Developer/Publisher: Kojima Productions/Konami Released: May 2007

Played on: Vita (PSP emulation)

In an over-enthusiastic attempt to play everything in the Metal Gear series, mostly because they’re so whacky but so irresistible to play and experience, I downloaded the PSP game Portable Ops to my Vita. On the plus side, they designed some nice small levels that work well on the handheld. On the negative, the controls are seriously hampered by their PSP limitations and become quickly frustrating. There is the introduction of an interesting mechanic where you kidnap enemy forces and get them to join your crew, but it got a bit annoying after a while to manage that and keep dragging people to the truck.

Verdict: I only played this for a few hours then called it quits. But based on those few hours, I’d say this is missable.

Should Bradley play this: No.
