During fierce battles, the music would really get you pumped up. There really isn’t sad music in this game, like you mostly have heard in the Metal Gear Solid series. The reason I say that the soundtrack is perfect for the game is because there really isn’t any sad parts. The whole game is basically one big battle scene.
Ac!d 2 has new features added to it that Metal Gear Ac!d never had. For starters, the graphics are far better than what Acid itself had. The game play has advanced so much you probably want to trash your copy of the first iteration on the PSP.
This game also has over 500 cards, the new character Venus, Arena Mode which is for you Metal Gear Solid lovers who want to use your cards to face against bosses from previous Metal Gear Solid games such as Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Vamp, Fortune, The Boss, and The End. Another feature is the Solid Eye System, which enables you to watch videos (such as the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots teaser trailer) in 3-D mode.
The Solid Eye System is not the greatest toy invented for a video game due to the fact that your eyes strain after watching one video. So you could consider this the cheap version of the Virtua Boy.
For all of you lucky fans who own a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Ac!d 2 allows interconnectivity between the two games. This feature allows you to take photos, then transfer and view them in 3-D with the Solid Eye System.
One of the big features that everybody loves is the Secret Cards you can unlock (only in the U.S. and European versions). You have cards from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (for the Playstation 3) that you can get your greedy little hands on.
There are also four fan-made cards, which you can unlock (Jack from MGS3, a Banana Skin, Possessed Arm and Emma's Parrot).
Overall, this game is incredible. From Metal Gear slaying, to the adrenaline pumping soundtrack, to the superior features that make the game so much fun, Metal Gear Ac!d 2 is a Metal Gear and Yu-Gi-Oh fan’s dream come true.
Metal Gear Ac!d 2 is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB for Blood, Sexual Themes, Violence.

Wow. Just wow. After playing the first MGA, I was thouroughly and pleasently surprised with Metal Gear Ac!d 2. First off, Konami fixed the basic actions of the game; you don't need a specific card to crawl, press against a wall, or do cqc anymore, you can just use any card. The decks are more balanced than ever; I found myself having to think strategically before every level, and after playing through the game once, you realize that the strongest cards aren't neccesarily the best. Meaning that every card serves a purpose, even ones you ditched a while ago. The gameplay in this game is unbelievably addicting, and the music is unforgettable; one of the best soundtracks ever to grace my PSP headphones. I seriously suggest you buy this game.
