    Default Should I buy Metal Slug 3?

    Alright I was at gamestop today, using my giftcards, and I start playing a metal slug 3 demo. The game was very fun, but it is worth it?

    Slug 3 rocks. There's no reason NOT to get it.

    I paid $400CDN for my AES version, and it was worth EVERY PENNY.

    Wahtever price it is on the Xbox, is worth it.

    Great game, frantic fun, pretty hard towards the end, and tons of multiple paths through each level. Grab it.

    Metal Slug 3 is one of the BEST games of all time.

    There is no reason not to get it at $39.99

    i am a big fan of the Metal Slug Series and would probably buy the game on whatever system for whatever price. I do understand why some people wouldnt like it though. If you enjoy games like Contra, Gunstar Heroes, or possibly even CT Special Forces (GBA you can get new for 14.99) you should check it out

    Unless you don't own an xbox, there's no reason to not buy metal slug 3. It will definitely be one of the first games I get when I eventually get my xbox.

    I don't think so, it was prolly for store use only.

    But I am definately buying Slug 3. But is it considered a beat-em-up? Sorry I don't know mcuh about Metal Slug.

    I think Metal Slug is "officially" a shooter.

    I would say definitely pick it up if that's what you're into.

    That's a real relief. I dislike beat-em-ups because they are kinda tedious and boring.

    Not to sound like a smartass, but if you have to ask if you should get MS3, the answer is probably no. In all seriousness, this is probably the best Contra style run 'n' gun ever, and I don't think it'll ever be topped.

    Get Metal Slug 3 any way you can. 40 bucks is really nothing anyway. At least in the Neo Geo universe. Get it!

    OXM has the MS3 demo. I don't think it hit the stands yet but I just got it as I'm a subscriber. The game's pretty cool.

    My point is, if you don't already know, it's probably not the game for you.

    Wow, I'd hate to criticize a moderator here, but Captain Wrong, your posts came across as very elitist and not very friendly to a new member. Obviously he's never heard of Metal Slug before, but that's no reason to tell him he won't appreciate it.

    As for Metal Slug 3, I haven't played that particular chapter in the series, but the Slugs I have played are fantastic shooters; if you like it, buy it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

    Metal Slug = Fun Fun Fun.

    Finally Xbox and PS2 owners are given some Metal Slug action (long overdue).

    Cant wait for the GBA Metal Slug.

    That's cool, like I said I'm hesitant to criticize anyone (especialy a mod), it's just that it seems that your comments came across as a little harsh. Don't want to start scaring away new members, you know? And if Metal Slug 3 is as good as everyone says it is, it would suck for them to miss out on it.
