	GamingWorld X - Metal Slug 3 Review
		Metal Slug 3 for the Xbox is based on a game that’s been in the arcades for four years.
		You may have heard that Metal Slug 3 is hard, and due to the continue system you may have heard that it’s even more difficult than its predecessors.
		Sure, Metal Slug could have done so much more: Xbox Live co-op, more detailed stat boards, more unlockables, etc. But at the end of the day, the game shines and reaffirms the status of Metal Slug as the king of the side-scrolling shoot ‘em ups.

	Game Over Online Magazine - Metal Slug 3
		Metal Slug is evolved from the side scrolling shooter where one or two heroes squared off against a horde of opponents launching a barrage of projectiles, energy weapons or explosives at them.
		Metal Slug 3 is easily one of the most faithful ports of a title from an arcade machine.
		Metal Slug 3 is a faithful representation of that old school gaming experience, but the extremely high difficulty level, continue flaw and lack of additional features or levels past the original arcade game hinder this from restoring faith in the side scrolling genre.

	AOL Games: Metal Slug 4 & 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The main differences between Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5, incidentally, are that the earlier game is longer and arguably more difficult, while its sequel features more-impressive weapons, a little more jumping between platforms, and the ability to slide along the ground from a crouched position.
		In fact, you could argue that the versions of Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5 we've been playing are actually better than the originals, simply because we've yet to experience any of the noticeable slowdown that fans of the series might remember from earlier incarnations.
		Another feature of the Metal Slug games that fans might be aware of is the "Vulcan fix" option, which lets you lock a number of weapons (including most of those on vehicles) at a certain firing trajectory while you continue to move your character.

	Metal Slug Walkthrough/FAQ - IGN FAQs
		I've always been a huge fan of the Metal Slug series and I have also written one for Metal Slug X (which is crap ; don't read it unless you volunteer to suffer from severe brain damage) for the PlayStation.
		Now that you have the slug, shoot joyfully at anybody who's stupid enough to be off-screen but still, better watch out for their attacks.
		Metal Slug requires some thinking and shooting like a maniac is not the best way to play this game.

		Metal Slug 4 Storyline: In the year 20XX, a cyber-terrorist group has struck out at the world by unleashing a computer virus through the internet with a sole purpose of hijacking the militaries of the world’s nations.
		While Metal Slug 4 is definitely the most difficult of the two games, it's also the most guilty of using the most rehashed content, with a lot of it going all the way back to the original game from nine years ago.
		Metal Slug 5 takes the series in a new direction, pitting you against a new group of enemies in five new environments as well as the addition of a new sliding move for the characters.

	Metal Slug Advance - GameBoy Advance (GBA) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		The Meal Slug series actually returned last year with a vengeance to the Xbox and PS2 in Metal Slug 3 (a combo Metal Slug 4 and 5 will be coming next month).
		Using the slugs gives you the chance to turn the metal table on your enemies by jacking the slugs (planes, tanks, and Mech-style robotic-looking giant man-o-wars) and using them to your advantage in battle.
		Face it, games including Metal Slug were a lot tougher and more challenging to defeat back in the day, and MSA doesn’t wuss out by lowering the difficulty level for today’s gamer (although there are two difficulty settings to choose, even the “normal” setting is a hellacious challenge).

	Metal Slug 3 On GameVortex.com
		Regardless, since Metal Slug 3 is a port of an arcade game, it follows the same mantra as other arcade games, 'Give the player a good game for their quarter, but keep that game as short as possible.' Realistically, anyone could breeze through Metal Slug 3 in the arcades with a pocket full of quarters.
		The Metal Slug series has always been a favorite of mine and I was ecstatic that it's finally out on home consoles.
		What's better, Metal Slug 3 is arguably one of the best in the series so it is a great place to start if you love 2D shooters but haven't been down to your local arcade lately.

