metal slug 3, holy shit

This game is fantastic, far superior than it's predecessors. How the hell did SNK pull this off on the NEO GEO? It's hard as hell too, I had to continue 30 times throughout the game, mind you I was using a keyboard.

One complaint I'd have was that it didn't quite flow like the first or even second game, I mean the enemies were all over the place. Why are the giant insects angry at me? Are they alien insects? The game also added vertical shooter parts wich I'm not fond of, however the underwater and flying stuff was great. When you're going through the jungle with that jetpack and hit the ground running, it makes the rest of the game look dull. Oh and the zombie junk was a nice twist on past mummy theme. The bloody puke is awesome, more games need to implement that. Maybe it can be worked into Mario Sunshine before release.

This game needs to be ported to PS2 or something. The PSone handled MSX very well despite what some fanboys may tell you, this game needs to be out there as well.

I hope its ported too. When I get a PS2 I'll get into MSX more, hopefully some news about MS3 will pop up around then.

Yes graphically this game is beautiful. The animations are lovely as usual but there's so much variety in the levels and enemies. I really didn't find the game as fun as either of the prequels(I didn't find part 2/X to be as fun as part 1 either...) but it's still worth playing through, if not just for the eye candy.

:lol:

A novel idea.

Funny how people think strategic enemy placement and weapon usage are simply not fun. Not that Metal slug 3 turned into gradius or r-type, but slug 3 requires a little more memorization than x,2, or 1.

Where you people expecting the same rehash run and gun gameplay of metal slug x?

I wish the damn game would work on my PC :( I tried everything, but it just doesnt recognize the stupid ROM......
