Metal Gear Acid review

What it's Metal Gear Acid? Hi-tech chess. It can get pretty complicated if it's played like a typical Metal Gear game. It shares the spirit of a Metal Gear, but ever so slightly. Additionally, Metal Gear Acid isn't proactive or remotely visceral. It will grate on the nerves at times because of all the waiting that transpires. And while the sneaking feels like Metal Gear, the break-away action sequences that release the tension aren't there to reward your cunning and patience. 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.



7.0 Presentation
A good story and cast, even if it's totally moot for Metal Gear fans. Attractive menus and "Intermission" are somewhat stylish.
8.0 Graphics
It looks, feels and smells like Metal Gear. Then you go shoot somebody, and they just stand there taking it. Some more realism would have gone a long way.
6.0 Sound
Metal Gear themes and sound effects are nice, but where are the character voices?
6.0 Gameplay
It divided the office whether this game was brilliant but sluggish or just clumsy and sluggish. Then we played Link Battle, and it became painfully clear even to the diehards.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
There are lots of stages, and unlike other Metal Gear games, you can play each area again for a perfect stealth score. If you can get into this game, you may be playing it for a while.
6.5 OVERALL

this game was a dissaster ever since it was first announce. card based crap..
