[The Main Event]

Since the game is shipping today, I'm really interested to pick this one up this week to play on my DS. I can hardly find any reviews on the game though, so is anyone tried it out yet? How does it compare to the other Metal Slugs?

Judging from the trailer, it looks faithful to the series.

We've liked what we've played of the finished version so far. You should see reviews hitting today or tomorrow.

DFS.

 

[Matlock]

Buy it.

 

[DCharlie]

yup - i have the JPN version, colour me VERY surprised!

After hearing the horror stories from E3, i was expecting it to be rubbish, but it's really good.

I've heard some retards complaining that it doesn't have NG level animation (DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH!) but the game plays pretty damned well.

 

[drohne]

ah, nice. it's been a while since i've bought a gba game. this will do. i'm happy and surprised that it's shaped up from that e3 disaster. i suppose massive delays pay off sometimes.

 

[Vandalier]

Not bad, a little cut in the animations

 

[belgurdo]

I like what I'm hearing. I can't wait to dow-er, buy it soon

Two words: health bar. That totally takes away form the typical Metal Slug experience. Also, the game has respawning enemies. Ugh.

Thank God. Playing the same shit over and over gets old. All series need to change once in a while

In other words, the game will remind players of the two excellent Metal Slug Pocket games for the Neo-Geo Pocket.

Seems like a fun game from what I played, but I'm done buying GBA games at full price with the exception of Zelda Minish Cap when that is released.
