Video Game Reviews of Metal Slug Advance
Customer Review: Unbelievably hard, surprisingly short
Summary: 3 Stars
The Metal Slug games are famous for their button-bashing action, slapstick humor and white-knuckle difficulty. Not surprising that they are so hard considering they were first made for the arcade and it's a ploy by SNK for you to spend more money playing it.
Now everything you loved about Metal Slug is on the Gameboy Advance, with a few new bonuses. One of them is the card system, which I cared not for, which you are awarded for rescuing certain prisoners or destroying certain bosses. Personally, I didn't think this changed the game much at all. Second is that you can save your progress in Metal Slug Advance, which will comes as a huge relief to anyone who's just defeated a near-impossible boss and doesn't think they'll be able to do so again.
There are only five (very hard) levels in this game and you'll get through them in a week. Yes, at some points you'll want to hurl your GBA at the wall in frustration but stick at it and you'll learn certain patterns in which to get through the levels. And after you complete it you'll more than likely never play it again, no matter what cheap rubbish SNK have put in there to make you go through it again. There's just no enough variety for it to pay off.
