KEY POINTS:
Herald Rating: * * * *
Pros: The graphic novel-like story interludes are stylish but don't drag on. The game design is well suited to the PSP format, and the intriguing story picks up where Metal Gear Solid 3 left off.
Cons: Could have done with more level variety and a bit more variation of scenery, which is a tad drab in places.
Verdict: The Metal Gear Solid title the PSP has been waiting for. A must have for fans of action-packed role-players.
Censor's classification: M
