Mission-based Gameplay
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker is a -stealth-action game
based around mission based gameplay. Play in single player mode
begins with a tutorial in which players square off against Snake
himself which serves as a way to familiarize themselves with a
control scheme that provides changes as well as improvements over
those featured in earlier MGS titles for PSP. These cover both
weapons and hand-to-hand combat. In addition, players also gain
experience using the controls to chain together moves for maximum
impact. Once through with the tutorial players embark on a series
of missions, the replaying of which offers new enemy actions, as
well as the possibility of new devices and tools. During combat
players are able to target specific areas of an enemy's body and
performance during each mission is ranked according to elapsed
time, number of kills and other criteria.
4-player Co-op Multiplayer
Along with a deep single player mode Metal Gear Solid Peace
Walker contains exceptional multiplayer co-op functionality.
Co-op action is facilitated via the PSP's local wireless ad-hoc
connection and features different types of missions. Missions
more dependent on stealth are limited to two-player games, while
others--for example, boss battles--are meant for games of up to
four players. Players have their choice of different versions of
Snake. These not only possess differing appearance, but more
importantly, differing strengths. During co-op play players can
pull resources by staying within a minimal distance from each
other This link is indicated by circles emanating around them.
While maintaining this connection resources can be shared,
including weapons, supplies and and overall , indicated by
a shared bar. Players are able to view partner's inventory
at a touch of the PSP's left or right face buttons, and when need
be can resuscitate a fallen companion. When linked players can
also move in unison by virtually tapping your partner's shoulder
with a touch of the D-pad and then making your move.
