Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (MPO)
"What's it going to be? Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to yourself?"
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops released in 2006 exclusively to PlayStation Portable. MPO shrinks the gameplay of MGS3 to the small screen, bringing with it a radically different control scheme and equipment system, team management and many more features that were further built upon in Peace Walker. Similar to Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, MPO splits the game into smaller chunks, with a variety of maps to visit and missions to tackle. Taking place after MGS3, Big Boss must stop a rogue FOX unit - led by a man known as Gene - from causing nuclear Armageddon.
Typical criticisms include the low framerate, unusual control scheme and the tedium of kidnapping people slowly dragging recruits to your truck in order to recruit them.