		Outside the safety of a slug, you can jump and duck as in past Metal Slugs, and in MS5, you're able to perform a forward slide, which is good for quickly moving through low passages.
		Metal Slug 4 is a more blatant perpetrator of this sort of recycling.
		Metal Slug 5, on the other hand, benefits from an entirely new set of enemies, some fantastically strange new slugs for you to pilot, and some inventive new levels.

	le geek [metal slug 5]
		Metal Slug 5 is the sixth and final Slug game on Neo-Geo, so let's see how it compares to its predecessors.
		While story has never been a big part of the Metal Slug games, by the end you often got a good idea of who you were fighting and why.
		Overall Metal Slug 5 is fun, but is lacking some of the variety, depth and attention to detail of the best Metal Slugs.

	Metal Slug 4 Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		SNK Playmore's long running Metal Slug series is their other hot property besides their plethora of fighting games.
		The Metal Slug series has always relied on clever level design, two player support and its original sense of humor to distinguish itself from other games.
		Metal Slug 4 is two years old and the level of animation in the game and the lack pixilated sprites show this.

	Globetechnology: Metal Slug Advance
		Metal Slug first appeared on Neo Geo arcade machines and consoles in the mid-1990s and quickly gained a reputation for its frenetic gameplay.
		Various incarnations of the series have since been ported to other systems, but Metal Slug Advance is the first for a handheld console since the ill-fated Neo Geo Pocket.
		Metal Slug Advance is firmly in the mould of its predecessors, so fans won't be disappointed - although they might find it a tad easier than what they're used to.

	IGN: Metal Slug 4 & 5 Preview
		Metal Slug stands alone as king of the 2D action realm that was once owned by Contra, and SNK is delivering fans of the series more than it can ever hope to handle with ports of the two arcade shooters, Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5, in the same combo pack.
		Slug 5 seemed a little sillier in the rounds that we played, with the series' trademark humor brought out as you brave it down a running river on a canoe (with the bearded hostage working the stern paddle) and natives with bullet-proof iron masks charging from temples to kill you.
		Metal Slug 4 has more than its share of comedy, but we got ourselves laughing hardest when we hit a giant boss which rained down bombs and hurled fireballs at us, while snipers plugged us full of holes from the turrets.

	Metal Slug 4 & 5 Bundle Pack Review (Xbox)
		While last year’s Metal Slug 3 release is regarded as the peak of the Metal Slug summit for many, that doesn’t mean the fourth and fifth entries into the series aren’t worth a look.
		These two Metal Slug titles were originally developed during a transition time in the SNK Playmore lifespan, so none of the original development team worked on them.
		The Metal Slug series takes the phrase, “Say hello to my little friend.” to all new levels, as the weaponry that our heroes wield stretches the gambit from a standard issue machine gun, to a high-end rocket launcher.

	Gamerdad - Metal Slug 4 and 5
		Metal Slug 5 introduces a new slide move, but it doesn't prove revolutionary.
		Metal Slug 4 is a bit weak, with a greater degree of recycled graphics and less imaginative boss encounters, especially in regards to the finale.
		The Metal Slug series reminds me of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming—animation which may appear kid friendly at first glance, but watch for a little while and you'll find the shows are clearly aimed at an older demographic.

	IGN: Metal Slug X Preview
		In the original Metal Slug, the ultimate weapon was the eponymous Super Vehicle-001 mini-tank, with its short-range cannon and long-range variable machinegun.
		In fact, the original Metal Slug on the Neo Geo is considered to be in the same class as other legendary games in the genre like Contra III: The Alien Wars for the Super Nintendo and Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis.
		Just like all of the great ones in the genre, Metal Slug X is packed with a wide selection of weapons and power-ups, which all must be used to the fullest to beat the game's massive boss characters and swarms upon swarms of enemies.

	Metal Slug: 2nd Mission - review by Jeurja
		But, in the end, Metal Slug is without a doubt one of the best 2D action series ever created.
		It surpassed my expectations of what a handheld version of Metal Slug would be like and made me realize that the NGPC was no little bitch in terms of power.
		With Metal Slug 2nd Mission, the quality is just as high, and the envelope's been pushed a bit more.

