Some Retro Fams sell this at a very low price, all the way down to three dollars, a steal! Portable Ops Plus is still worth the retrolio price, regardless.Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus is NOT Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. The storyline has been removed and has little to do with the original game itself, besides the setting and characters. Set right after the events of Portable Ops, Naked Snake is tasked with rounding up the best soldiers the world has to offer, and making the best squad possible. In Portable Ops, you had Soviet Soldiers, Officers, the FOX unit, and the main characters. Portable Ops Plus expands this roster to a staggering degree; over 100 unique soldiers are available for recruitment. These include many types of friends and enemies from nearly all Metal Gear Solid games to date. Gurlukovich soldiers (guards from MGS2), Navy SEALs, GRU and KGB agents, the Ocelots, even Genome Soldiers all the way from MGS1 can be encountered and recruited (you can also use a special item on Genome Soldiers that has an awesome effect, but I won't spoil it). Included as well are many "Special Characters", heroes and villains from other Metal Gear titles. For example: Clearing the new mode on Normal nets you Old Snake (the best hero of the game, with the highest LIFE and STAMINA, and great skills with all weapons), beating it on Hard will give you Raiden (who is always allowed to use his katana, giving him a huge advantage), and having save files from Metal Gear Ac!d 1 and 2.
