    This is a good retro game but they are charging way more than it's value. You can can get all of the games on one UMD for the PSP that has perfect arcade quality for not much more than what they are charging for Metal Slug 3.

    "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.

    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.
  2. If you’ve never heard of this series, but enjoy classic stuff like Contra and its ilk, MS3 is made for you.
  3. Bow to the artists that worked on Metal Slug 3: This is gaming art at some of its finest. The gameplay is up there among the better coin-op action games of all time, too, and it translates well to the Xbox 360 controller to boot.
