    Metal Slug 3 is a lot of fun, but this should be a $5 download. Especially when original, awesome-looking shooters such as Omega Five are storming Xbox Marketplace.

    Platform shooters don't get much better, but the plop filter and slowdown problems let it down. [Mar 2008, p.94]

    "Metal Slug 3" is arguably the best game in the series. It adds new types of enemies, bigger stages, more weapons and vehicles. I only wish"Metal Slug 3" is arguably the best game in the series. It adds new types of enemies, bigger stages, more weapons and vehicles. I only wish this port didn't include a "smooth" filter. The game isn't "Arcade Perfect" nor does it include any new extra content. Overall, i would rate this version with a 7.5 out of 10. Full Review »
