    A few extra credits at your discretion are no bad thing when you want to sample the delights that latter levels might bring, so in this case I'm happy to agree with SNK's decision to leave credit allocation to the prudence of the punter.

    Jump on Live for a two-player co-op romp and let the old-school arcade love flow freely like so many unspent quarters. [Mar 2008, p.91]

    If you’ve never heard of this series, but enjoy classic stuff like Contra and its ilk, MS3 is made for you.

    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.

    If you manage to find a friend who's willing to play, this can actually be an incredible experience. There are a ton of secret paths with new enemies in each one, so there actually is a bit of sense of replayability. All in all, it is a bit pricey, but after a full run through, it's hard to say you regret buying it.… Expand

    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.… Expand
