Metal Gear Acid -- 6.5???? - Page 2

MGA was a horrible idea. Anyone remember the real reason they made it a card game? Because making a real metal gear game would require too much disk streaming, cutting the battery power down even further. I think it deserved what it got. A sony fanboy friend and fan of metal gear both agree that it deserved what it got. Heck, the only thing good they had to say about it was the enemies were cool... If you want a real strategy, go for X-COM: UFO Defence, also known as UFO: Enemy Unknown in europe. It's old enough you can get it free online now. Requires winzip. Also, when it is done, the sun icon (not the alien head) is the one that works.

IGN just can't let go the fact that it's not like the original resulting in this average score. 6.5 isn't "bad"... it's just not in par with it's original. Besides, IGN smells... I'd wait for Gamespot to review them. ;)

Chuddy, that could happen, but imo, not likely. It'll maybe stay in it's action genre but vary in the way it plays. Konami would be high to make a tennis game for MGS ... unless Snake makes a cameo. =/

I know this is a pretty wierd comparison but i think metal gear solid will go in the kind of same direction as mario; go through the first stages of life doing what he does best then make games that have nothing to do with the core mechanics and style of the original outings but to star in games that have totally different genres etc, card based, party based and tennis based only to name a few.

Please say you get me?

lol, metal gear tennis? or metal top gear solid (karting game)? gotta love that name

Don't get upset because "one" crappy site said so....

http://www.gamestats.com/objects/664...?ui=gamefinder

Someone gave it a 7 =O That's good enough! :D

Gamestats is connected to IGN. Basically that's two crap scores from ign.

Did you even check out the site? ;)

Gamestats posts the reviews of other companies... not just itself.

If your looking for a good score for MGA,Gamespot gave it 8.4......

i think it was an 8.2 actually....

but it doesn't matter, gamespot's ratings are bad (despite what shadowmarth might say)
