Metal Gear Ac!d 2

Sneaking its way back onto the PSP this summer is Metal Gear Ac!d 2, sequel to the card-based action title starring master of stealth, Solid Snake.

This latest venture boasts more than double the number of cards (500, in total), including new features such as an upgrade ability in order to increase their power. If all this card business is new territory for you, don’t worry – the game’s tutorial system will teach you everything you’ve ever wanted to know about card battling but were afraid to ask, so you’ll soon be challenging complete strangers to wireless one-on-one tag matches.

There are improvements elsewhere, too. The revised control system offering a more intuitive and more immediate control of Snake now also delivers a wider range of moves (crawling, slinging and fighting, to name three), while the graphics have undergone the full beauty treatment and stepped out of the salon with a unique 3D viewing system. All in all, a fully decked-out package, then.
