Do you still have a SNES and a Super Scope? Then you HAVE to get this game. You are the gunner on a "standing tank" (robot) and your job is to fight your way through a tournament to get to the bad guy who wronged you in some way. The game play is simple (let your gun charge, then fire at the bad guy's weak spot) but enjoyable because of the excellent super scope. For those with patience, Metal Combat also allows you to build up multiple charges for an extra powerful shot! If you've played Battleclash, then you'll love this game too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Game For That Time., January 20, 2004

This review is from: Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge (Video Game)

I have had this game since I was small and I loved it when I got it and I still do. I will first tell you the story of the game.

REBIRTH OF THE 21ST CENTURY

As the 21st century dawned and society ignored the warning signs of secial unrest and tamperings with nature' crime' riots' and food shortages became commonplace. Cities soon dissolved into ruins and were divided and run as armed camps. As earthquakes and flooding devastated the remaining great cities, all seemed to be lost. In this world of Anarchy' Human life was filled with violence' hatred and hopelessness. Soon' the only source of amusement became the Battle Game.

Advanced technology in weapons systems, armament and hydraulics were twisted to create a vehicle designed solely to compete in arena style combat. The first of these were little more than old army tanks outfitted with updated weapons systems. As prusuit of this new sport progressed, advanced designs with humanoid shapes soon began to appear. Originally called "Standing Tanks," they soon came to be called simply "ST." Typical combat between these metal monsters consisted of two STs facing off and firing their weapons at each other untill only one was left standing. Victory meant power and prestige. Defeat meant that the loser would become a second-citizen, forced to serve the victors.

Not all accepted the Battle Games's system. One young man, Mike Anderson, refused to live by the station being forced on him by his father's defeat in the Battle Game. Determined to seek vengeance on the fighter who had defeated his father, Mike dedicated his life to learning all he could about technology of the STs.

While Mike trained, Anubis, the fighter who had defeated his father, continued to win even more power fighting in his ST Thanatos. As he took cotrol, Anubis promoted the best fighters in the Battle Game to be his "chiefs." Along with this title' each was given control over a portion of the earth.

Upon completion of his self imposed training, Mike undertook a most dangerous goal: to battle through Anubis' Chiefs and take on the one who had declared Emperor, Anubis.

Three years has passed since anubis suffered defeat at the hand of Mike Anderson. A new age of prosperity has begun to emerge, and along with it, the rebirth of some of some of earth's great cities. Just as quickly as he disappeared following his defeat, Anubis has reappeared to resume his tyranny. Again you must join Mike and attempt to crush the iron rule of Anubis before he can once more throw earth back into the darkest of ages.

The Review

Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge is part 2 to Battleclash if you have ever played that game. I have them both. I think Metal Combat was a popular game back then. I do not know. I got the SNES when it first came out in 1991 and I was only 12 when I got this game in 1993. My mom was the one who bought me my games for christmas. I made a list. Today I bye my own games with my own money. But I do know is that I loved this game back then and I still love it today. Even though I do not play my SNES as much as I used to. My one system I play is PS2. The graphics were nice for that time but today they are outdated. Todays graphics are much sharper. Metal Combat is a super scope game like the first one but if you do not have the light gun, me myself I have it, then you can use the pad. The charaters in todays games look more prounced. Today they use computers. Its technology today in these times. The animation of the background was also good for back then but today it goes for what I said before. All in all it was a good game for back then and maybe even for even todays times. If you have never played games before and you choose the SNES as your first system because you get one cheap and you come across this game then get. You will enjoy it. But let me tell you something that if you start bying other systems and get a ps2 next you will never play this game again with how games are much better today. But maybe you will. Thank You.
