- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- Metal Slug Anthology is a wonderful collection of classic Metal Slug games released in late 2006. The Metal Slug series has achieved critical acclaim by being a solidly fun and wild 2d sidescrolling run and gun. You play as one member of a skilled tactical unit sent into various environments to free prisoners and defeat evil enemies. Along the way you pick up powerups and various weapons to overpower the large amount of enemies coming at you from all sides! The compilation contains Metal Slug 1 through 6 as well as Metal Slug X all in their original format. This video game review is brought to you by Classic Game Room's Jen and features gameplay footage from the Wii version of the Metal Slug Anthology, published and developed by SNK Playmore. Available on the Wii and PlayStation 2.

Though not much changes between the games in this series, the quality of the standard game structure makes Metal Slug one of the best in gaming. If I had a free afternoon and someone placed a Metal Slug game in front of me and something to play it on, that afternoon would be gone.
Not all series can boast that level of good consistency.
there should be no excuse for anyone to say they haven't played Metal Slug. I grew up as a poor Latino with my mom and later my dad here in the states. From a guy that used plants as action figures I can tell you that I managed to find this game wherever it was.
because you're Latino lmao
From what I heard, the game actually does have classic controller support, but only in the japanese version.
Beautiful pixels. The Metal Slug graphics are a shining beacon of 2D artistic style and talent!
My fav. was always Metal Slug 4 with the different characters 2 Machine Guns and That Motorcycle level... it was just awesome.
Based on your review I ordered myself a copy of Amazon :-), don't know why i had not picked it up before now though, guess cause I have the other SNK collections lol!
My main gripe with this one is the fact that when you hit a boss or enemy vehicle they don't blink red so I always think I miss when i actually hit them
Meanwhile...
"BUY METAL SLUG 3 on PS4 for 15.99!"
ughhh...
Seriously??
You can use gamecube controller?, didn't know that, I thought I was gonna have to adapt to the nunchuck wii controller which I didn't think would be a problem either, I just bought it for £17.99, PS2 dual shock is and always has been absolute garbage and they have never tried to better it unlike Nintendo and X-box controllers.
"woah BIG!" is my favourite transformation as it make all your guns better :D
its obfious why everyones favorite is 3, its with no doubt the longest and most epic, something SNK playmore will never overcome.
So would it be best to just get the Anthology? If so, then would the same apply to Samurai Showdown?
if you have this game for the wii, you must use the gamecube controllers, by far the best way to play it.
You can, but I think with that control set-up you have to shake the Wiimote to throw grenades...
Sorry I have it on the PS2, and this input lag that you speak of, isn't a problem with me. Plus the fact that this didn't have Classic Controller support is another reason I prefer my PS2 version. I mean KoF Orochi Saga has CC support, and it's wonderful, yet this doesn't.
@pippo17173 Why change it if it's not broken? :)
@Broyale26 what load times? if it lags your disc is either scratched or your ps2 is messed up
I don't have any lag issues on the ps2 version...
great review! this game is going for cheap I need to pick up a copy
How do you set the screen ratio to 4:3 on a wide screen for the actual games? I could not find the option in the settings in the main menu and on a wide screen system setting (Wii menu), it uses a terrible zoom configuration that makes everything looks overly pixelllated.
Jen, are you a writer or something?
Nice review btw. I remember playing this game on Ps2. Too bad it doesn't work :(
does the ps2 version have anything wrong with it? i heard that it had some unresponsive controls or something
Metal Slug 3 - The pinnacle of 2D gaming.
Port to the Vectrex? Please
No classic controller support... but what about Tatsunoko vs Capcom arcade stick support? :)
Good review
the classic wasnt out when this game came out.
how nice it is to listen to the weapon names sfx again, my favorites are HEAVY MACHINE GUN, SHOTGUN, ROCKET LAUNCHER and (the best of all) STONE!!!
I hope snk make a metal slug 8. I am hoping for that game to excist and to be different from the others.
So are these games arcade-perfect?
I just watched other MS videos on RUclips, and here it somewhat looks different
i've studied this video for a while, and i must conclude its not the same as the arcade, despite this girl says its exactly the same
3 is defo the best
METAL SLUUUG!!!!!!!!HELL YEA i REMEMBER THIS!!!!!
Love Jen
hehe, she said, "tickle my wii..."
I have the anthology for the PSP I play it every god damn day
2:10 ikr? did you see how much blood they vomit?
