Brief synopsis of Metal Slug Anthology

In 1996, an arcade legend was born with the release of Metal Slug Super Vehicle 001 on the Neo-Geo MVS Arcade system. The military-themed, side-scrolling platform game quickly became known for its sense of humour and hilarious cartoon style, mixed with extremely fluid hand-drawn animation and fast-paced two-player action. Metal Slug Super Vehicle 001's wild popularity meant that, based on its success, SNK would go on to develop and publish seven Metal Slug sequels.

Fast forward ten years or so, and the worldwide popularity of the franchise has seen many iterations across multiple platforms through the years. From Arcades to the PlayStation 2, to mobile phones and now the PSP, Metal Slug has made a huge impression on gamers over the years.

The Metal Slug 10th Anniversary party continues with the release of this definitive PSP collection of SNK's classic arcade franchise, featuring a whopping seven great Metal Slug titles on one UMD a worthy tribute to the days of old-school shoot-'em ups.

Included in the collection are Metal Slugs 1 to 6 plus Metal Slug X all perfect ports of the arcade classics and all featuring Wireless support for intense two-player co-op action.

Its all here - the cartoon-style character design, the over-emphasised death animations and the amusingly ridiculous array of controllable vehicles such as turret-mounting camels, leap-frogging gun emplacements and, of course, Metal Slug itself.

This time the Ikari Warriors Ralf Jones and Clark Still (also familiar to fans of the KOF series) join in the action to aid Marco, Tarma, Eri and Fio in their battle with the elusive General Morden.

All versions have full support for both widescreen and original screen format. With loads of bonus galleries containing classic poster and character art, unlockable items and more Metal Slug goodies, this is the ultimate Metal Slug package in your hands.

Rated - 3 starsNot a bad game to be honest.

DavidD78UK from Hartlepool [Highly rated reviewer] , 26/04/2008

I have been wanting to play this for a long time now and now that I have played it, it not a bad game really and it more like a old style shoot em' up from the early 90's but saying that isn't a bad thing I know it would be better as a Gamecube game the a Wii game but I liked it. What I did like was the choice of controllers Wii remote with or without nunchuk or which I found a lot easier was the Gamecube gamepad it felt more natural to be honest. The only problem I have with this game it almost impossible to end each level with saving the prisoners you are suppose to collected during the game because everytime you die and comeback you lose your prisoners total each time which is really annoying. Overall not a bad game really, it isn't great but for bit of old school gaming this still a enjoyable game worth renting if nothing else.

I had 21 items in my list (all of them Wii games) and I received this, which was at the bottom of my list. I played it for about 10 minutes. It is nothing but an old arcade game. It doesn't utilise the Wii's novel controls in any inventive way. If you do want to experience the Wii control/nunchuck to the full, I suggest renting The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
