Metal Slug 3 is a third-person shooter video game for the Neo-Geo and arcade platform, which was developed and published by SNK. Later, the game was ported to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. This was last Metal Slug that SNK was worked on until the bankruptcy. The game mechanics are the same as previous Metal Slug games. Basically, players walk or run through a path with a gun and they have to go destroy enemies and/or obstacles in their way. Eventually, players had to win the boss battle to move on to next level. The new feature for Metal Slug 3 is the branching path system, where there were different paths for players to choose from. Each path had its own obstacles and varying length and difficulty. Eventually, all paths lead to the same boss battle.
Metal Slug 3 had two modes: single player and two player co-op. I usually played two player co-op with a friend or my brother. Players could choose from four different characters, two being male and two being female. Players start out with a handgun, which is semi-automatic pistol. This weapon is very weak but it does not run out of ammos. On the path, there are several different types of weapons players can pick up. All these weapons have ammos; thus, if players use all ammos for a weapon, then they no longer can use this weapon and have to use handgun until they pickup new weapon. Furthermore, there are ammunition items on the path, each ammunition is only works on right type of weapon. My favorite weapon was Laser, which fires a laser that can cut down groups of enemies in rows. Also, players were equipped with secondary weapons which are melee weapon and Grenade.
Furthermore, players can utilize different vehicles in Metal Slug 3. Although no new weapons were added to the game, it contained new vehicles. These include Slug driller, Slug mariner, Elephant slug, Ostrich slug, Iv Rebel armor, Slug copter, and Astro slug. Each vehicle was located in a level where it fit into the environment.
Although almost everyone could bit the levels in Metal Slug 3, the score a player receives at the end of each level differentiated good player. The player can earn more point by going through the level quicker, rescuing more hostages, and picking up items. Upon dying, the player loses point that he or she earned to that spot. In arcade, players have three lives to get through the path. If players use up all lives, they have to insert a coin in order to continue the game.
