Metal Gear Solid: M.P.O; First impressions

[emphier]

This is Metal gear through and through, it takes place imediately after Snake Eater and you meet Ross Camble in a jail, so there's going to be more back up history for the story.
Right, this has got me a little excited, cus you have to make a team, and use the members as acording to the mission. The health is more realistic as you heal whilst your in breifing, I haven't found health packs yet, so that makes you even more carefull.
Once you have a team, there is a cyber Survival mode and you can send your team out over the internet to get stuff, much like the Chocobo thing in ffx, your team can also die while doing this.
If you capture someone you have the ability to make them part of your team, not too sure how to do this yet but it should make for an interesting challenge.
In the ad-hoc mode you can conect all over the country and get new members for your team depending on where you are, so you have to take the out and play it while your out and about. That's it for now and I will post more as I get through it but I recomend this to anyone with a psp.

MORE:

ok, I'm gonna take it that folks know about mgs. Anyway There are no movies and the cut sceen's are in the style of the comic books,ie-it's all pen and ink work with splashe's of water colour. The voice acting is down to a minimum.
This game is more like a manegment game, it's fun looking at the stats and working out who is gonna be the best team for the mission ahead. The actual mission's I'm finding rather intense but easy, the lack of all the fancy stuff for me is adding to the atmosphere of stealth.
The humour is still with the game, I have a soldier that is impervous to dirty mags(LoL) and you can cpture the Majors. The missions can be completed in any order at the mo, but I think that will change.
The opotion not to play as Snake is very handy,but you still have to be carefull, also you can swap team members whilst mid-mission.(There are some handy cardboard box's about for you to hide in)
