Even when accounting for the limited control of the PSP, Peace Walker is fantastic. The story and production values are phenomenal, obviously, but the gameplay is where it shines. It's still Metal Gear, but with a bit of a sim-mercenary thrown in the mix that's extremely addictive. It's like Portable Ops in that you can assemble a team, but it's way deeper this time around as you can assign your soldiers to perform essential jobs like R&D, medical work and even food preparation to keep your outfit running smoothly and efficiently. Then, of course, there's co-op. I've yet to try it myself, but I can't see it as being anything but a good time. Though that also leads into my only complaint that some of the challenges seem to have been made with co-op in mind, making it a bit difficult in some instances when going solo.
