The game’s seven levels may not boast the artistry and meticulousness of its forebears’, but they boast action that at least equals them. [Oct 2008, p.102]

The game's lack of a two-player mode will be a profound disappointment for those gamers whose greatest Metal Slug flashbacks are fuelled by the showmanship and camaraderie of co-op play. [Oct 2008, p.123]

This title does all the right things in terms of challenge, weapons, character options, and level designs. The problem is that it rarely goes beyond what’s been previously established; aside from a few insanely awesome boss fights and a handful of fancy new throwaway underlings to ravage, nearly all of your foes have been plucked from the older titles.

2D platform shoot 'em up from the old school that's pretty much run & gun royalty. The PSP version has better graphics thanks to its larger screen, but otherwise this is perfectly suited to the DS. Some may be put off by its sadistic difficulty level but it's one of the best games of its type on the system.

This game rules, it really does I remember playing it on my cousin’s ds And a while ago i was fiddling around with this ds emulator and I thought, ‘huh that game was fun, imma try it again’ I was not dissatisfied The shooting is amazing. The graphics gorgeous to this day And the level design is great The story is whatever

--A Portatil Heavy Machine Gun-- Metal Slug 7 represents a frenetic, dynamic and funny game in the Metal Slug Series. The game is short, but it is usual in the series, it can be played a lot of times, considering that we have six different characters with different characteristics that offer different playable experiences. The problem with this game is that it does not have a multiplayer gameplay, and it does not have too much content more than the seven main missions. On the other hand, the game represents a poor artistic style in the scenarios design that do not offer a charismatic and powerful visual identity. The game is good, funny, and so classic even because the three difficulties offer credits that once they are over, the match finishes. --7/10--

Metal Slug games tend to disappear fast and never return, so snag this one fast and don’t be sluggish. If you see a sale, bite and don’t hesitate.

Metal Slug 7 is a solid, fun shooter, but it lacks the ingenuity of the better games in the series. [Holiday 2008, p.80]

Metal Slug 7 is a possible game for Nintendo DS but it’s very far from the “true sequel” the fans have waited for so long especially since the third version is considered the vertex and pinnacle of all “shooters”.

Metal Slug 7 comes to Nintendo DS with the whole magic of the classical franchise. Totally faithful to the original game, it doesn´t need any innovations, but in these times the experience is a little limited for the home consoles. Unfortunately it doesn't have a multiplayer mode. A perfect game for the followers of the series.

A highly playable version of Metal Slug on the DS, and regardless of the steps back to suit the hardware, the end result is not all that bad. You can’t help but wish for more, although for any game to be truly special on its eight iteration is a very big ask.

For all of my bitching, I don’t hate Metal Slug 7. It’s fun enough, functional, and perfect for short bus rides, but I enjoyed playing it more the last six times it was released. Metal Slug 7 proves that shaking down a series for a seventh installment only works if it stars Ron Perlman.
