I obviously enjoyed Metal Slug 7 a great deal more than you did, and it's obvious that I also liked Metal Slug 5 more than you (and from what I can see, I liked it more than most others did). Still, I can see where you're coming from with this.

Thanks for the interesting comments. I'm gonna rant a bit, because playing this game got me more and more irritated as it went on... from "this came is actually pretty cool" when I first started, to "f*** this" by the end.

Regarding Metal Slug Anthology, I've heard that the PSP port is the worst and suffers from crippling bugs. Am I to assume that was that not your experience? In any event, we're agreed that MS7 could have been better. It's not an instant classic, just a really, really good Metal Slug and the best since 3. I'm not sure that we even disagree on that point, despite me liking it more than you.

I know we don't disagree; I was just ranting.

Most Metal Slug games use vehicles to add variety, whereas Contra adds variety in other ways. Metal Slug's vehicles also make it easier to shoot diagonally... so in that sense, riding a vehicle is the best way to accomplish what people can always do in Contra. So it's not that Contra gets a free pass; Contra is usually built in such a way that vehicles aren't needed.

I realize that was only one little snippet in your review, but wouldn't a better way to approach this lie in critiquing MS for not allowing you to shoot diagnally at all times?
