    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.

    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.

    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.
  2. If you've never heard of this series, but enjoy classic stuff like Contra and its ilk, MS3 is made for you.
  3. Bow to the artists that worked on Metal Slug 3: This is gaming art at some of its finest. The gameplay is up there among the better coin-op action games of all time, too, and it translates well to the Xbox 360 controller to boot.
