Metal Slug 4 - Hands on impressions from GameSpot

[Despair]

Well, Here we go, I wish those were my impressions, but I'm not that lucky. I still even yet to play Metal Slug 3

So Nash, where're YOUR impressions at?

As I've said over and over, it's nice to see another 2D, hand drawn side scroller, but other than that this thing is re-hash city. Besids, the Slug series has a rep to live up to and from the sounds of it, this thing dropped the ball. The new developers are lazy slobs who've just re-used old sprites and added not one damn new thing to the game. Hell, even all the wacky enemies are out- it's all just the soldiers now. *sigh*...RIP SNK...

Don't worry, Metal Slug 3 sucks ass. It's a cheap arcade quarter slurper. Tons of cheap kills, no skill... loses all of it's harcore "drive to master" arcade appeal. It's not hard in the good way, like Mars Matrix, it's hard in the cheap and stupid way, like GigaWing.

Well, I wanted MS3 so bad, I got the rom of it to finally try it. And guess what, the frikin rom doesnt want to work !!!!!

Just my luck

Hey, I liked MS3...but then again, I was playing it on a friend's computer (on a keyboard...how evil!) with as many free credits as I could ever want. So I guess I played a little recklessly. If I could actually find an arcade that carried it, I'd test your "no skill" claim...

I wouldn't go so far as to say that MS3 "sucks ass". And I have a few issues of Gamest that contradict what you have to say about Giga Wing, not to mention my own experience with the title.

As far as the article;

That's not to say that Metal Slug 4 has lost its trademark sense of humor. Like in previous games, you must still rescue hostages who, when freed, will present you with an oversized pair of underpants (a reference to the Adam Sandler film Happy Gilmore).

I already emailed him to remind that Metal Slug came out years before Happy Gilmore did, not that it'll matter. What a fucking retard.

Besides, that's an old joke- the POWs have done that since the first game. That guy's a dildo.

GigaWing and its sequel are neither cheap nor stupid.

I suggest you pay a visit to the Records board and read the GW2 score thread.
