![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're a Metal Slug fan, this new adventure is a by-the-numbers sequel in the series, but for $30, it's hard to recommend a buy. This is a game that belongs on the big screen, and you should be able to play it with a friend. It doesn't look bad, of course I just wish for an Xbox 360 or PS3 release with high-definition sprites so I can enjoy the art. What's more, the animation and detail is often lost on the small upper screen. I love Nintendo's portable, and I'm not going to argue that SNK Playmore should have shoehorned in a minigame or two where I have to blow into the microphone, but the mini-map on the bottom of the screen is basically useless. I'm also a little let down that the game, for the moment, is only available on the Nintendo DS. The fact that an arcade game, a 2D shooter, doesn't have a two-player mode is somewhat criminal. Metal Slug games are a blast when played with a friend, and the top graphics and shooting action are easier to enjoy when you're shooting the enemy soldiers in co-op. So why, with the latest Metal Slug title, do I feel so unsatisfied? Metal Slug 7 is like getting your favorite dish at your favorite restaurant: you're rarely surprised by the flavor, but you're also rarely left hungry. I was overjoyed to find a copy of Metal Slug 7 on my doorstep yesterday, and I spent last night dutifully chugging through the campaign. ![]()
