Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus Now Gold, Dated for North America

October 16, 2007 2:00 PM

Released last month in Japan, the English version of Kojima Productions' revamped Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus (PSP) has gone gold and will makes its way to retail on November 13 in North America.

An update to last year's Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, the Plus version will include additional multiplayer maps like an updated Metal Gear REX hangar from the PlayStation original Metal Gear Solid and more playable characters like Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty's (PS2) Raiden or the older mustachioed Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3).

The single player mode will also receive expansions in the form of a Shooting Range, Training Mode, and Infinity Mission--requiring players to go through progressively more difficult challenges. Kojima Productions announced Portable Ops Plus this summer at Sony's PlayStation Premier 2007 event in Japan, but hadn't revealed specific plans for a North American release until now.

Hm, don't think I care about this one. I liked the original, even though I was quite disappointed with it. The levels seemed so lego-like and lacked atmosphere, the story was extremely disappointing. It somehow felt like they didn't have enough budget to live up to the expectations of a MG game.

  I just couldn't do the controls. I really wanted to finally like a MGS and still failed.

    Same way I felt, at least with the controls. My enjoyment of MGS has varied from game to game--at times I love it, but most of the time now, I just want to play something else instead.
