It's a pretty decent 3D platformer. I jumped out of Tomb Raider: Legends for Xbox 360 and onto the PS2, and I had a lot more fun playing Metal Slug 3D albeit with lower quality graphics. The FMV is the best part tho, I know a lot of people aren't big fans of FMV but there's enough game content there as well. The FMV intro transitions the gamer into the game from identifying well known characters in 3D before putting you at the title screen which just reads "Metal Slug". Fortunately, unlike the majority of games with FMV which is generally intro and ending scenes, there are also FMV cut scenes between levels. The game seems very easy so far; much easier than the 2D platformers. All the voice acting is in English with Japanese subtitles. For those diehard traditional fans, a port of the Sammy Atomiswave Metal Slug 6 is still slated for a July 2006 release.
