   They say that third time is a charm right? Well, with SNK and their latest compilation that phrase has never been more fitting. While Wii and PSP owners have been enjoying this massive collection of some of the best 2D action this side of Capcom’s glory days of MegaMan, they weren’t without their fair share of hindrances. The Wii version suffered from control issues while the PSP players had to deal with atrocious loading times. Now with the release of the PS2 version... Read more

   To Metal Slug officionados though, and that strange band of hardcore gamers who for some reason see SNK as untouchable, this is all moot. They need no more convincing to buy this package than the name "Metal Slug" on the front. Even they should be aware though that having all the games together makes it incredibly stark just how samey they are, and how little genuine work has gone into the series over the years. A better example of the law of diminishing returns is go... Read more

   Metal Slug Anthology is a worthy addition to any PS2 owner's game collection. It may be unusual, insistent on clinging to a long-gone gaming era, and incredibly hard at times, but by including every major Metal Slug game, is without doubt one of the finest platform shooter titles yet released.

   Since my first play of Metal Slug in a 4-in-1 Neo Geo cabinet, I've played every game in the series I could get my hands on, so it's no coincidence that a compilation of this magnitude would find its way into my hands. Metal Slug is the quintessential side-scrolling shooter that doesn't involve space ships. I'd even go so far as to rank it above the Contra games in the grand scheme of things. Blasphemy, I know, but Metal Slug is just better. Read more

   Gamers do not have to be long-standing fans of the Metal Slug series to appreciate this jam-packed anthology. With seven full arcade games to choose from, it makes the $40 price tag feel just right. Each game only lasts an hour or two if players opt to allow for infinite continues, but the combined package offers plenty of hours of shooting mayhem. Bright, colorful graphics, varied settings, powerful weapons, huge bosses and all the frantic action that made these game... Read more

   This game collection is awesome! Excellent collection for excellent price! I bought it last tuesday on ebay and receive yesterday. The gameplay is arcade perfect and sound and graphic too! Loading times are short and small slowdown of framerate is only in Metal Slug 2 (like MVS cabinet version). All other 6 games (Metal Slug 1 X 3 4 5 6) have smooth framerate. Everything other seems to be fine, but is not. I found difference between manual and game. For example: in ma... Read more
