Anyone play any version of this? I just received the GC one from the States, and it's absolutely fantastic! If the makers don't admit to at least being "inspired" by Metal Slug 3, I'll call them dirty liars to their faces, but it all comes off as a beautifully wrought homage rather than a rip-off. And the gameplay is tuned to perfection: hard, but very fair. I'm foregoing the level select option thus far, and playing it arcade style (from the start until I run out of continues), but even so i'm getting just that little bit further each time. If this is what the Behemoth is capable of, Castle Crashers might just be brilliant as well.

I had this on the cube when it first came out. I didn't really get on with it back then so flogged it off. I downloaded the trial on XBLA a few weeks ago and had the same problem, yeah it sort of feels like metal slug but unlike metal slug is is REALLY HARD to see bullets and there is way too much going on.

I love run and gun games as much as the next man, if fact probably more so but for me this is just a colourful mess and almost unplayable.

I know not everyone feels this way but I just didn't get on with this game. I really wanted to!

On the other hand castle crashers looks great. I'm up for a bit of that!! 8)

This was based on the Flash Game by the same name. 2 of the people in Behemoth worked on it. (Tom Fulp and I think someone who worked on the graphics)
