[[caption-width-right:350:Snake and Venus]]
''Metal Gear Acid 2'' (or '''METAL GEAR AC!D[[superscript:2]]''') is the sequel to VideoGame/MetalGearAcid, released in 2005 for the PSP. ''ACID 2'' has more than twice the amount of cards, cel-shaded graphics, a new Arena Mode, and an add-on for the PSP called the Solid Eye that allows the player to view the game in 3D.
Set sometime after the events of the first game, Snake (now a member of a Resistance force) reluctantly agrees to infiltrate a facility located in an island off the coast of North America, owned by a military contractor named [=SaintLogic=] Inc. There, he finds out that [=SaintLogic=] has been involved in the development of a new Metal Gear tank.
Following the release of both Acid games, along with ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid: Digital Graphic Novel'', Konami decided to produce a more traditional Metal Gear for the PSP titled ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPortableOps''.
----
!!Metal Gear AC!D 2 provides examples of the following tropes:
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Snake, to Venus' dousing, for the same reasons. He's also a bit skeptical of the second-to-last Boss's psychic powers. Until he walks on the ceiling.
* ArtShift: ''[=MGA2=]'' uses a cel-shaded style that makes it stand out from the rest of the series.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Lampshaded several times in the sequel - Dalton complains about the CARD system's explanations being confusing and jargon-filled when Wiseman rambles on about them, and while [[spoiler:Lucy/Metal Gear gloats, Snake and Venus calmly discuss Metal Gear's "glitch" that allows you to see its drawn cards.]]
** During the [[spoiler:fight with Venus]], you can [[spoiler:kick her off the ledge]] if you're lucky, allowing you to bypass the entire battle. [[spoiler:She's back up on the railing in the cutscene though.]]
* KudzuPlot: Lampshaded in 2 - Dalton struggles to keep up when something unforeseen gets into the picture.
* NoFourthWall: Snake and Venus calmly discussing the final boss's weakness as it rants on and on about her motivations.
* NostalgiaLevel: The [[spoiler:Metal Gear KODOQUE/Pythagoras]] fight in the second game.
** Somewhat played with in [=MGA2=]'s Arena Mode: The levels are based on [=MGS=], [=MGS2=], and [=MGS3=], but aren't based off any one level. On the other hand, you can fight Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Vamp, Fortune, The End, The Boss, Venus and Teliko (The first and last can kill you in a single turn using a SOCOM which sometimes hits up to twenty times!). The enemy teams in arena mode always contain two people and are not randomly generated. Sometimes you'll get seemingly strange pairings (like two Telikos) but other times you get the standard pairings (e.g. Revolver Ocelot & Liquid Snake).
* OldSaveBonus: If you have photo save files from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3: Subsistence'', you can connect your [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] to your [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 PS2]] and view the pictures in [=3D=] using the "Solid Eye" viewer in ''Metal Gear Ac!d 2''. Additionally, you can import a limited number of cards from the first game into your deck in the second game.
* ParrotExposition: Mostly absent from both games, but lampshaded in the second game.
-->'''Snake''': [[CatchPhrase Metal]] [[OnceAnEpisode Gear?!]]
-->'''Dalton''': You've heard of it?
-->'''Snake''': Not exactly... But that name sounds familiar.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: [=SaintLogic=] has a PMC force of its own, which was used to lock down its facility after a hostile takeover was made.
* PsychoPrototype: All of the Test Subjects in the second game, fulfilling the role of QuirkyMinibossSquad. They include a giant cyborg ape who can [[RocketPunch shoot his arms at you]] (and regrow them!), a hypnotist dressed as a traditional Japanese... something... who likes to walk on the ceiling and wielding a grenade launcher, and a man holding a giant fuel container which he drinks out of to breathe fire.
'Acid 2'' is actually a clone from the original ''Acid'', who supposedly died between the events of both games.]]
* RidingTheBomb: In the ending for ''Ac!d [[superscript:2]]'', [[spoiler: Snake ends up using the destroyed Metal Gear's missile launching ability to escape by cramming himself into a dummy warhead. It broke every single bone in his body - but he healed, thanks to his status as a super soldier.]]
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Snake uses a railgun to launch himself to safety from an exploding Metal Gear at the end of ''AC!D2''...and as a result breaks damn near every bone in his body. Of course there's consequences for as extreme an action as that.
* ThemeNaming: The names of the Test Subjects and the Metal Gear itself in ''[=MGA2=]'' all come from the Kabbalah.
* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Guys and that Girl]]: The pilots and Consuela, who accompanied Snake to the US before getting caught. They're reunited at the end, but are absent for most of the game (besides some "encouragement" by Dalton and Snake.)
* ThreeDimensionalEpisode: The second game can be played in 3D, and comes with a "Solid Eye" viewer (a box with separate eyeholes for each half of the screen which shares its name with Old Snake's optical eyepatch from ''[=MGS4=]''). Also used for viewing pictures taken from ''[=MGS3=]'' and ''Subsistence'' in 3D... usually, those of EVA.
