war and resistance.
SCORE-9.5/10
