In addition to the canonical 7 chapters of the historic series, you will be able to access a series of fairly interesting additional contents: in detail, at the end of each episode the game assigns 'tokens' that will be used to unlock some extras. A few small details that justified the new purchase on PlayStation 4 for those who had already enjoyed the title on PlayStation 2 or Nintendo Wii. One wonders why a little bit, anything, hasn't been retouched. On balance, twenty years have passed and it passes from the first Metal Slug.

It is an anthology that is eleven years old: and eleven years ago the title was born ten years earlier. These are the same and identical games that you have come to love in the arcade, but reproposed on your home television, with the foresight of a couple of black bands on the sides to maintain an acceptable resolution without the image being conspicuously crumbling (bands which, however, can be safely removed so that the view can flood the entire screen). Nothing has been touched, revised, altered or updated, for better or for worse. The proposed versions of each chapter of the Metal Slug saga are practically the original ones that ran on cabinets. This version recently released on PlayStation Store is the same as it was eleven years ago. Today is the year 2017, which means that another eleven years have passed. Please note: Metal Slug Anthology was published in 2006, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the saga. The collection we are about to tell you something about collects all the chapters up to and including the sixth, including some goodies for enthusiasts. A pity, because it is fun like its predecessors. There would also be Metal Slug 7, but it came out exclusively on Nintendo DS and practically nobody knows about it.

We are talking about Metal Slug 2, X (an updated variant of Metal Slug 2), 3, 4, 5 and the little known Metal Slug 6, published exclusively on PlayStation 2 then translated elsewhere by SNK. Enough for them to pile up, one after another, at least six official followers of that first Metal Slug. The sound of the powerful 'heavy machine gun', the bright square that, if collected, gave the protagonist the heavy machine gun, still resounds in our heads. The price of each game is 50 cents, each of which guarantees us three lives inside the cabinets. As four unlikely special forces soldiers in a future where the Army has taken control of everything and everyone, we blast our way through mountains, lakes, huge bosses and poor unfortunate soldiers. PlayStation 4 tested version.ġ996: an extraordinarily fun and noisy title arrives in the arcades, Metal Slug. A nice anthology of the most famous scrolling shooter in the world.
