Along with these new attacks, the game also utilizes the DS' dual screen capabilities with the main game being played on the top screen and a scrollable map on the bottom screen that show's locations of freed POW's and items picked up as well. Also, four characters (Marco, Tarma, Ralf & Clark) have a special attack that can be used by pressing "Up" on the D-Pad and hitting the "L" button and the "Y" button. There are some new melee attacks as well when using the D-Pad and pressing the "Y" button to unleash the attack, each attack differ depending upon the character selected. The "A" button is used for throwing grenades and the basic melee attack as the player comes in close quarters with an enemy with the "R" button to change their primary weapons. Like many others in the series, the gameplay is basically the same, having the player using the D-pad to move their character around on the screen and using the "Y" button to fire their primary weapon. The player chooses from six different heroes (Marco, Eri, Tarma, Fio, Ralf and Clark) as the embark on a mission to stop the diabolical (and persistent) General Morden as he unleashes hordes of henchman and machinery to stop the player, as well as make allies with a new and more dangerous army in the process.

Two new difficulty levels have been added: Easy and Hard. When the meter maxes out, enemies drop coins. When enemies are killed at a fast rate, more points are received, and this is reflected by a meter at the bottom of the screen. An additional melee attack has been added, and the sliding technique from the previous game has been removed. Next to new drivable vehicles, there is also a new weapon, the Zantetsu Sword, a blade that neutralizes enemy firepower. The characters can now carry two power-ups at the same time, and choose to discard one, or give it to another player in the Co-op mode. The characters also vary by running speed, the defense abilities when driving vehicles, and the amount of ammo received. The four original heroes, Marco, Tarma, Fio and Eri, are joined by Ralf and Clark, of King of Fighters and Ikari Warriors fame, each with different attributes and a special ability. In this version however, all sides team up to combat a threat together. ![]() The storyline is reminiscent of Metal Slug 2, X, and 3, as it focuses on the Rebel-Martian alliance where the team, with the help of the Rebels, had to fight the Martians. 5 /5The seventh main game in the series stays close to the fast-paced 2D side-scrolling shooting gameplay of the original, but with a few enhancements. ![]()
