NCS Product Synopsis
Original Update: December 23, 2009
«©NCSX» SNK's
Metal Slug 7 was released in the summer of 2008 for the Nintendo DS and one year
later, SNK re-releases it on the Playstation Portable with a few new features
for added value. Six army grunts are featured in the game including Slug
stalwarts such as Marco and Eri. Ralf Jones and Clarke Still from the King of
Fighters are also in the cast. Similar to the previous Metal Slug releases, the
soldiers run from left to right across seven horizontally scrolling battlefield
stages and shoot, jump, and lob bombs at enemy forces. When opposition grunts
are shot, they'll burst with ruddy splashes of blood for some brutal realism.
The end of each level is blocked by a boss which is generally challenging and
formidable.
New
features in the PSP release include a large collection of mini-games and ad-hoc
cooperative play so gamers can link up and blast away like a two-person army
corps. Upon starting up the game, the options are:
» Main Mission - The meat and potatoes of MSXX [Single or Network Mode]
» Ranking - See where you stand on the scoring leaderboard
» Combat School - Learn the ways and means of Metal Slug XX
» POW List - Hapless prisoners of war may be viewed herein
» Option - Adjust game parameters
Some early preorders will ship with a bonus pair of blue and white striped Metal
Slug boxers that were given away by SNK in 50% ratio.
Update:
The boxers are all gone!
