After all is goog but it has many cards that you can`t use them all
and you can get frustrade when the cards you need dosn`t show in the screem
and you dont do wath is necesary when you are in touble

It's a pretty decent game if you come into it with a "Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest" turn-based frame of mind. But you will be quite disappointed as I imagine many people have been when they first bought it a while ago.

Call it bad marketing on Konami's part which is unfortunate seeing as how the PSP has been suffering in sales quite a bit lately. Anyways the game is okay although the explanations for its gameplaying style sucks! Expect some slowdown for the amount of action going on and also look at the character cards as a sort of Final Fantasy-style "monster-summons" type of card, like the Roy Campbell card.

As I said before when approaching MGA think "Final Fantasy" and you will be alright!

To all the people who are complaining about how they wanted an action game instead of a card-based strategy game, please do some research on a game before you lay down $50 for it or even $240 for a console.
Now, for those who know what they're getting in to, I loved this game. I do like card and strategy games, which I found this one to be very solid (no pun intended). But what really one me over was the cards themselves. If you haven't played the previous "Metal Gear Solid" games or even "Metal Gear" you may not find them interesting, but if you have you will find the cards to be a huge database from "MGS3-MGS2" and even a sneak peek at "MGS4".
Overall I found this to be a very enjoyable game.

When Metal Gear Ac!d was first released, it was the subject of scorn from the majority of Metal Gear fans. Excited by the prospect of a Metal Gear game on their new Playstation Portables, fans were dejected to discover that this wasn't really a Metal Gear game at all. In reality it was a spinoff title that didn't even exist within the same continuity. Worst of all, it wasn't even "Tactical Espionage Action"...it wasn't even an action game!

Instead, what Konami delivered us was a strategy/card game. Such games were not new - they had existed in mini-games in other RPG titles and even full-fledged "card" games had been released in the past, though many of these didn't cross the pacific.

Now that Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops has been released though, and given fans what they had been wanting since the PSP was released, this game is worth a second examination. It may have alienated the core Metal Gear fanbase, but for the type of game it is - it is VERY GOOD at what it does. The plot is interesting and the script well written. There may not be much voice acting in the game, but at least I feel like I can hear David Hayter's voice when Solid Snake is speaking. The advantage this offers is that as a gamer you need NO KNOWLEDGE of any previous title in the Metal Gear franchise. So if Metal Gear's stealth gameplay doesn't appeal to you, that doesn't mean this game needs to be ruled out. It is a very good strategy game and the card system produces an element of chance that causes any given stage to play out a little differently each time.

Perhaps you'll get lucky and acquire potent cards early, perhaps you'll instead have to rely on more mundane cards. The card game is, itself, simple while still having a variety of different cards that produce interesting effects. Also notable are the character cards - these cards usually depict someone from the series such as Grey Fox or Olga Gurlukovich. When you play their card, you get to see a short rendered clip of that character from their source game. Very cool.

If you're looking for a traditional Metal Gear game, then this is definitely one to avoid - check out Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops instead. However, if you have a taste for strategy games - regardless of whether or not you love or hate Metal Gear then this game is worth checking out.

This game is not what I expected for a metal gear game. The title should be changed, cause never had I thought that metal Gear could be played with CARDS!!! Sounds stupid huh? When I first picked it up I almost threw it in the garbage, but I figured I'd give it a chance. So after beating it several times and getting all the cards I realized how addictive this game was. It is interesting how the devlopers left the standard metal gear format and went to this. I think they did a pretty good job with it. However for changing the third person action gameplay to a turned base card action RPG almost, it loses a star out of spite.
