MS4 is shit.
It was shit back in 2002.
It was still shit in 2012.
It'll still be shit in 2022.
etc. etc. etc.
As a run and gun game on its own, it may have some mediocre merits, but as part of the series it's awful. There's no craftsmanship to it... it's just a glorified homebrew hack with zero charm, dull gameplay, and features that add nothing to the game itself (monkey mode - why?) and some of the worst slugs (I know, let's take one of the sewer crawlers from Slug 2 and turn its sprite into an actual Metal Slug - genius!).
Bottom line... game is shit.

Lol Tarma keeping it real years later.
1, X and 5 are all one needs. Once you play the last mission in 3 there's no point in going through that monstrosity ever again.MS1, 2, X & 3 are the only ones worth having in your collection.

3 has no intro jingle, it says it all.
