  1. For all of my bitching, I don’t hate Metal Slug 7. It’s fun enough, functional, and perfect for short bus rides, but I enjoyed playing it more the last six times it was released. Metal Slug 7 proves that shaking down a series for a seventh installment only works if it stars Ron Perlman.

The PSP version has better graphics thanks to its larger screen, but otherwise this is perfectly suited to the DS. Some may be put off by its sadistic difficulty level but it's one of the best games of its type on the system. Full Review »

    --A Portatil Heavy Machine Gun--

    Metal Slug 7 represents a frenetic, dynamic and funny game in the Metal Slug Series. The game is short, but it is usual in the series, it can be played a lot of times, considering that we have six different characters with different characteristics that offer different playable experiences. The problem with this game is that it does not have a multiplayer gameplay, and it does not have too much content more than the seven main missions. On the other hand, the game represents a poor artistic style in the scenarios design that do not offer a charismatic and powerful visual identity. The game is good, funny, and so classic even because the three difficulties offer credits that once they are over, the match finishes.
