Any Metal Slug fan will like this compilation. It's even better when you play it with a friend in co-op. Metal Slug Anthology is very fun over-the-top arcade action. I've never seen such a long loading time on another Metal Slug title. The second one is the long loading times. jumping around while dodging enemies and throwing grenades all at the same time.īad coding I guess, since I've never experienced input lag in any other port/version. You know when you play a game online and your player has a little delay? After a while, you forget about it, but it can become very annoying on parts where you need to do complicated tasks, ie. I'm not talking about an unbearable lag, but noticeable. The first one is the input lag (controller delay). Sometimes it has a weak point and others you just attack it until it goes down. At the end of each level there is a boss. Each game has different Metal Slugs but the most usual one is the tank.
You can also find a Metal Slug, a powerful vehicle that can easily destroy many enemies. Through each mission you find captured prisoners who reward you with weapons or items if you rescue them. You pick a character and then you get put into the action. The concept is simple, kill as many enemies as you can and survive through the different levels. Metal Slug Antholgy runs constantly on 60 fps, a higher framerate than the other versions, so everything looks more smooth. The enemy design is also good ranging from soldiers and tanks to zombies, mummies and aliens. You go through mountains, cities, sewers, military bases, rivers, spaceships. Every level is very different from the other one. Cartoonish and comical sprites, with lots of explosions, bullets and enemies in screen. The graphics are the same as the arcade, they've been left untouched. This compilation reunites all of the Metal Slug titles, with the exception of the spinoffs. Metal Slug is a scrolling shooter known for being an arcade classic that we all played at some point. Metal Slug Anthology (2007) PlayStation 2
