Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker demo = Immense Win

Never thought id be doing another blog so soon since i like to space them out a bit but here goes, and no i wont be talking about my school like everyone else cuz i don't want to talk about it, or hear about it. :P ( take the hint :lol: jk)

So yesterday as i was checking out the tokyo game show coverage i happened on to a post that said Ign was handing out the MGS peace walker demo for free. So i downloaded it as fast as possible onto my psp. First off the game has fantastic production values and the cutscenes are just awesome, mixing in game cutscenes and stylish comic book like ones in the same vain as the ones from portable ops (although they got the main artist to them this time).

The demo first starts you off in a training tutorial but i couldnt really use it since its all in japanese so i used a faq sheet made to show the mapping of the buttons. The controls are smooth and fluid but they take some getting use to since they are rather awkward in a way. In the demo you get to do a few challenge maps from the game which are layed out pretty well and gave me a run for my money since i was still new to the control scheme. The over the shoulder aiming returns from MGS4 and for the most part it works pretty well but i still have to get used to the face buttons controlling the camera. Overall the demo is excellent and i am thrilled that i got a chance to play it, the only thing im wondering about is why in this game cant snake crawl? Miner gripe aside anyone who has a psp and is a metal gear fan should check out this demo
