I recently played Metal Slug for the 1st time on the PSP Metal Slug Anthology, and was really impressed with the games! Great animations and very funny. Plus, I suck..so it's nice to be able to turn on infinite continues.
Whoa, this game looks awesome. I'm considering bying a DS just for that. You should try Alien Hominind HD for the Xbox 360! It's alot like the metal slug series.
...but does it have unlimited continues? That way I can play though the whole game, never getting frustrated in the process or, or better yet!...does it blend?
the whole series is my favorite series and one of the ms's is my favorite but which one.I have the most nostalgic memories for metal slug x so i guess that one
man, it's been ages since i played a metal slug game. i forget, do you die if you stay in your tank, camel, death machine, whatever when it explodes? or do you just jump out unharmed?
I jumped straight to metal slug XX, and when I watched this video I realized this version has the original sound effects and voices (while XX has new updated voices and sound effects, not as memorable). I gotta get this game now!
Wow dude...I just got this game brand new last night for $15...can't believe you just happened to pick this for today...too funny. This game is awesome...played for a couple hours before I went to bed.
Looks like a great Metal Slug game. if you're a fan of Contra, you should try Contra 4 on DS. Even though I'm first to comment, I don't like when people just say 1st and don't say anything about the video.
I actually got this a few weeks ago to play on my breaks at work it is really really fun and well worth buyin if someone wants an old school platformer shooter
Ignore those haters, just keep doing what you do. I laughed at all those jokes, even the "Happy, HAPPY hour.... Seven." one. Now if you excuse me, I'm off to watch ALL the reviews!
My last comment didn't seem to show up. I just wanted to say that this looks like a great Metal Slug game. If you're a fan of Contra, you should check out Contra 4 (also on the DS). I also wanted to say that I'm the first to comment, but I don't like when people just say "1st" but don't say anything in regards to the video.
I personally think the series was finished with Metal Slug 6, which was the last game in series to actually add any new and interesting gameplay mechanics. MS6 added new characters, characters with their own unique abilities (rather than just different appearances) and the ability to carry two powerups at a time. MS7 doesn't introduce any new gameplay mechanics and feels like MS6 with just a few new levels and bosses.
That's generous. MS6 at least had creative level design and a wonderful soundtrack. MS7 has neither. Utterly soulless compared to even the worst of the first six games.

10 years ago, MetalJesus! You still rock!
13 and going stromg!
Thank so much to mark for showing us gems like these,never knew about slug on ds...
They should have released Metal Slug Anthology for DS... and add 2 player wireless co-op. -_-
...Metal Slug XX has it in PSP
(...Or in Xbox Live Arcade)
amazing game, have to say i like this even more than metal slug x. snk always makes awesome stuff :D
I lost so much money playing these games in the mexican arcades
Brings back so much nostalgia I loved metal slug when I was little
This was the most hilarious review I've ever watched. Great job!

totally forgot about this game and then randomly remembered it. had to find the name and glad I did.
i didn't even know this existed until now and keep up the good work
I love the whole metal slug series this by- far is my favorite shooter series.
I NEED IT!!!! Thanks CGR, for a review of another fantastic product!
When you pick up the rocket launcher, does it still sound like it's saying 'donkey puncher'?
That is great man. I am going to get this series on the PS2. I really enjoy this series. The graphics still hold up damn well today.
Metal Slug series is a game that can never make players bored!
EPIC review dude.The game looks good I cant wait to get I hope the put in more metal slug machines and new weapons.
THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THIS!
I had no idea this was even out? How is that possible? I'm getting this today!
The game looks gorgeous!
nice review Mark of a nice shooter series and adictive, thanks ;-)
Metal Slug X is pretty fun, epic final boss battle.
Which Metal Slug comes with the SNK compilation for the PSP?
Metal Slug is legendary....great review, Mark
awesome review dude!!!
I wonder if you will review pokemon lol!!!
"People will notice........how cool you are." XD
Think the new DSi XL will help all that much?
I've also heard that the DS can be emulated.
SNK Gods of the Arcade
Does this one have a free play option under credits like the 3rd one for XBLA? Cuz i like to see the end of the game, then play it legitly.
Great review, and a great game. Highly suggest it as well, although it can be a bit short but it has good replay value.
have you done a review about matal slug advance?
awsome review mark
Love these games have them all on my jacked snes mini 2 player as well 😍
nice review man!
does this game have the zombies that spit out cyclop's optic blast?
...but does it have unlimited continues? That way I can play though the whole game, never getting frustrated in the process or, or better yet!...does it blend?
so double x is just the xbox live arcade port then? cause this is all the stuff i recognise from it
@Danaceb yeah, but the psp cant seem to sell games. :) so why put it on there?
Great stuff, love the Metal Slug games. Portable 5200...awesome!!
Nice review :D
Looks awesome, how do you think it compares to Contra 4?
review is awesome (:
I am sure it was tricky to made such one from ds
awesome :) i play metal slug antylogy and metal slug XX on PSP...yesturday i went to the arcades and played some MS2 arcade style...it was awesome :)
the whole series is my favorite series and one of the ms's is my favorite but which one.I have the most nostalgic memories for metal slug x so i guess that one
the only series that can recycle sprites and still be fun
man, it's been ages since i played a metal slug game. i forget, do you die if you stay in your tank, camel, death machine, whatever when it explodes? or do you just jump out unharmed?
