What do you keep telling others not to do, OB1? Oh yeah, that's judge games without playing them.

Metal Gear Acid does have cards, and a story (I very highly doubt that it's a graphic adventure. That means Monkey Island or TLJ. What the game does have is a story, told through animated cutscenes.). But what it is primarially, as this preview makes clear, is a TACTICAL STRATEGY GAME. That is, a small-unit (in this case a unit of one) strategy game where you carefully plan every move, using some interface. Where you have indirect, not direct, control of your characters.
Yes, the fact that this game uses cards as a way of randomizing what actions you can make and when you can make them, and limiting total actions, is different from other titles in the genre. So it's not quite the typical tactical strategy game, or even the typical console-style tactical strategy game (think Fire Emblem (though that's also not your typical console tactical strategy game), Final Fantasy Tactics, Shining Force, Disagaea, etc), but it IS in that subgenre. No question.
