Is it still worth playing?
Hideo Kojima wrote, directed and designed this 2010 stealth action game for the PlayStation Portable. It is set in 1974, as Snake leads a private mercenary group while an armed force occupies Costa Rica. The game has two modes. Missions send the player into enemy territory or against a boss, with Main Ops following the story in a fixed order and optional Extra Ops asking for goals from target practice to retrieving secret documents. Performance is ranked afterward: excessive killing and being spotted lower the score, while staying hidden and subduing guards without lethal force earns more. Mother Base is the army management mode behind the missions. Today it is an easy game to dip into for a mission or two between other things.
