    While the turn-based card battlin' combat might sound like the antithesis of edge-of-your-seat gaming, give Ac!d 2 a couple of hours of your undivided attention and I guarantee you'll be up to your eyes and ears in white-knuckle action.

    A stylish and unqiue game definitely worthy in the highly successful franchise. Its frustrating, yet successful card system, combined with challenging gameplay, excellent visuals, and funky soundtrack make a satisfying package for fans of the original Acid, strategy games, or something completely different.

    Tactical games never had it so good in the Ac!d series.

    Gorgeous throughout and with the inevitably high Kojima production values, Ac!d 2 is a more rounded and competent technical package than the first game, with a brand new story, but which otherwise plays near identically.

    Beautifully done tactics game. It doesn't need a job system like FFT; the gameplay is that fun, deep and good. The graphics are beautiful and the idea to go with a comic book style was brilliant. Also, it's ideal for portable gaming, as it's a turn based affair, and it's packed with content, including cinematics from Snake Eater as well as a 'quick-play' duel, where you can take on enimies from past iterations if you only have a few minutes and you don't want to start a new mission. Plus, there're multiple difficulty settings; the game is very replayable. On a side note, after Old Snake dies in MGS4, there's no reason why David Hayter can't live on as Snake in the side-story Acid series. I loved Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, but I'm all for Metal Gear Acid 3.… Expand

    Wow is the word for it, I liked the first one, but I love the second one. There is much more life in it, the story is better and there are more options then ever. Already played it over 100 hours now, And I stil play it, course it's a lot of fun, and the grafic is strange, but makes the game look beautiful, easier, better and well made. Almost 3 times better then the first MGA game.… Expand

    The game looks great, I've beaten the first one and it took a long time to get used to it, but Acid2 has easier controls and better options, I would recomend it.… Collapse

    For all those people who missed out on the first, the second is a much more playable Metal Gear adventure that maintains the strategic gameplay and addictive deck-building of the first. A must-play for any longtime Metal Gear fan.… Expand
