Metal Gear Ac!d 2 sees Snake taken captive by a man claiming to be an FBI agent. His captor coaxes Snake into infiltrating a top secret research facility, but is in fact a clever trap devised by the US Military and Venus, a female secret agent in charge of research and overseeing the creation of a third generation Metal Gear mechanoid system. As Snake attempts to defuse this potentially devastating project, he finds himself haunted by images from the past, and faces not only a wealth of tough adversaries, but his personal demons.While the new game retains the popular card-based combat and movement system of its predecessor, Metal Gear Ac!d 2 enjoys a far more instinctive and comprehensive control system than that of the first game.
Key advances include the ability to control Snake directly within 'Move' modes, while changing commands are now displayed in real-time to facilitate more rapid actions within action situations. This combines beautifully with a wider range of actions, too, with familiar Metal Gear moves such as slinging, crawling, and fighting now all accessible - and via the touch of a button.These additions drastically broaden Metal Gear Ac!d 2's strategic possibilities and the speed at which decisions can be made.
Further depth is then added with the number of cards on offer more than doubles from the original game's 200 to a massive 500. These also feature new ideas, such as 'Linkage Cards' which grant the player bonuses, while 'Trap Cards' initiate specific traps tailored to the current location when used.Also key to card use is the new ability to upgrade cards to make them more powerful, while the innovative 'Cover Fire' system adds further depth to the game.
And with so many new features included, Metal Gear Ac!d 2 now includes a thorough Tutorial Mode to teach newcomers the many intricacies its stunning gameplay offers, and insights into the complex assaults the 500 cards can offer.Further additions come in the form of a new 'Arena Mode'. Akin to the 'Boss Modes' in previous Metal Gear Solid titles, this pits players against boss characters from previous games in the series, and is ideal for practicing new strategies. The popular 'Link Mode' also returns in an improved state, with players using the PSP's Ad Hoc mode to link up for one-on-one tag matches using personalised decks.

Posted, 12:07Game was quite good in my opinion. The story was a bit so-so, and the graphics weren't top notch, but the gameplay was fun and addictive. I love making a super sweet card deck and riping into those minions.
The boss fights were also really good, creative strategy without being too difficult. Overall I put in around 15 hours for one playthrough, not counting my restarts after dieing, so the value you are getting is awesome.
If you like card games you will love this, and the metal gear themes are an awesome touch.
.: December 8, 2005.: March 21, 2006.: May 19, 2006,Mode(s),Metal Gear Acid 2 (: メタルギア アシッド2,: Metaru Gia Ashiddo Tsū), stylized as METAL GEAR AC!D², is a developed by and published by for the in 2005. A version for mobile phones was released by in titled Metal Gear Acid 2 Mobile.Acid 2 is the sequel to the original, with the story set sometime after the events of the previous game. Like its predecessor, it follows an alternate continuity separate from the mainline series. The game uses a completely new cel-shaded graphic engine, replacing the darker graphics from the first game, and features an improved gameplay system.
It comes with a PSP add-on called the Solid Eye, which is a folding cardboard box with specialized lenses that fit over the PSP's screen, creating a. Contents.Gameplay Gameplay remains of Metal Gear Acid 2 essentially similar to that of: using a series of collectible trading cards based on the other games. There are new features, such as the SELL option for cards, allowing overstocked cards that the player cannot use to be sold for more points (in-game currency used to buy cards) and cover fire (when a player's ally is behind an enemy and has an equipped weapon in range of the target, when the player attacks, his/her ally takes a shot onto the target as well). Also added are the ability to move past doors instead of stopping when approaching, and characters can now pick up items such as weapons and card packs by simply running over them (instead of having to end movement on top of the item).The game uses a revamped engine, featuring a cel-shaded presentation, 3D equipment boxes, and new particle effects. There is a tutorial mode for beginners and a new 'Arena' single-player mode that allows players to battle boss characters from previous games such as and using the Acid 2 card-battling system.
There are also extra missions such as 'Sneaking' and 'Elimination' modes. The game can be also played in the 'Wireless Battle' mode (using ad hoc connection only). An additional 'Solid Eye Theater' mode is to watch videos of the Japanese women seen on posters and magazines throughout the Metal Gear series, utilizing the Solid Eye attachment.Card system The gameplay system consists primarily of the usage of cards (obtainable in-game, through a card shop, or other means such as codes or game completion). These cards have a variety of effects for the player, and most can double as a movement card (represented in the form of blocks, referenced as BLKS in-game).
Activation conditions include USE (where they can be used immediately if all conditions are met), EQUIP (where cards take up an equipment slot), or MOVE (allowing the player to move). Most cards can move the player 3 BLKS, but some cards allow more (or less), and a number of cards are dedicated movement cards, most of which are based on soldiers from the previous Metal Gear games. COST is also an important factor, as it affects turn order and is represented in the form of a small counter. It can be summarized as the time taken for the player to perform an action, so if the player has a cost of 0 and an enemy has the cost of 1, the player will go first, regardless of the number of turns he/she has had (unless a condition or card effect states otherwise). If the player (or enemy) builds his/her cost up to the amount that another character already has, that puts him behind the character with the equal cost in the turn order.

COST build up varies by card and is indicated in the upper-right corner of the card.There are 565 cards, more than twice the number of the original game, including upgradeable cards. Plot Story The story begins with a man known as Snake, a young woman named Consuela Alvarez, and two pilots named Dave Copeland and Roddy Louiz, flying into the United States illegally when they are arrested by the.
After being caught, Snake is pressed into a mission by his captor, an FBI agent named Dalton. Snake agrees to the job to free his friends and clear his name with Dalton.

As Snake and Venus search SaintLogic's research facilities, they encounter a researcher, Dr. Takiyama, and a young girl, Lucy, who proceed to join Koppelthorn's scheme. Before crossing to the building where Koppelthorn is located, Snake and Venus are met by Metal Gear Kodoque from the first Acid which was rescued before being destroyed during the events of the last game.Upon finally meeting with Koppelthorn, Metal Gear Chaioth Ha Qadesh, Lucy, and Dr. Takiyama, Snake and Venus learn that Koppelthorn has been 'resurrecting' his wife in the form of a young girl, Lucy.

An ethnic uprising that was occurring in Serena at the time was an opportune time to test the SaintLogic subjects.

After the massacre, Wiseman arranged for Snake to flee to the United States. Dalton was informed of Snake's entering the country and, as desired by Wiseman, apprehended Snake. Wiseman's original plan was for Dalton and Snake to attempt to infiltrate SaintLogic but become tangled in the facilities guards.
