Metal Slug (メタルスラッグ, Metaru Suraggu), also called Metal Slug 3D (メタルスラッグ3D) to distinguish it from the original Metal Slug, is a third-person shooter run and gun video game developed and published by SNK Playmore for the PlayStation 2. It is a spin-off of the Metal Slug series and is the first game of the series to be presented in 3D. None of the original Metal Slug team were involved with the title.
The game had no definite title when it was first unveiled in Tokyo Game Show in 2004. In E3 of 2005, SNK Playmore revealed the game to be called Metal Slug: Evolution, but it was later changed to just Metal Slug.
The game was released only in Japan on June 29, 2006 due to mostly negative reviews from critics. Despite this, it contains texts and menus that are mostly in English, as well as English voice acting. Japanese subtitles and dialogue are also available.
