Metal Slug 3

"Metal Slug 3 doesn’t have a huge lifespan. It doesn’t have fancy 3D graphics. What it does have is a guy shouting "Rocckkket Lauunchhher!" in a Texan accent while you're freeing a semi-naked evil general from the clutches of ETs who look like walking squids."

"Simple yet harmless fun, and demanding a lot of thought and planning by the gamer – as well as fast reflexes - it is one of the late SNK’s finest hours. More fun than a barrel of Pampers-wearing, Uzi-toting monkeys."

"Metal Slug 3 is gaming at its purest. SNK NeoGeo would want you to believe that Metal Slug 3 has some kind of story behind it but really there isn’t anything holding these missions together. The game’s five missions are all different with their own unique setting and overall feel to it. You’ll have a too much of a blast shooting things to mind that there is no reason for you to do so."

"The tale of Metal Slug 3 starts with two jaded games hacks, our protagonists, who are fed up with banal ‘immersive’ 3D environments that always promise so damn much, what with their Unique (ubiquitous) Selling Points, the ‘dynamic lighting’ and the ‘bullet time’ and all that PR jive."
