  • Summary: Now you can play two of your arcade favorites without any quarters, since Metal Slug 4 and 5 have come to the PlayStation 2 in one complete package. Join Marco and a cast of other Metal Slug characters as they battle corrupt forces in the air, on the sea, and on land. Use power-ups, special weapons, health, and ammo to try to keep up with each game's nonstop action and challenging enemies. Of course, you can also test-drive the next generation of Metal Slug vehicles. Expand

  1. It'd be a little more worthwhile if an arcade-perfect Metal Slug 3 had been included in the collection, but this is still a must-have for those of us who fondly remember our local arcade.
  2. They are thumb-numbingly difficult, though with infinite continues this challenge is undermined – making completing either game a matter of simple devotion rather than skill.
  3. This two-disk game retails for a reduced price, which is still a bit steep considering that there is not much content unless you explicitly look for it.
  4. The Metal Slug package should be purchased by the most hardcore of fans only.

    While I really love this series and these games, it's a shame they're arcade perfect. More specifically, the problem is that there are unlimited continues. This means anyone can beat the game under most any circumstances. If I was blindfolded and forced to wear boxing gloves, I'd still be able to win easily. This is a major oversight considering the type of gamer that is into the metal slug series. If the game was like Metal Slug 3 on xbox and had limited continues, I would probably rate this package a 9/10 - great games. Expand
