What are you playing?

I've never been very good with any Metal Slug game I've tried to play, and I thought maybe this would change with PC version of Metal Slug 3. It didn't really, but for some reason I'm having a lot more fun than I remember having with any other MS game. It's good to have a game that I can just charge through, shooting anything I see while trying to dodge anything that looks dangerous. Co-op is a blast too. The fact that I can rarely get through the first mission without using a continue (and the second without using 10) makes it seem like it's way harder than it ought to be, but I realised last night that this is probably intentional since the original goal of the arcade version was to devour coins.

All the same, I'd be thankful if anyone could confirm for me that it is normal to die that often.
