Metal Slug needs no introduction. Almost every video game enthusiast knows about this title from SNK. The company has released different versions of this arcade game and now for PSP enthusiasts it has clubbed the seven different versions into a single package known as Metal Slug Anthology.
The whole package gives you the opportunity to face die hard battles and crush a variety of opponents using a large number of weapons, tanks and grenades. Metal Slug is basically a 2D game which has animations similar to the legendary Contra. Metal Slug Anthology (PSP) has a goofy sense of humor, detailed graphics and lots of POWs which have to be rescued without any harm. Each version of Metal Slug is unique in terms of the bosses, background scenes, stages, sound effects and the bad guys. With each upgraded version you will find some new weapons and armor too.
This military shooter series is the quintessential arcade game. The only irritating thing is the extra loading long screens which tend to disrupt the game flow. This can cause a lot of hassles for the veterans but still the overall pace of the game is smooth. In fact if the SNK is offering seven great titles at the price of one, then these small issues can be ignored with ease. One major problem with most of the arcade games is that either the number of continues are limited, or they are unlimited, which then destroys the challenging flavor.
Metal Slug Anthology also offers a unique and special feature. You can always choose between the two modes, i.e. limited continues or unlimited continues. You can also save the game progress in the memory stick at any point of time. The Metal Slug Anthology contains Metal Slug 3, which is widely considered to be the best of all the Metal Slugs. It has been technically improved. The legends of the King Of Fighters, Ralf and Clark are available as playable characters in the 6th version. Lots of new and exciting Easter Eggs are available in this version. Any Metal Slug or arcade fan should not be without it.
