Review Metal Slug 4 (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
Fourth time a charm?
If there's one thing that can be said with any degree of certainty, it's that SNK's Metal Slug series always remained fairly consistent over the course of their releases. The gameplay remained pretty much the same, with little more than a few tweaks here and there for good measure. Metal Slug 4 was developed by Korean firm Mega...

About The Game
Metal Slug 4 is the fifth installment in the Metal Slug series.
Choose from four different mercenaries and battle against the terrorist group "Amadeus". Skillfully jump and shoot your way through enemies while picking up items to replenish your weapons. Like in the previous games, you can ride vehicles and fight rigorously against enemies. Furthermore, Metal Slug 4 introduces the all-new Metallish System, an interesting bonus scoring system that puts a new spin on things. Additionally, there are new items and characters, creating a fresh new take on the Metal Slug universe.

I'm always on the fence about Metal Slug 4. There is nothing really wrong with it, but it's a very obvious cut and paste job by Mega (which Playmore had make this one after buying the right from SNK). There is very little in this game that you literally have not seen before if you have played 1-3 and X. Its a fun game though, it's more Metal Slug and that's always good. I would recommend playing all of the previous installments first though, as this feels like a step sideways for the series, and compared to the brilliant Metal Slug X, maybe a bit lacking.
