Metal Gear Acid

"Great game! I'm really addicted to it!"

So, there's this game called Metal Gear Acid, and I heard it's a sequel to the Metal Gear Solids 1 and 2. I only have played Metal Gear Solid 1, but it was enough to make me go and buy another Metal Gear game. I've gone to store and bought it. I got home, took out the plastic, opened the box, and there was the UMD plus the manual. I don't usually read manuals, no matter how good or hard are the games, and this one was no exception. So, I've inserted the UMD into my PSP, and started the game. Kept playing it for 2 hours or so. When I decided to quit, man, I thought to myself "Man this is one of the best games I have ever played!". It simply was great! Perfect! Even if it was a card strategy game and not like the other action Metal Gears, I still loved it a lot! And yes, for you Pokemon haters and card battling haters, even though this game has cards, it's a great game. But now for the review.

Story - You are Solid Snake and need to get some data to save some people aboard a plane with hijackers. It is more detailled but can't remember right now. I can just tell you it's very good and detailed, full of twists. - 10/10

Gameplay - You start the game with 5 cards and use them as you like, for movement, attacking, etc... The goals aren't always the same, they change a lot. There is not a lot of boss battles, but in my opinion, it doesn't mind. Great here. I'm only giving it 8 eight here because it did not follow the previous games. It should still be a action game. - 8/10

Graphics - It depends here. There are some objects/persons that look like a Dreamcast game. And in most of the objects/persons it seems like a Playstation 2 game. Good here also. - 10/10

Sound - Good music, slow when you are not found, and when you're in alert mode, the music gets all jumpy. Also, the guns shots and movements and stuff have good sound. Good sound at all times. - 10/10

Play Time/Replayability - Very long game! I have for a month or so and I still have a lot to do. Besides, after you finish the game, you can collect all the cards. - 10/10

Final Recommendation - Buy it! Rush to the store as soon as possible and buy this great game! I love it, and I know you will too!
