Sell your DS's, its all over!!! This game is great! I have waited literally YEARS for it and I am very happy the wait has ended happily! The graphics are very good and it follows its Arcade brothers very well(graphicly)! The game is set up like the previous "pocket" Slug's, you have health as in the other games, and you can continue at various midpoints throughout the levels! You are on an island with various missions, you can save after each mission is completed. There is a new "Card" system which I am not so sure how it works yet... It seems more balanced than the two previous titles the weapons don't do half as much damage(shotguns dont take out tanks in one hit) which makes it a bit harder, and there are a lot more enemies! Also you seem to get unlimited continues in "Normal" mode. I like that because; although it is hard it isn't frustrating like Metal Slug 3 on the Xbox!
I would say this is by far my favorite GBA game to date, the graphics are bright and colorful, and the animations are as good as they could be on the GBA! You get a good number of enemies on the screen sometimes and there is little slowdown if any. If you are looking for a classic MS game, this is not it, this is another MS game in the tradition of the "Pocket" series.
Oh, I have been playing this on my DS and I can say that I agree with previous comments about the button layout on the DS, it seems a little too small, or light. The buttons on the DS are a lot more light (plastic wise) than the previous GBA's.
