5. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
The first real translation of the patented Metal Gear Solid style of play is a good one. I guess it's third time's a charm, because the first two card-based Metal Gear Acid games deviated from what makes Metal Gear good: stealth action.
Portable Ops returns to the series' stealth-action roots.
It takes influence from a number of Metal Gear games, but Portable Ops is completely unique in its own right. It's all centered around Big Boss, and it's basically one rogue outing for Snake. The way the game is presented, though, is in short gameplay bursts that make it extremely original on the PSP. The main part of the gameplay is getting enemies to join your cause, which becomes very strategic regarding the abilities of the soldiers that you choose.
Portable Ops gets bonus points using the PSP's Wi-Fi in new ways and for being the first game to utilize GPS.
