The asking price is a bit steep, all things considered, but the addition of cross-play makes this title a little easier to swallow for those who like that sort of accessibility. It proves that even older games can have a chance to shine in the modern age even with few updates. It’s a faithful port that fans new and old alike should have no problem getting in to.ĭespite its status as a port, Metal Slug 3 is still really fun. Sprites and artwork remain unchanged, with widescreen accessibility factored in by the addition of a fancy background on either side of the screen. The rest of the game though is fairly close to the original Metal Slug 3 that came out all those years ago. They’re not the easiest to get but they do offer a bit of replay value for those looking for a further challenge. PlayStation fans can also unlock a handful of trophies here, although most of them revolve around clearing through stages without deaths and on certain difficulty levels. It’s a Faithful Port With a Couple of Extras Online mode isn’t perfect by any means though - there is a bit of latency, and once things get crazy on screen it’s especially noticeable in some of the bigger fights. Luckily the PlayStation version boasts both local and network co-op mode, which allows players to play alongside friends for a little extra help. That’s not a bad thing, mind, but it’s definitely heightened should you choose to play the game by yourself. Your objective is to take your character across enemy-filled landscapes peppered with threats as your tasked to save prisoners, you yourself in control of an impressive array of weapons from pistols to machine guns.įor all its simplicity, however, Metal Slug 3 is really tough. Metal Slug 3 starts out simple enough - you’re thrown right into a character select screen where you can play as a variety of different people, each with their own specialties and weapon types. The price is honestly a bit steep for what you get, but this “new” release does come loaded with a few extras, including online play. Now, over a decade later, the company has decided to give PlayStation fans a chance to play across all three current Sony platforms at the cross-buy price of $15.
METAL SLUG PS3 PLUS
The game original saw its release on the Neo Geo arcade platform in 2000, with ports to other platforms in the following year. I play Neo Geo ROMs for a long time some of my played games are: Samurai Shodown IV, The King of Fighters 2002, Metal Slug 4 Plus and many more. I’ll admit I’m not the best at classic side-scrolling action games, but despite the challenge Metal Slug 3 is still fun. Lucky for us though, the price of entry is only paid once - that is, you won’t be pumping money into the former arcade game beyond the initial purchase, which is a good thing because dying is a common occurrence.
