4 was shit. Not THA shit, but shit. I've been quite vocal in my MS4 hate here.

Basically, the game is 100% recycled sprites. 2 & 3 introduced awesome brand new enemies, vehicles, and bosses. Everything new in MS4 was just re-used sprites from the previous games. Even the "new" Slug vehicles were just the enemy vehicles from 1-3, including a FORKLIFT. Lame.

They give you limited continues, and every time you use one you have to start at the very beginning of the stage.

Which is why I only ever play the rom.

Yeah, generally I don't like using continues, but the final stage of Metal Slug 3 is designed to use them. I wouldn't mind checkpoints of some sort, but in that level, going back to the beginning just absolutely ruins it. It's too long.

You have to start the level over? That's nuts.

I totally agree. I don't think it's even humanly possible to get to the end of level 5 on 3 lives.

I have both the MVS cart and the Xbox game. The MVS cart gets all the play.

I agree with all of the comments about the continues. I had a hell of a time beating Slug 3 on the Box, and I'm actually really good at Metal Slug 3 after playing it over the years, but I also see the point about how it makes you truly master the game.

I seriously think it took me longer to finish this than anything I've played lately. Level 3 and Level 5 sucked. Ask G0zen, he witnessed level 3 owning my monkey ass.

Limited continues I can live with, but there needs to be NO FUCKING RESTARTS. Final answer. I'm waiting to see what is said here once the US version hits before I make a purchase. If this problem rears its head one more time, I'm off to get the Japanese version of 5.

Its not THAT hard to finish SLug 3 on the xbox, since you can have more than the three lives - just join in on controller 2 once all of player one's lives run out. Its like having an extra continue right there. But yea i do agree they need to fix this with 4 and 5 or at least give you an option after you finish the game once.

Im about to dl the ms3 rom for xbox even though i bought the retail game cause i dont feel like playing it super hardcore everytime. Not to mention that the system kills any kind of fun in a 2 player co op game if you have a partner who isnt a metal slug super nerd.
