This time you can turn into a zombie and even sport some really cool scuba diving gear for an underwater section. I really liked the transformations in the second game and that has been brought back here. Metal Slug 3 does add a few fun things to the game. I knew I was going to go back and experience them all. I know the first time I ever played the PlayStation 2 version of Metal Slug 3 and heard that there were multiple paths on the levels. This is great stuff as for me it really does improve the replayability of the game. You example the very first mission actually has three different routes that you can take! The big improvement here is that the levels now have branching paths that you can take. It does what the previous games did and it does it just as well if not better.

The core gameplay is unchanged and I am not going to criticize the game for that at all.

Well, that turns out to not exactly be the case as the story of Metal Slug 3 involves aliens and an alien mothership! It is great stuff and thanks to the amazing graphics, it is brought to life very well. It is set many years after the events of Metal Slug 2, but once again you feel that the no-good General Morden is up to his old tricks. I swear for an arcade shooter, the Metal Slug series has a far more interesting story than it has any right to! I really like the direction that the story went with this third game. I am going out a limb here and saying that Metal Slug 3 is my favorite in the entire series! Which is really hard to say as this is a series where I actually like pretty much every game that is in it! For me, Metal Slug 3 just nails the formula and it was a fitting end to the “real” SNK before they became what we pretty much have today.
