Regardless, I still enjoy playing the titles, and relished my time with pretty much all the predecessors leading up to this effort. However, I will say this love of the series did not instantly carry over to Metal Slug 7. In fact, immediately after the first time I ran out of continues (mission 2 on normal – see I told you I sucked!), I powered down my DS and pocketed it for quite some time, as the game seemed to lack that usual special feeling." 6/10
