   If you love turn based games this is a must have for the PSP. As Turn Based is a dying genre I'm glad they created Metal Gear Acid (and part 2). Storyline is good (8/10), graphics are quite good for a handheld (8/10) and gameplay is where this game shines (10/10). Winning cards and completing a good deck makes the game with a high replayability value. Custom missions with 'kill all enemies' takes a complete different deck then 'stay undetected'. Glad to have found the origional game in the stores today cause it really makes my collection of games for the PSP complete.… Expand

   What nobody's ever said is that the new, so-called Metal Gear Acid storyline has been especially introduced on the PSP primarily because of the mere 1.8gb of space available on a UMD. We should hold Konami in contempt for publishing this Yu-Gi-Oh! type of game just because they were too lazy to develop a game engine that can actually build upon its trademark cut-scenes and voice-acting. Instead they lavished the PSP's underclocked 300Mhz power for a design as primitive as Tetris. Heck, they could've avoided the turn-based bs by making the whole game shorter (the game takes at least 22 hours to pass). Instead they opted for a long, too unrealistically frustrating game, too boring for mainstream. Konami says this game is about Strategy, but this Metal Gear Acid strays too much from the original Metal Gear mold in its design and storyline. In this game, Snake's tremendously heroically-crafted persona is degraded into a supernatural wuss, who simply carries out orders he doesn't fully understand. CONS -Turn-based system (it becomes a b***h to plan every single step) -Lengthy storyline -No voice-acting -Too frustrating to find yourself under gunfire while you pray (despite being most likely agnostic) for the weapon card to become available. PROS -Near-PS2 graphics during cut-scenes (even though you're looking at the characters just standing there, breathing not even lip-synching) -Great satisfaction of finally passing the most frustrating, yet most IQ-stimulating action game you'll ever play. Conclusion In an era ruled by the fast pace of Halo, Gran Turismo, Twisted Metal, Tekken 5, etc. this game is just too slow, lethargic and disengaging it's insulting. The game is flat-out not for people that want enagging, fast gaming. Only hardcore Metal Gear fans will put up with the silly asian nonsense, inspired by the Pokemon to the Yu-Gi-Oh! models. If your're looking for a shooting game on the PSP wait till Coded Arms, Infected or Splinter Cell 4 (sched. for 2006).… Expand

   Horrible compared to the rest of the MG series. Card-based gaming ruins everything.