Great review
I jumped straight to metal slug XX, and when I watched this video I realized this version has the original sound effects and voices (while XX has new updated voices and sound effects, not as memorable). I gotta get this game now!
Love these games have them all on my jacked snes mini 2 player as well 😍
:O the last time ive seen metal slug it was a few years ago when i played Metal Slug X on Ps1
nice review. looks awesome
"I have metal slug 2 on the neo geo CD"
Never thought i would ever hear that phrase
metal slug is a great game! Got it on my PSP and always play it when waiting
Is there 2 player co op in this? That'd be sick.
I love the way it says "METAL SLUG" at the title screen xD
Great review for a great game
The flying thing at 5:56 reminds me of the Combine Overwatch Elite helmet from Half-Life 2
Are there any games similar to MS on the DS or 3DS?
When I get a DS this will be one of the games I will buy for it.
That was my fist action game
Is this maybe on vectrex?
Happy happy hour... 7...
Wow dude...I just got this game brand new last night for $15...can't believe you just happened to pick this for today...too funny. This game is awesome...played for a couple hours before I went to bed.
I've got this game. Never quite beat the last level. I'll get back to it someday. Probably soon, since I'm almost done mastering Sonic Rush Adventure.
MS was one of the first games I have ever played and its still one hell of a fun game!
Metal Slug was an arcade game that i can't stop playing, it too amazying.
Nice work (:
While watching this review, I wound up missing the good times, having a Metal Gear party at work on the Wii in the break room. Good times.
If only I had a DS :(
Looks like a great Metal Slug game. if you're a fan of Contra, you should try Contra 4 on DS.
Even though I'm first to comment, I don't like when people just say 1st and don't say anything about the video.
Metal Slug XX is coming out soon for the PSP...cant wait!
The image is teeny tiny on an old DS but its a great game - the only way to play MS7 too I believe!
its not teeny tiny on the dsi xl....
Ha I'm playing it on my android ,on my big screen lol.
Also, 5 stars for a hilarious review!
Awesome looking game. Wish I owned a DS.
You should definitely review the Metal Slug games on the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
This screen-capture makes the game look MUCH better than in emulation! Hell, I'd even say it looks better on a DS screen than Metal Slug XX does in HD
I actually got this a few weeks ago to play on my breaks at work it is really really fun and well worth buyin if someone wants an old school platformer shooter
Metal Slug X and Metal Slug 3, and this one are my top 3 in the series.
wow this looks like fun, gonna try it
Dude, I love this game!
I found this game on Ebay for $3 bucks so I totally ordered is coming in 3 days!!
We're sorta the same. I suck at side scrolling shooters a lot, but I like them. LOL.
Metal Slug is great! :)
So fun !
totally buying this, *goes to ebay* metal slug 3 was my favorite personally, but i love them all
lol, happy happy hour 7.
I've got this game on the DS but never played enough to get any good xD
this ones also available for PSP. I think its called Metal Slug XX
Ignore those haters, just keep doing what you do. I laughed at all those jokes, even the "Happy, HAPPY hour.... Seven." one. Now if you excuse me, I'm off to watch ALL the reviews!
I played all thw metal slug games all in a row on the collection. It just seemed like a really long game to me that just got better and better
Oh man , The game over scares me but i remember this game my brother used to play this game on the ds
14 years ago and i just found out about it and it still great today
My last comment didn't seem to show up. I just wanted to say that this looks like a great Metal Slug game. If you're a fan of Contra, you should check out Contra 4 (also on the DS).
I also wanted to say that I'm the first to comment, but I don't like when people just say "1st" but don't say anything in regards to the video.
Best game of my childhood on PS1 my mom played with me but she was good at thank god they made this best game ever.
if it is you who's playing it, dude, yor're good at this!!! O_O
There's a 7th?
I personally think the series was finished with Metal Slug 6, which was the last game in series to actually add any new and interesting gameplay mechanics. MS6 added new characters, characters with their own unique abilities (rather than just different appearances) and the ability to carry two powerups at a time. MS7 doesn't introduce any new gameplay mechanics and feels like MS6 with just a few new levels and bosses.
Just like Metal Slug and Metal Slug 2.
...Metal Slug XX is better. With co-op, altern routes and Leona Heidern.
That's generous. MS6 at least had creative level design and a wonderful soundtrack. MS7 has neither. Utterly soulless compared to even the worst of the first six games.
good review
@Volothos There was blood in another Nintendo game Loooong ago. Monster Party as well as Sweet Home
No zombie misions??
I still have the old school DS. It's fine, and you can probably get it used/cheap.
Thumbs up if you want a Metal Slug 8.
I prefer Fio over any character. I don't know, I just like her.
3:11 YOu have no idea! xD I had a 2D crush with Fio and Eri back in grade school when I played Metal Slug X :)
@gamecollect101 X is released on PS1
