Saving hostages who show their gratitude, looking at the sheer shock on faces of enemy soldiers as they get snuck up on by stealth, charging all guns blazing with a tidy power up including the tasty double machine gun, feeding your face until it grows a little too big, and vehicles galore.... Enough to make you well up with pride. Plenty of nw vehicles to command and giant boss ships to let rip into. A distinct shift in this instalment, but gives the player more chances (at times) and plenty of firepower for encouragement. Wearing its 2D tats with pride, Metal Slug: we salute you.
