Metal Gear Acid was good in its own way, but the gameplay in MGA2 was better. Well, that and the story, except for one thing *Spoiler time, if I may*...
Acid 2 was much more polished, and the interface was far better streamlined. HOWEVER, I think Acid 1's battle mechanics were better balanced. The guard HP to gun damage ratio was off. They were far too beefy.
As far as your spoiler, I don't care one way or the other. I think it was still pretty good.

I won't object with that statement about Acid 1. That was one reason why I liked it. Why I'm not the biggest fan of MGA 1 was because it didn't quite hold my attention as much as MGA2 did. Well, that and I beat MGA2 a lot more legitimately than MGA1, and I played MGA2 first.
It is. But that's the only cheat I used really, and I didn't even completely finish it anyway. But again, that's because it didn't hold my attention long enough, and not because of cheating.
Now MGA2, which I beat first, I went all the way. No cheats, no nothing. Just a straight-forward playthrough.
It's not so much a code of honor, it's just that I have no fun when I play with cheats, 'cuz the game is too easy. There is no drive for me to keep playing, no challenges to overcome, in-game crap to unlock, nothing.
