like in the original Metal Gear Solid, the player's overall performance is graded with a codename after completing all 13 stages, with the codenames varying depending on the difficulty level chosen at the start of the game. Game modes In addition to the main story mode, Ghost Babel offers the following alternate game modes. Stage Select Allows the player to replay previously cleared stages in order to achieve a higher ranking.
