I beat it.

Still feel the controls were as close to great as you can get on the PSP. I played "Shooter Type" and it worked out fine. The only aspect that really suffered was aiming but that only occured a number of times. At other times, I was easily and quickly popping off helmets and then landing headshots, which I'm very, very surprised about for a PSP game. The action sequences handled themselves well. Hell, I kind of want to play a couple again.

But the most important part is the story, and this is the true sequel to MGS3: Snake Eater. The use of motion comics instead of cutscenes is not as epic as in-engine cutscenes, but they didn't take away from a great Metal Gear story. There's several big things that fans of MGS3 especially need to partake in, and the way it was presented was great. The only complaint I could have is abstract, that MGS3 was supposed to be the game that explains why Big Boss turned out the way he did, and the more time that passes, the more clear to me it becomes that that game really answered that question, and a couple others of the series as well. Every sequel they make with Naked Snake diminishes that. But, it was a great story, definitely Kojima, it touches on many themes and came out well.

So there's also literally an endless amount of stuff to do. It's like getting a full Metal Gear game with a full game of bonus missions. This is also factored into different goals you strive for, some of which are kinda spoilers that I don't want to get into, but basically the missions are numerous, varied, and serve multiple, separate goals you have for the Militaires Sans Frontieres (the pre-cursor to the original Outer Heaven PMC) and the Mother Base.

It's easily the best PSP game, and like a reviewer said - you forget you're playing a handheld game. The sound, graphics, gameplay, story, music, pretty much everything are top notch. If you're a fan of Metal Gear or Kojima, you need to play this.
