actually
the game was pretty good. everyone else seems to resent this, but it actually stays true to the real metal slug gameplay. i got pretty far and when I died, it was because of my own carelessness. not because of the game.
it is your own fault if you don't have enough hand-eye coordination or reflexes to do well in this game. true, a continue mode would be a great improvement, but nonethless it was good.
but there were some glitches. soldiers stopped spawning at helicopter points after you kill a few. also, enemies will not duck to shoot you, so you can just crawl and slaughter them. also, tanks should kill on impact, otherwise i could just sit underneath them and shoot unmercilessly. soldiers should also jump if you are on a higher platform.
but really, dont hate the game because it was "too hard." it just means you're not good enough, sorry, but that's the blunt truth.

I dodged bullets without difficulty. and you shouldnt lower a game's rating because of a totally unrelated drawing. it was a way to promote a different website, not to represent the game. also, the drawing was decent...there are much worse out there. i think i saw one on deviant art that made everything so REAL that mario was an overweight plumber who resembled a pedophile. he was jumping on a shroom that literally exploded. you know, with blood and gore. luigi was an anorexic man with i think a wrench being chased by malformed versions of s koopa.
