Yesterday I ran to GameStop and picked up MGS AC!D used for $10 (they sell it for $30 new) I wasn't expecting too much from it, just thought it would be interesting to try out... And now today I look at my play time and I'm already up to 7 hours 30 minutes play time .. Does anyone else find this game to be extremely addicting? There is something about it that just keeps me playing, I swear its a drug...

I also love the Metal Gear Ac!d series.  If you think the first one was good, wait till you play the second one.  I think it's even better!

A lot of people here returned it because they were expecting it to be tactical stealth espionage, but it turned out to be something different. I was tempted to pick it up, but it's pretty expensive and I'm not sure if I'll like it. How does the gameplay work? It sounds interesting.

Because each time you progress in the game you get to win special cards of characters, I played it several times and couldn't stop but the first one was kinda slow, the second is faster and if you are planing to get it, you can transfer one card from ACID1 to 2, which is helpful.

Agreed. I never played 1 but 2 is a great game with a lot of replayability.

If you think MGA is addicting, you should try MGS: PO online.

Yeah it should be somewhere in the PSP top 3 because it's an exclusive. I finished the 1st game for like 5X so the addiction part is there, & I also saw MGA2 yesterday used for 13 so I picked it up because i know the 1st 1 was good.

I have MGS: Acid 2 and I still like it to death. It's one of the best PSP games I have. People just expect too much from it. It's all good.

Metal Gear Ac!d is great. I have both of em, I'm just waiting to complete the first one. Time flies when you're playing it too. The 3 Metal Gear games for the PSP are reason enough to buy the PSP.

Yes. Time flies like crazy when you're playing it. I've been playing at work (bought AC!D 2 also, been dedicating time to both AC!DS) and the gamesare just so much fun.. Usually I'll buy a game and get tired of it in a matter of hours because its more of the "been there done that" type situation.. But I've NEVER played anything like the MGS AC!D series (14 hours play time dedicated to AC!D 1 + 2, and I've only owned em for like 2 days :|)

Usually I have my routine PC gaming night about two orthree times a week butsince I got MGS AC!D I could really careless for playing PC games now..

Wow, i didn't know these games were that well liked. I agree to the fact that so many people expected too much from these games. I saw them at CC and should have picked it up. Im a huge fan of the MG franchise but the card battle thing kind of turned me away from the acids.

Thanks all, you have me convinced. Plus it's only $13 :P

I have yet to spend over $20 for a psp game, i love it!

So i was at CC today and decided to pick up acid2 for less than 10 bucks. Just one question, do i need to play the first acid to understand the story of acid2?

Not really the story of the first one doesn't tie into the 2nd one that much.

It's a great game. I recently picked up and started playing through the first one, and so far it's taken me twenty-one hours to get to the final end boss of the game which sadly I can't beat. But I did go out and buy the second one. I definitely like the game and think that the card-based approached is interesting. And it's actually a fitting gameplay for this type of game as well.

It was in their last weeks ad. They had their "cool deals" thing goin where its 25% off selected games. It ended the 9th, so i pickedit up the last day i could.So acid ended up being less than $10.

And yea circuit city is in the states.

What a coincidence, I picked up MGA and Tales of Eternia for $5 after trading in 3 heinous games, and I can't decide which game to focus more on.

I actually went out and looked for Metal Gear Ac!d based on this thread, and though it took some getting used to, I'm so glad I got it.

I thought AC!D was the worst concept I had seen when I first got my PSP. I tried it out for 5 minutes and hated it. Later I found it cheap on a 'buy 2 get 1 free' sale at Gamestop or EB. I figured it was time to give it a try once again. I've put many hours into it and have the 2nd one waiting as soon as I finish the first. The only problem I have with it is that I need to be in the mood to play it. Most of the time I just want to mindlessly blow $#!t up and move on through the levels. It's not often that I want to sit and think about my next move, but when I get the urge, I can use up my battery life in one sitting.

And for those who haven't heard, Gamespot has dropped prices on MG AC!D 2 ($10?) and Infected ($15).
