Features
  • Some changes are made to the standard Metal Gear Solid formula.
  • Movement is done on the analog stick; actions such as crouching and co-op actions use the directional-pad; melee actions, which include multiple throws within crowds of enemies, use the R button; and weapons use the L button with the R button.
  • Players will be unable to move while lying down, and will also have to crouch in order to pick up items dropped by soldiers.
  • The game itself cannot be paused while displaying the menu. The PSP would have to be put in Sleep mode to pause the game.
  • The game will feature a heavy emphasis on co-operative gameplay, with two players in main missions and up to four players in boss missions. Players can choose one of four different Snakes with different layouts.
  • For example, Armored Snake features heavy weapons at the expense of mobility and stealth, while Naked Snake moves faster at the cost of lower defense. There are several actions that can take place when two Snakes are next to each other. 'Snake-in' allows players to hold on to each other as one player leads the way, also allowing the Snakes to fire on the move.
  • Other co-operative actions include holding up closing doors, performing CPR on fallen comrades, sharing items, and acting as a spotter for other players whose vision is obscured.
  • Japanese voice actor for each character are listed first, followed by their English voice actor.[7]
