Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker: The First Play Report

Posted by admin On March - 24 - 2010

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, out April 29 in Japan and June 8 in America, is still something of an enigma to a lot of people. Yeah, director Hideo Kojima has gone on in past interviews about how Peace Walker is “basically number 5″ in the series, but, like, it’s still not a “real” MGS game, right?

Wrong, according to pgame review coverage in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine. The Japanese outlet is the first to print full-on pgame review impressions of Peace Walker, coverage based on playing the complete game through to the end — something that took their writers anywhere from 30 to 50 hours to reach, depending on how much they messed with extra content. “I was doing other work during that time, so I only played morning ’til night for two days, but Peace Walker definitely has the most volume of any game in the series,” said one. “It’s not just a matter of size, either. Complete some of the main missions, and you’re allowed to do other things; complete those things, and more features get added. More and more things you want to get unlocked over time — not ‘things to do,’ but ‘things you want to do.’”

As an example, Famitsu brought up Mother Base, Snake’s offshore headquarters within the game. You’re allowed to recruit enemy soldiers and POWs to join Mother Base, assigning them to battle squads and research units, and doing this lets you expand the base and unlock new guns and weapons and items.
