Product Description
Platform: Sony PSP
In 1996 an arcade legend was born with the release of Metal Slug: Super Vehicle 001. The military-style themes, and a side-scrolling platform mixed with a wacky sense of humor and hilarious cartoon style, proved extremely popular to a decidedly wide audience. Based on this success, seven more Metal Slug sequels would be developed and released. Ten years later, The Metal Slug game play and popularity are still going strong. To celebrate, the creators of the Metal Slug Anthology stopped at nothing to provide a 2D, side scrolling compilation for the PSP that is perfectly compatible with all the great game play possibilities that the PSP has to offer.

Fun:
The Metal Slug anthology is a great addition to your PSP library. 10 years after these Neo-Geo games had their arcade runs, they're now available to own on one PSP disc!
The gameplay is simplistic - just run and shoot everything and everyone that gets in your way. There's no complex backstory to follow, but with games like this, there's no need: just choose your character and let the shooting begin!
This anthology comes with the following games:
Metal Slug
Metal Slug 2
Metal Slug X
Metal Slug 3
Metal Slug 4
Metal Slug 5
Metal Slug 6
Now the best part of any game is the replay value, right? Well, there's plenty of unlockables in this compilation designed to keep you coming back even after you conquer each of the seven Metal Slug games.
When you complete a Metal Slug game, you get a reward:
Completing a game on easy gives you 3 tokens.
Completing a game on normal gives you 4 tokens.
Completing a game on hard gives you 5 tokens.
With these tokens, you can unlock content to download right to your PSP and transfer to your Playstation 3 or your PC!
Unlockable content includes:
(1) Metal Slug Wallpapers & Desktop Themes
(2) Metal Slug Art Galleries
(3) Music from the Metal Slug series
(4) An interview with the Metal Slug original development team!
+ Pros:
+ 7 games at a very reasonable price.
+ High replay value.
+ Saveable progress within EACH Metal Slug game.
+ Allows selection of infinite continues for novice players.
+ Ad Hoc mode allows dual player games by connecting PSP's wirelessly.
- Cons:
- Load times diminish battery life.
- Unable to start another game at the "Game Over" screen.
- Lag times when too many characters are on-screen.
The Metal Slug anthology is perfect for those business trips or road trips - you deserve some good old-fashioned fun on your PSP.
Enjoy!

Fun:
I had always enjoyed playing this game in the arcades while I was growing up. I never knew that I could one day have all six games in the palm of my hand. All the games are screen for screen duplicates of their arcade big brothers. I'm very happy with my purchase of this game.

Fun:
This is a great compilation of the Metal Slug series. This is a great port. I think the PSP version is perfect. This is a great game to pick up and play for a while, and finish later. It's great if you have 5 minutes to kill, or 2 hours. If you like the Metal Slug games at all, you will appreciate this compilation. Most of the games are all the same, but have enough variation to feel different from each other. The only negative I can think of is the loading times. They aren't especially long, but they happen between EVERY scene in the same level. Plus at the character select screen it takes a good 3-4 seconds each time you cursor over a different character... The loading times aren't in critical spots in the gameplay, but they do get long sometimes, and get annoying when they happen every few minutes. I would still recommend this compilation highly to anyone that likes action games, or a fan of the series.

Digital Download is the way to go.

RaRaRa Rocket launcher!
This is a fun game, the load times are not as bad as people make it out to be. The only complaint I have is when it starts to lag when you have too many objects on the screen. Read more

musings on the game metal slug
Metel slug is a work of art in and of itself.
The senery is breathtaking at least to me.
It is perhaps to busy sometimes though,
And it gets choppy. Read more

Great little game
Few games are as easy or fun to pick up and play as Metal Slug. And with six varieties on a single disc, this will easily become one of the most played titles in your collection.
