All of em!…Metal Slug Anthology
October 31st 2006 11:14
Owners of Sony’s handheld console the PSP (along with the PS2 and Wii) will be in for a treat next month when SNK Playmore releases all the Metal Slug titles from 1 to 6 (6 being the latest release this year) in one little package. This is brilliant for sidescroller freaks and me being an avid fan of these types of shooter games, am very happy indeed!
For those unfamiliar with the Metal Slug series, the games essentially put players against hordes of enemies who are fought against in a 2D sidescroller platform. Players control military characters who can throw nades and shoot a variety of guns to take out their enemies (players can also control cute little tanks and aeroplanes too!). Network play is also available for PSP owners, with players being able to play side by side in gameplay.
On first site the game may look a tad ugly, but boy is it addictive! When I look at this title I see straightforward and uncomplicated gameplay which represents an awesome game. In comparative to similar titles such as Duke Nukem 1 and 2 and also pilot games like Raiden Fighters which have long passes, SNK still releases Metal Slug titles which I am happy to see (also shows that there is a strong fan base in existence!).
These games all wrapped up in a bargain bundle will sure be a blast and I recommend it to all. The only question is how strong are your fingers and thumbs…because this title has an awful amount of button bashing!
