Is it still worth playing?
SNK's 2000 run and gun game for the Neo Geo, the third Metal Slug, with music by Noise Factory. You shoot constantly at a stream of enemies to reach the end of each level and a boss. On the way you find weapon upgrades and Metal Slug tanks, the SV-001, which add to your offense and greatly to your defense. Besides shooting you can use a knife and kicks, and touching enemies does not kill you, so many enemy troops have melee attacks. Scenery is destructible and sometimes reveals items, and freed prisoners of war earn rewards. In most missions the path forks and you choose one of the branches, each with its own obstacles and its own length and difficulty. A run still has more than one shape, because a level that forks lets you pick a harder or an easier route.