I hope the Wii u dose not end up like the Wii were some games support the classic controller and not the pro controller and visa versa
Get the PS2 version and the controller issue is no longer an issue.
My childhood with Metal Slug,.. good memories..
all those arabic words in the background, is not racist or anything, the first is just like "bank shop" or something like that,
I kind of want this.
Metal Slug 1-3 is god tier
@edwardbaseball xD You can't have Metal Slug Without the Awesome Explosion Slowdown!
metal slug are the only games from SNK i think they are good
i still got this on ps2 :D
An I the only one who likes the first one better than the other??
Well, I like very much the fourth game, I can't judge you.
Man the nearest gamestop that has a copy near me is 7 miles away,and all the amazon sellers are greedy. Guess my best bet is too keep checking a local small buiisness named cd trader and the gamestop web site until i find the thing. The switch ports are over priced and the ps4 ports have input lag supposedly.
The Arcade Archives Switch/PS4/Xbox One ports imo are better since they're more faithful in terms of emulation. Although Metal Slug 2 on Arcade Archives still has slowdown since the emulation there is more faithful to the OG arcade. You can just get the ACA portd on a sale like I did for $4
I wish these guys would talk less professionally and more normally [ sort of like mark]
he doesn't sound like a robot like most interviewers..
he's the only one worth listening to in the CGR tbh
I can't believe that this game doesn't support Dpads. It really ruins it for me. I hate playing metal slug without arcade controls.
HEAVY MACHINE GUN!!
yeah! 3 is the best.
i hear ''RAWKITLAUNCHAIR''
@edgehead2002 I have Metal Slug on the Neo Geo CD....
@Mrwarfishy ok maybe one person but thats it
My friend once come to my house and we poop in metal slug ANTHOLOGY we beat metal slug 1,2,3,4 and we get tired and my fiends mom come to my house it was 11 hours night man that was memory
@bestgoalie95 Yet you care enough to make a comment about it, don't feed the trolls =\
As long as there are people talking about or replying to the people saying "first", there will be people saying "first".
The secret is to let the person making the videos decide if he wants to block/report the user or delete the comments.
I bought this game for $20. I hope I made a wise purchase. (Sure I did) lol
psp has online play too
this is so much better on the ps2.
ROCKET LOWNCHA!
@bestgoalie95 Someone is angry that they wasn't first.
Santa isn't real?
dutch menneer If you don't believe in Santa, you might as well not believe in woodland pixies!
@FortuneNeko Haha I was kidding, hence the lol, ftw, and ;)
Ps2 version is far superior. Dualshock 2 is amazing for this series and lots of cool unlockables!
Tickle your Wii fancy, eh?
There's a serious PSP problem with this channel.Why did you forget to mention that this anthology is also available for the psp?Oh man that's dissapointing...
More like Awesomethology.
I have the PS2 Version! So much better! Cuz you know PS2 controller :P
destruction
LOL tickle my wii fancy
Needs moar RAWKIT LAWNCHAIR
@megamegaman247 Your last in My opinion
i wanna get metal slug 3 for my ps vita but 15$!!? its my favorite one of the series but 15 dollars!!!???.....i think im a just go with the anthology 6 more games for 5 more dollars you cant beat that im not that bright but im not that dumb either i know what im getting 15 dollars....smh
"unaltered"... except for all of the horrible sounds changes... i have never shuddered so much...
COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. I spent 20 dollars on this game for my vita. the games are amazing, but i can barely get through it because I alway run out of continues and it sais "Insert coins" and i cant do anything and when it games over, it still sais insert coin and doesnt let me do anything. and I have to exit the game , which means i cant even restart the level. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PLEASE TELL ME. ;-;
just keep playing, it's an arcade game for a reason lmao
Yes but i dont have the time. I cant just sit around for an hour. I dont mind a game over, but I dont want to spend hours apon hours trying to reach the end. Anyway I learned to fix it, but not the way i would have liked.
Evan Peets and if you keep playing it you will be able to beat it in under an hour
no, but if i die enough it said "insert coin" and wouldnt let me continue. I fixed it but at that time i couldnt find the options
do you not understand what I'm saying? In all respect, you have no idea.
@megamegaman247 furist?!???
lol
It's not a fucking coin eater.
Psp version is THE BEST !!!
You can play where you want and connect the psp at the tv with the rgb or composit cable.
PSP VERSION WINS !!
@TheFoReoDeo u lose.
Rubbish review. I dont care about you or you buying the game. JUST REVIEW THE GAME. ITS NOT ABOUT YOU
