Line 2:
* [[Best Level Ever]]: Or more like, Best Minigame-slash-Cutscene Ever. {{spoiler|How awesome is it that you get to ''chase'' a running away Metal Gear ''on a horse'' while dodging missiles and trees thrown at you!? A freaking lot, that's how awesome!}}
* [[Best Boss Ever]]: The final battle with Peace Walker. Intense is the only word to describe it.
* [[Broken Base]]: Fans are divided as to whether [[Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops]] was made non-canon due to Peace Walker or not, due to a relative lack of references in it as well as Kojima's choice of words when revealing its development. However, it should be noted that Konami's website (as well as one still from one of Kojima's talks on the game) showed a timeline where Peace Walker and Portable Ops were both on it, indicating that at least officially, PO is canon. In addition, fans were also similarly divided in regards to whether Kazuhira Miller was still working with Cipher by the end of Peace Walker or whether he quit working with Cipher after Paz attempted to launch a nuke at the East Coast under what is implied to be their orders, although the ending and the call itself suggests the latter belief is true.
* [[Contested Sequel]]: Many [[Metal Gear]] fans who do not own the [[PlayStation Portable]] and/or care for the system's controls consider Peace Walker an unworthy sequel, much like Portable Ops before it. Naturally, this is [[Your Mileage May Vary|debated.]]
** Of course, this was fixed thanks to the [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|HD edition released for PS3 and XBOX 360.]]
Line 15:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: When Snake has to take the snuff from Strangelove, the pose he does to her while taking it from her hand makes it seem as though he's giving her hand the royal kiss (that practice in various monarchies where the subjects sometimes have to kiss the monarch's hand).
* [[Flanderization]]: The ''whole thing'' about comparing Costa Rica with Japan can be very jarring for Costa Ricans, (and Latin Americans alike) since the real reasons why Costa Rica doesn't have an army contrast with the reasons why Japan doesn't have one either.<ref> It's has something to do with the Latin American tradition of having the Army letting to do what they want, and being a social caste by themselves. The Costa Ricans are [[Genre Savvy]] enough to avoid that, and Costa Rica (along with Mexico, in less degree) are the only Latin American countries which the army are not a social caste different from the rest of society (In the Costa Rican case, they decided to eliminate the whole armed forces, just to avoid another coup d'etat like almost everyone else in that era.)</ref>
* [[Game Breaker]]: The Stealth Camo, the Infinity Bandana, and the Soliton Radar (which, ironically enough, was part of normal gameplay as early as ''[[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]]''). If it's any condolence, usage of the Stealth Camo won't allow you to S-rank missions, the Soliton Radar isn't useful until Rank Five, and the Infinity Bandana is acquired after a '''very HARD''' Custom AI fight. If that wasn't enough, they also require a ''very'' '''LONG''' time to develop, too.
** In Outer Ops, the Kampfpistol (a Nazi flare gun modified into a grenade launcher here) does 5000 damage to everything. Vehicles and enemy soldiers included, one-shot killing them (if not dropping their health to near-dead).
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Remember that little music video where Paz sings her theme song on top of Mother Base? {{spoiler|It's the exact same area where you fight and (presumably) kill her... with the song as the background music.}}
Line 31:
* [[Memetic Molester|Memetic Molestee]] - Paz's diary reveals Strangelove groped her under the guise of applying suntan. (Strangelove nearly fainted.) Then she gets a cold, and then Kaz tries to serenade her, and then exclaims that suppositories are good for colds... and then takes off his pants. And after that, Strangelove comes by with an "Indian remedy" that you rub on your chest.
* [[Moe Moe]] - Paz, the ''cutest'' girl in the franchise since Emma Emmerich. [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me]]!!
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Interestingly subjective: Many might dispute when or indeed if Naked Snake has crossed this in the prequel continuity so far. {{spoiler|However, Peace Walker does reveal the first time Big Boss starts using [[Child Soldiers]] (well, one anyways), which would pave the way to the children hanging around Zanzibarland in ''[[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]]''.}}
** Unambiguous with Hot Coldman. His very first on-screen appearance has him going beyond the [[Moral Event Horizon]] by shoving a paraplegic down the stairs, and he only gets worse from there.
* [[Narm]]: Keep hitting CODEC while facing off against Peace Walker and you'll hear a very panicked Huey lament 'Oh God! We're all doooooomed!'.
Line 42:
* [[Recycled Premise]]: The main character is called out allegedly to save a location from invading forces/a terrorist group, only for it to become apparent that there were ulterior motives from the people who sent the main character, to recreate a legendary hero to further control the populace, only for that to be revealed to actually be a front for a far more sinister objective involving human control, and the mole working for the hero also says "I'm taking it back!" and some variation of returning it to the mole's true employers when hijacking a Metal Gear? Oh, and the main villain for most of the plot up to a certain point also had a direct hand in manipulating one of the previous events in the series? Sounds a heck of a lot like [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'s plot.
* [[Scrappy Level]]: The torture chamber escape. In a throwback to Solid Snake's escape from prison in the original ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', there's more than one way to escape, but the game doesn't flat-out tell you what they are, {{spoiler|instead just expecting you to look around the room for unusual prompts,}} which irritates some players, and once out, you're practically naked (and literally naked, too, at least from the waist up). Having to button-mash very quickly for the first time since ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', with no way to opt out, doesn't help matters.
* [[So Cool Its Awesome]]: Many [[Metal Gear]] fans who own the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] believe that Peace Walker rivals ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|Snake Eater]]'' as ''the best [[Metal Gear Solid]] game ever made.'' For a game that belongs to a franchise full of awesomeness, that's saying something. Hell, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120717193724/http://psp.ign.com/articles/109/1095291p1.html IGN even stated that] this is the biggest game in the franchise, ironically (at first) available only on Sony's smallest system.
* [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel]]: This game is more or less a direct sequel to Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, and has the same basic idea of building a small army by capturing and indoctrinating enemy soldiers. However, Peace Walker builds on virtually every aspect of the game and pretty much blows Portable Ops out of the water.
* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: For a game geared towards younger audiences, it seems to get away with several things that were not meant for the age group, such as some very suggestive briefing tapes, a mention on Miller mooning the other MSF soldiers while drunk at what was implied to be a wild party, various references to the drug trade, a lot of smoking (explicitly shown as well as implied), and the fact that there are two dating missions where the ending of the mission implies that the two are having sex, either from a heterosexual (albeit allegedly pedophilic) manner (Paz Oretega Andrade) or of a Homosexual manner (Kazuhira Miller).
