I knew going into this that this Metal Gear was not one of your typical picks from the series.  I did not, however, expect the game to be this good.  Metal Gear: Acid has done away with complete freedom of movement and actions and has limited it to what you have been dealt of your card deck.  I figured this game would be a mildly entertaining way to kill a long car trip and make a fairly decent first PSP game.  I can honestly say I got much more than I expected.  I love how the game feels and how much more you are forced to think and sneak around as opposed to relying on guns to get the job done (that's not to say weaponry is completely cast aside. I'm actually a big fan of how they incorporated the different types of weapons).  And best of all, they still have the cardboard box!  Also added in for a twist are character cards, each with a different effect which can really pull you out of a tight situation.  Overall, I am extremely pleased with this purchase, and even if you're one of the folks who bought it expecting it to be a first-person shooter, give it a second chance, huh?  You won't be disappointed.
