This game is a bit disapointing. Its kinda like the old Neo Geo Color Metal Slug games.
When you play the game you expect an arcade game, but instead you get a handheld game :/ I guess thats expected though lol
The 64Mbit size is sad too, if they just had 128Mbits, then theyd have enough room to add the full animation everywere. But the enemys have to be choppy animated when they die :/
Plus theres no constant surprises from enemys that you could only get in the arcades.
This game feels more like SNKs version of Contra. Not the arcadish contras, more like that one where you can move back and stuff.
Plus theres no bood!
Not even white gushes of sweat to replace the red color of the red gushes of blood.
The game just isnt so exciting as a metal slug game should seem.
Though for a handheld game with shooting, its pretty good. But it seems so basic and all still :/
I think SNK just had alot of limits with this game. Heck they had to rework the darn thing several times and have been working on it for a year or two now o-o.
No multiplayer is a big bummer too.
And card collecting is no subsitute :/
When you first play this game, I suggest putting it on hard mode, it'll atleast give you a better rush than normal mode.
Oh and btw, Metal Slug 1, 2, X, 3, 4, and 5 all rule o-o.
Try playing all the games in sucsession without dieing, (and on MVS mode) then tell me if the games suck
And yes, I have played all 5 *cough*, 4, *cough* games without dieing once :3.......
Ok ok, up to 4 >.>, I cant run 5 well enough yet :/,.....
......
ok ok, so I died once at the last boss so what?......
ok ok, I died twice and missed a few prisoners, but I got the top score atleast :3
......
ok ok, I died atleast 2 or 3 times per game, you gonna make a big deal out of it?....
anyway........
this game isnt bad, and its better than the Neo Geo color games atleast. Though they both play kinda slowly :/
Well, its back to playing this game I go.
I shall soon beat this Contra Slug Advance... er, Bionic Commando Slug Advance.... no wait, Handheld mini Metal Slug Advance: the card collecting war! lol
