Story
Stories tell of a legendary soldier who once waged war against the world. His
name was Naked Snake, a.k.a. Big Boss, and the truth behind this legend will
finally be told. The era is the 1970’s. Big Boss had stationed his "Soldiers
Without Borders" in Colombia, South America, where he was approached by visitors
from Costa Rica, a "nation without a military." In the wake of the Cuban Missile
Crisis, as Latin America became a key to maintaining the power balance between
East and West, Costa Rica had miraculously managed to maintain its peace and
neutrality. However, in various regions of the country, a mysterious armed force
seemed to be engaging in suspicious activities. Now, to preserve peace in this
nation without a military, the "Soldiers Without Borders" move into action. In
time, they would be known as the founders of "Outer Heaven." Forge a new path
and live the legend with Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, the first official Hideo
Kojima game on the PSP system.
Mission-based Gameplay
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker is a tactical-stealth-action game based around
mission based gameplay. Play in single player mode begins with a tutorial in
which players square off against Snake himself which serves as a way to
familiarize themselves with a control scheme that provides changes as well as
improvements over those featured in earlier MGS titles for PSP. These cover both
weapons and hand-to-hand combat. In addition, players also gain experience using
the controls to chain together moves for maximum impact. Once through with the
tutorial players embark on a series of missions, the replaying of which offers
new enemy actions, as well as the possibility of new devices and tools. During
combat players are able to target specific areas of an enemy's body and
performance during each mission is ranked according to elapsed time, number of
kills and other criteria.
4-player Co-op Multiplayer
Along with a deep single player mode Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker contains
exceptional multiplayer co-op functionality. Co-op action is facilitated via the
PSP's local wireless ad-hoc connection and features different types of missions.
Missions more dependent on stealth are limited to two-player games, while
others--for example, boss battles--are meant for games of up to four players.
Players have their choice of different versions of Snake. These not only possess
differing appearance, but more importantly, differing strengths. During co-op
play players can pull resources by staying within a minimal distance from each
other This link is indicated by circles emanating around them. While maintaining
this connection resources can be shared, including weapons, supplies and and
overall health, indicated by a shared health bar. Players are able to view
partner's inventory at a touch of the PSP's left or right face buttons, and when
need be can resuscitate a fallen companion. When linked players can also move in
unison by virtually tapping your partner's shoulder with a touch of the D-pad
and then making your move.
Features
The Latest Title in the Metal Gear Solid Series - A true continuation
of the ever-evolving franchise that stood the test of time and started the
stealth action genre, Peace Walker is the first title on the PSP system in which
mastermind Hideo Kojima has fully taken up the reigns to direct, write, and
design the game himself.
Extensive Content - Arguably one of the deepest PSP games to be released
as Kojima Productions pushes the boundaries of the platform to new levels while
blending various game styles together in ways that will captivate and engross
both veterans and newcomers to Metal Gear.
Proven Gameplay, Story, and More - Fans of the series will enjoy the
exhilaration of familiar stealth elements of previous MGS titles and will also
be enticed by the new gameplay features making their debut in Peace Walker.
Those expecting a typical stealth game will be blown away by the Peace Walker
experience. This game is a blend of action RPG elements, RTS elements for a PSP
experience like none other. Staying true to Metal Gear form, the entire game
experience is woven together by a gripping story which unfolds through the
artwork of Yoji Shinkawa and acclaimed comic book artist, Ashley Wood.
Unique Online Multiplayer Support - Peace Walker provides up to 4-player
co-op gameplay, which is a revolutionary first for the series that introduces
the all-new Co-op Ring and "Snake Formation." The Co-op Ring allows gamers to
interact and build their camaraderie through the sharing of items, equipment,
and life gauges during the heat of battle, while the "Snake Formation" lets one
player take the lead so the others can focus on defense.
Massive Replay Value - Replaying missions in Peace Walker earns players
new stuff and experiences for Snake that can potentially change your experience.
