The play mechanics are well realized and thankfully add something new the to genre. If you're a Metal Gear fan, the card collection aspect alone will make it worth you time for nostalgia's sake.

This game is great precisely because it's an original take on a familiar world.

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.

Tactical stealth using cards? Not everyone will like it, and some will hate it, but for those who can get around it, a great gaming experience awaits.

Card gameplay has some good moments but eventually just becomes monotonous.

Personally, I enjoyed the gameplay and story and upon completing it I was left with both satisfaction and the want for more.

It's cerebral and requires special attention, but that might not necessarily be fun -- all that hot PSP technology, just for an experience that's as graceful as a banana slug.

Metal Gear Acid is a decent tactical card battling game, but it is not a true Metal Gear title, and for me I expect no less.

A mealtime gear that hideo Kojima has nothing to do with it. Still nice but nothing special.I do not have to say anything more. But i need to write one hundred and fifty characters. i think my score can describe it.

As a fan of metal gear solid and following the story I just really couldn't get into this one considering it has such a eccentric plot of terrorist which is just two psychic dolls... It takes forever to finish one level based on moving cards and it just gets even longer as mission's get harder. This is find but for a psp on the go game. It's not in need To be so much.

One of the worst games i have ever played. Extremely boring, absurd and frustrating gameplay, no progression system, pointless plot, extremely unfair.
