the last Metal Slug game made by the original team before SNK ruled over the series, animations are even more impressive, gameplay continues to be fun with the addition of new vehicles and weapons, there is an substantial variety within the game ranging from shoot'n up levels and underwater levels not to mention alternate passages in each mission to increase replay-value.

the game still has the bullshit Metal Slug difficulty and overly long levels such as the final mission but overall this is my favorite Metal Slug so far.
