Metal Slug has always intrigued my interests ever since I played it on the Neo Geo. Years later, it is still one of my favorite series I've ever played. Here's the rundown: Each game presented in the anthology is definitely solid and holds dear to the original style of gameplay. The graphics live up to its name despite it being a 2-D side scrolling game. The game mechanics also have stayed the same, which means the same problem of aiming (to me) is also presented in each game individually. The extras are likeable, but complicated to achieve. I only give this a good rating due to limited replayability. You would be simply using different characters in different settings, except when it comes to Metal slug 4 and up, where you choose diferent characters but with a preset weapon or speciality. Overall, it is enjoyable and a must have for those wishing to immerse themselves into the series.Read full review
The good news is the games are exactly as anyone would remember them, if you loved them you still will if you didn't don't buy this game. The only glaring problem is loading screens, they pop up constantly and can take anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds to pass. They pop up at every in game location change, every menu change, and even when you're simply trying to switch characters at the start of the game. games play fine but loading screens get annoying very quickly.
It's nice to see old school games in this console . I really enjoy the game works fine .good conditions THANKS

I gave positive marks for METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY for the Playstation 2, and for the most part they still stand. Given the option, I'd go with GUNSTAR HEROES (Genesis), but METAL SLUG is a fun diversion. I have my gripes, like how getting shot in the foot can result in an agonizing fiery death, how you lose special weapons after said death, and also the jumping control seems a tad delayed or unresponsive at times. I can say that the PSP version seems to have tighter controls, but the insane "arcade" difficulty is still there. Overall, still a treat.
I was very supprised to see this game still out. I have loved this game ever scence I played on arcade machines.Game play in very nice for a portable system i seen someone sayed that the black lines on the sides of the screen there is an option to make widescreen just to let yall know!! All in all this game is amazing a little old school games that we played the crap out of and some new titles if u had ever played this game it is very worth the money will keep you intertained for hours on end!!!
