Mr Azar Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 So, after nearly one and a half years, I finally opened my copy of Metal Slug Anthology and began playing it with a cousin. It does not disappoint, and I now regret not opening it earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Metal Slug is a punch in the face, and the fist is made of awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombie Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have the wii version and it is fine. Got it for only 10 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 What version is better? I'm considering buying this myself. The Wii version has some rather odd control setups (no classic controller option, wiggling the controller to throw a grenade, etc.), and it's missing a few minor things in the game (boss flashes namely). The PS2 version has all the stuff from the original games, yet it has load times between scene changes (some less than a second, some about three seconds), and the controls possibly have a little lag (about 1/4 second on the first game, less on the ones that follow). The thing is, not everyone experiences this control lag, so that's an oddity. Oh, and the Wii has some load times as well, but it seems to be a lessened amount. I have the PS2 version, and it's quite good... better than the Wii version overall. The load times are a shame, but they don't break the game. None of the home versions of MSA are perfect, but I think the PS2 one wins out. Skip the PSP version altogether, as its load times are horrendous.

Brycepops Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 even off a memory stick? I was playing it like that last month. Didn't seem so bad to me :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halt Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Metal Slug is a punch in the face, and the fist is made of awesome. Well said DarkeSword. We used to have one at the movie theater around here, now its at the Taco Palace Game room, which I don't have any interest to go to, they may have free internet and a game room, but there food sucks.

LuketheXjesse Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Metal Slug helped form me into the individual that I am today. I remember first playing it at the skating rink exclaiming how magestically awesome it was. I also bought MS 4 and 5 for PS2 when they released that which was great and awesome fun. Metal Slug is a kick to the balls, and the foot is made of glory. (couldn't resist) Say, anyone play Metal Slug 7 for DS yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
