Peace Walker Gets Perfect Score

Famitsu Magazine have given Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker a perfect score, confirming that this game isn’t just going to be popular for just its looks.

The review which is broken down as 10, 10, 10, 10 or 40/40, gives nothing but praise for the game with comments stating that the “single player is consistently thrilling and totally absorbing” and that “during co-op play, while the feeling of tension is reduced because you have friends with you on the mission, the game does manage to create a strong sense of togetherness.”

Other comments from the review say that,

• The story and cut scenes have a charm, making the game feel like an “evolved” Metal Gear Solid.
• The Mother Base portion of the game is deep, and it’s impossible to stop sending POWs over via balloon. The balloon system will make it so that you won’t want to kill enemies — which is the actual aim of the series.
• Some of the actions are missing, but the confusion clears once you get used to it.
• Controls during battle are complex, but you’ll get used to it.
• Menus are well designed and easy to use.

It is also mentioned that the play time is around 30-40 hours which seems very impressive for a PSP game.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is released in the UK and Europe on the 18th June.
