Metal Gear Acid -- 6.5????

**Cyb0rgNinj4** · #1 (**permalink**) 23-03-2005, 09:20 PM

IGN.com gave MGA a 6.5 recently. I have seen many videos of it and have seen my friend play the imported verison. It is a really cool game, I don't understand why they gave it a 6.5. Sure, the gameplay might not be Metal Gear, but in any card-battle tactics game.... you have to wait your turn. Jeeeze IGN, be patient! Also, the graphics are amazing. Even though some textures are lo-res, viewing it on a small screen really makes it look great. I was going to get Ridge Racers, Twisted Metal, Metal Gear, and Lumines, but now I might get Ape Escape instead..........

graphics dont make games. its probably the card battle, that makes it not that great of a game.

Metal gear ? into a card game? thats not right but IGN are a bit harsh although you can't escape the truth right?

like chuddy said, metal gear cant be a card game

The card-battle system really takes you out of what Metal Gear is known for. Not only does it slow down the action, it also creates a slower tone for the rest of the game. 6.5 is a bit harsh, but not by much.

what do you think it deserves tehdsdude?

Bare minimum would be a 7.0, and maybe not even higher than that.

i can't believe you guys didn't expect crap scores for MGA.

I knew AC!D was going to get crappy scores, but IGN is scoring it low for all the wrong reasons. It's as if they just watched videos then reviewed it. :P

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?
