It might be an incredibly simple case of button-bashing and bullet-dodging on the surface, but Metal Slug 3 just keeps going - and continually evolves the play mechanics to keep even the most apathetic gamer teetering on the edge of their seat, exhausted by the action one second and energised by the change in incredible scenery the next. While it certainly does appeal to the quick-gaming-fix fraternity, it also highlights a void in the 360's catalogue that any dedicated follower of Microsoft doctrine should be excited to fill. From a cursory glance at the simplistic run 'n' gun game mechanics, there's no reason to think Metal Slug 3 would find appeal with any demographic other than the ex-arcade creeper or teenage ADD sufferer, but that's not the entire story. Vomin' up blood as a zombie to kill a bunch of baddies is just too much fun to describe.īut what's really fascinating here is the fact that a vaguely ageing title appears to have found its niche market on a modern console - this is Metal Slug 3's ideal home, and you'd be a fool not to make it welcome in yours.Ĩ00 Microsoft Points isn't a huge amount by any means (a mere drop in the ocean for those wise enough to have given Christmas a wide berth), though it does initially sound a tad weighty for a game that's so difficult to pigeonhole. This time it's reminded us that a Live Arcade game doesn't have to be a two-minute retro-revival it can be a lengthy, wonderfully gruelling adventure of non-stop violence and mature, yet cartoony circus of balletic destruction. Fortunately for SNK, the sheer weight of high-octane passion that permeates every jagged pixel of this NeoGeo classic ensured it stood proud amidst the sea of 3D games it was born into.Īnd this hasn't changed - Metal Slug 3 once again gets the dust blown off its noble cartoon graphics and emerges as an unforeseen champion of another gaming realm.
#BUY METAL SLUG 3 SERIES#
The fourth game in SNK's much-lauded series (following on from 1, 2 and X), it was a bold move from the start when the developers pushed ahead into the new millennium with a 2D hand-drawn platform shooter.
Metal Slug 3 is neither a short nor a complex game, but a massively detailed epic in the classic arcade style - a vision of what the coin-op's silver age could have looked like had it come along ten years later. But now Metal Slug 3's arrived we've found the sturdy middle ground 'twixt hard and fast gameplay and involved console devotion. True enough, that's a significant part of its charm and an aspect that broadens the 360's horizons in a way that would be difficult to achieve with commercial, off-the-shelf releases.
