Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for PSP Will Take You A Long, Long Time to Beat

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Screen

If there is something the PSP lacks, it is must have titles. The last really big killer app was God of War: CoO. Patapon is cool, but not what you would call a system mover. We were all delighted to hear that MGS is coming to the PSP in a new adventure  taking place a decade after MGS3: Snake Eater. The length of the game may surprise you.

It will take you well over a hundred hours to complete according to published reports. This makes Oblivion look like Quantum of Solace. I am torn on this latest news break. I want a really, really good game for the PSP, but am I willing to invest hundreds of hours into a game on a handheld? Hunched over for that long peering into a small screen is making me dizzy already. It is hard to complain about such occurrences but gamers always want the best gameplay, best graphics, and enough game to warrant a purchase. MGS: PW will likely give all three, but is it just too long for a handheld.  Thoughts?
