why do they hate metal gear acid???

People who review and trash it because it's not what they wanted are complete and utterly useless fools.

A game is to be judged on what it is comprised of, and how the game is executed. For example, if you take the gameplay for instance: If Konami said you'd get 8 cards per turn, and when the game was released, you only got 3 cards. Or worse, the US version gets 2 cards, and UK version 3 cards, and Japanese version 8 cards, then you'd be justified in marking the rating down.

In example, folks hate Aliens vs Predator: Extinction because it's not a first person shooter like the other AVP games. Does this make it a bad game? Hell no, it's an RTS game, and has to be judged like an RTS game, not dissed because of personal bias against its core design.

Again, IE: I hate Kingdom Hearts to death, I hate what it stands for, and what the teamup of Disney and Squaresoft has wrought, but I will not for the life of me call the game a piece of shit and rank it low as a result. I couldn't call myself a gamer if I did that. I can acknowledge that its design meets and may exceed basic game requirements, and may be weaker in some of those areas. I'm not going to trashtalk it cuz I have so-and-so personal vendettas.

That shouldn't be the case here. I've yet to play more of Acid 1 and 2 (barely grazed them), and I didn't find many major problems with it up-front. Plus there isn't really a reason to have any bias against this game either, since Portable Ops was released. :\ If you wanted an action game, and not strategy/card game, get Ops and stop crying.

People compare it to MGS which is really dumb to do, it's a different style then the MGS series. If you compare any game to the Metal Gear Solid series you'll realize how superior it is.

It's about expectations.

Wait, you can do that? (2 at once??)
Cuz the standard MGS series needed that a long time ago.

it is a little bit bad that it is a card game but it is kick-ass game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
