Rating:  - Unbelievably hard, surprisingly short
The Metal Slug games are famous for their button-bashing action, slapstick humor and white-knuckle difficulty. Not surprising that they are so hard considering they were first made for the arcade and it's a ploy by SNK for you to spend more money playing it.
Now everything you loved about Metal Slug is on the Gameboy Advance, with a few new bonuses. One of them is the card system, which I cared not for, which you are awarded for rescuing certain prisoners or destroying certain bosses. ... Read More
Rating:  - Metal Slug for GBA?! COOL!!!
Metal Slug is by far the greatest run and gun game ever. Growing up my mom worked at a bowlling alley and my family was to poor to hier a baby sitter for me. So my mom would take me to work with her and leave me in the arcade at the bowlling alley. She would give me $5.00 in quarters to play the arcade games each time I came to work with her. While I was looking around the arcade I came across "Metal Slug 3". My eyes opened wide as I saw a preview of the soldier Marco running around killing off armies ... Read More
Rating: - Run 'n gun action? Here ya go.
Metal Slug- possibly one of the most addictive, and difficult, game series out there. Now that the games have been getting somewhat popularized on other systems, it was only a matter of time before handheld versions of it showed up. And no disrespect to the NeoGeo Pocket Color, but we needed it on a more mainstream system that was easily accessable. And we got one here on the GBA finally, and it's pretty cool. While I'm sick of people going on and on about the "sacrifices in animation", there isn't much ... Read More
Rating:  - something the GBA needed a long time ago...
This sort of shooter has long been among my favorite types of games, dating back specifically to since I first played Gunstar Heroes. The Metal Slugs have always been the biggest quarter-eaters to me at the arcade machines, and I've really fallen in love with the comical commando approach that these games have mixed in with the variety that all the levels have to offer. Metal Slug Advance does a good job of holding up these much-beloved parts of the series.
As with all the other Metal Slugs, ... Read More
Rating: - Metal Slug on the GBA
One of the most fun and challenging games to play in the arcade way back when was SNK's Metal Slug. A 2-D side scroller similar to the old Contra games, you run and gun your way past hordes of challenging tanks and enemies until you reach a level boss. The game mechanics are almost identical to the classic game, as are the graphics despite instances of slowdown and a few drops in frame rate. The biggest con of Metal Slug Advance is what players new to the game will automatically notice. The learning curve ... Read More
