This rerelease of Metal Slug 7 offers up beautiful new graphics and the ability to play with a friend.

The Metal Slug series is one that I have often enjoyed with friends in the past. I got my start with the series on the Xbox with Metal Slug 3, and later 4 & 5. Shortly thereafter, the collection was released for the Wii (amongst other systems) and myself and friends dedicated a good amount of time blasting through the entire series. The games were undeniably fun with a second player right by your side. Metal Slug 7 was released last year on the DS and I couldn't bring myself to pick it up without any sort of multiplayer included. I must assume that I was not alone, and as a result, SNK has rereleased the game with some additional content on the PSP as Metal Slug XX.

Josh finds Jill, and the two proceed to escape the compound in which they are trapped. This escape makes for a decently fun play experience that is much heavier on the action than its DLC predecessor.