	Metal Slug Advance Hands-On - Game Boy Advance News at GameSpot
		Like the other games in the series, Metal Slug Advance is a side-scrolling 2D shooter that puts you in the shoes of a solider up against nearly hopeless odds.
		Metal Slug Advance's gameplay mostly sticks to the formula set forth by the arcade games that started the series.
		Hopping in the fast-moving tank, for which the series is named, armors your character from damage, as your solider's health is replaced by your vehicle's health when you're riding.

	IGN: Metal Slug 3 Review
		Not only is it not the latest Slug (4 and 5 are out in the arcades), it offers only marginal improvements over the arcade version with some extra modes, but little else.
		That's pretty much it outside of the Metal Slug attack, which is performed from a vehicle when you want to send it into a suicide ram with an enemy.
		Metal Slug 3 is f'ing difficult, just as tough as in the arcades, so it helps that you can play co-op with a buddy, even if it's on the same machine.

		Metal Slug 3 had a limited number of continues and when u did continue it would start over from the beginning of the level.
		My sister kind of likes to play metal slug with me, the bad thing is that she always wants to get it, if I dont let her get it she gets mad and goes to do something else.
		I am going to play metal slug 4 first because I like the song from the first mission and the fact that the first power-up is the dual machine gun.

		Forget the Contra series, Metal Slug is 2D shooting through and through, and it always does it right.
		In fact, the only bumps in the MS series have been 4 and 5, but even then, they brought something new to the table and were worth a play.
		The main one is the Metal Slug- a small tank with a machine gun in addition to firing huge shells.

	GamerFeed : Reviews : Sony : Metal Slug 4 & 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		As a fan of old-school shooters, I never get tired of a game such as SNK's Metal Slug, and this repackaging of two of the newer games in the series is sure to get some attention from fans, as well as those looking for some quick run-and-gun action.
		Metal Slug 4 & 5 include different vehicles and power-ups, and at some points, you'll find yourself on the other spectrum of life, wandering around as a zombie and wiping out enemy soldiers with some powerful puking skills.
		I still recommend Metal Slug 4 & 5 because, although it's nothing incredibly new, its gameplay is spot on and it has this awesome retro feel.

	Game Over Online Magazine - Metal Slug 4 & 5
		Metal Slug is a sidescrolling arcade shooter of the Contra school, but it bears little resemblance to that game; instead, it's sprite-based gaming as animated by an obsessive-compulsive and his crew of sadists.
		The mediocre one is Metal Slug 4, which features a new character, Nadia, but removes a surprising amount of the variety that makes Metal Slug worth playing.
		It'd be a little more worthwhile if an arcade-perfect Metal Slug 3 had been included in the collection, but this is still a must-have for those of us who fondly remember our local arcade.

	Metal Slug 3 Review - Xbox Review - Australia's PAL Gaming Network
		Metal Slug 3 is easy to control, as you move left to right literally firing at everything on screen.
		Before the PAL release, Metal Slug 3 for the Xbox, incorporated a continue system which forced players to restart each level from the beginning (rather than the spot they died at) in an attempt to up the challenge.
		Metal Slug 3 for the Xbox as it stands is the best port of the game to date, despite its disappointing lack of extra content and presently is the best 2D side-scrolling shooting game that you will find for the console with the added bonus of a budget price.

		Metal Slug Advance does shy a little bit away from the series' formula in terms of the characters and the fact that you don't die with just one hit, but it still feels and sounds like Metal Slug, and it packs enough gun-toting action to keep your thumbs busy for days.
		The sound is typical Metal Slug, with a score that isn't annoying at all and manages to complement the action.
		Metal Slug Advance is still a top-notch entry in the series, and fans who have stuck with it for so long with still find plenty of action to soak in here.
