It's amazing how this game feels like a real game, despite being on a portable console. The story missions are divided into small stages that follow a chapter-based history. You play as Snake, grow your base, develop weapons, and even build your own Metal Gear. You can replay previous stages with new developed items to unlock better soldiers, and play side missions with different layouts and objectives. This game has absurd replayability, trust me.
The story is very good, and Yoji Shinkawa's art is always superb (it looks like a motion comic in the cutscenes). The game has that Kojima humor, which doesn't take itself too seriously and makes everything silly sometimes. The gameplay isn't perfect on the PSP and can be a little imprecise, but it's nothing that takes away from the fun. This game is amazing, and I recommend it anytime. It's a true PSP masterpiece.

This is how you remake a game! All three games in the series are great, with beautiful graphics and sound design. But the main point here is to notice how good the original three games were, with creative worlds, funny enemies, and interesting stages. This is a great game to play and to let kids play too.
The best skate game ever and one of the best games of all time. The story is very "easy going and funny", graphics, presentation, and design style are great (shout out to Jimbo Phillips's amazing art style in the comic-like scenes). The gameplay is refined to its best form, and the stages are very diversified from each other. Last but not least, the soundtrack is amazing. I beat this game over and over again; it's an amazing experience and a must-play anytime!

Peak Kart gaming here. Good story mode, charming characters, good graphics, fun race tracks and good gameplay. Fun time guaranteed.
This guitar hero game features songs by Van Halen and other bands that influenced them or were influenced by them. I wish I could recommend it to everyone, but the decision to remove joystick gameplay and require a guitar controller is foolish. Do not buy this game.

Do you know the embarrassment of hearing people talk about a funny video, then watching it and finding it's not funny at all? That's my relationship with this game.
I hyped my brother up to buy it because everyone was calling it a masterpiece. He bought it, and then we played it. The game has a fast-paced introduction of a father trying to save his daughter, then you watch a cutscene, skip some years, walk around people talking, then cutscene, then talking... then cutscene... then you play a little bit of hiding and sneaking, then cutscene, talking.... and that's it.
I know it's a beloved game, but don't play it. Just go to YouTube and watch a supercut of the cinematic cutscenes.

The game has the same creepy visuals and style as the original movie, but the gameplay is terrible. If you can get over the gameplay, the story is still too short. Just watch the movie instead.
This game looks like a rip-off of Mortal Kombat. Every character plays the same, the combat is heavy and slow, the character creation mode is bland, and the story mode, new protagonist, and villain are all generic characters. Just skip this game.
This was my first Ninja Storm experience, and I was eager to play the high-end Naruto game experience that everyone talked about. However, after playing for about 40 minutes, I never touched it again. It was an okay game, with beautiful graphics and responsive gameplay, but every other element was dull. The structure made every character feel the same, but there was still an imbalance in power-ups (a problem with anime games in general). The summarized arc history didn't unlock anything great, and there was no value in playing solo. Still a well-crafted Naruto experience, but only play it with friends; there's nothing here for anyone else.
Very small and short game. Heavy and slow gameplay, simple stages and story. The franchise became a whole experience in the sequel. Play only to learn more about PSX games.
1997
It could have been a very good game, if it weren't for the bad gameplay. It is still enjoyable, though. Buy it for the challenge and the fun mode to customize your board.
Cool game following in the footsteps of its predecessor, but less interesting overall. The adaptation from the comic book makes the story less impactful, and the roster is uninspired. Additionally, the attempt at a more realistic graphic approach makes the game look unpolished. It's a good game, but not as good as its predecessor.
2009
This is a leftover of Resident Evil 4, with an uninspired setting, story, and gameplay. It may be cool for some people on a very basic level, but it's a very bland game experience. It's not bad, it's just empty.

Amazing and unique experience! Great gameplay, graphics, style, and soundtrack. The game is made for hardcore gamers, so if you're looking for a casual experience, stay away. I personally dislike these kinds of games, but I can appreciate the product value when I see it. This is a modern classic.

This game has slightly less content than its rival series (NBA Live), but it is still a fun game. The graphics are average, with somewhat choppy animations, but the gameplay is fast-paced. Overall, this is a very simple but cool basketball game. Go to YouTube and search for the intro song, it's very catchy!
