Game Overview

The Metal Slug series that has been wildly popular in game arcades is now available in its original version for Game Boy Advance. Peerless pixel action makes the most of the GBA's graphic capabilities for a truly stunning visual experience.

The Bottom Line

Two new heroes board the Metal Slug all-assault vehicle in the long-awaited Game Boy Advance release of SNK's classic side-scrolling shooter. Taking control of either Walter or Tyra, you'll work your way through multiple missions set on an island in the south seas (we presume they mean south of Japan). As you play, you'll pick up recovery items and cards, which can be used to power up your characters, adding a new element of strategy to the series.

Metal Slug's first foray onto the GBA is a resounding success. Even though Metal Slug Advance is a brand-new game, it has all the sights, sounds, and charm of the NeoGeo games it's based on.
