Technical Notes

This version has been converted from the original PlayStation® disc format. As a result, gameplay may occasionally differ from the original disc version, and some features may not function as originally intended. Additionally, PlayStation® peripherals such as controllers, memory cards, and multitap devices are not supported, which means multiplayer, versus, and co-op modes are unavailable.

Legal and Licensing

Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol™ is a registered trademark of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Purchase and download of this title indicates acceptance of the PlayStation®Network Terms of Service/User Agreement and the item’s use restrictions. A one-time license fee allows downloads to up to two console systems and two portable systems linked to the purchasing account.

However, this version is an older PS one classic converted for PS3 and PSP. Some features from the original disc, like multiplayer and co-op, are missing, and the controls may feel dated. If you are expecting modern graphics or smooth mechanics, it might feel limited.

Overall, we recommend it for players who enjoy classic tactical shooters and don’t mind the old-school feel. For those seeking a fresh or multiplayer experience, this may not satisfy.
