5.0 out of 5 stars The best of everything, October 31, 2001

This review is from: Metal Warriors (Video Game)

Many of the SNES games out there have been either too boring or highly overated. This overlooked game ranks #1 in any game system I've ever played. You can chose a battle suit out of assorted suits ranking higher or lower depending on their abilities and original design. Then, you're taken into different side- scrolling arenas where you duke it out with your oppenent with different weapons. There's even power ups to boost your stength and techniques.
The best part of the game is that you can leave your battle suit as a tiny character and hunt in smaller tunnels for hidden power ups during the fight. In this mode, you're even armed with a little "pea shooter" if you dare taking on the enemy. You sure get your kicks in 2 player when you take out the other player's pod and proceed to terminate its survivor while you are armed a billion times superior. Or, even worse, have them beat you up, and retreat where only he/she can get you by jumping out, where you'll then take their healthy suit. It's a crime to have so much fun at another's expense. Very rich.

The fantastic fun factor of this game never ends. Unfortunately, this game was made in a limited quantity earlier on, hence its hefty price, but it's worth it if this type of game appeals to you. If you like action in battle, strategy or fighting games, this may be for you. Games like Mechwarrior and Armored Core were based off of this. Stick with the original.

I have played this game years ago and regret never buying it.
I love it so much I have it on computer with an emulator however, there is nothing better then playing it on the consol.

This is a side view 2d game that might feel a tiny bit like Contra.

Game offers a great single player campagne and amazing multiplayer split screen death match within different arenas.

You battle within a large Armed Mobile Suit or Mech.
You find power ups or weapons, when your mech is badly damage, you can get out and find another one (depending on map or situation)

This is simply one of the funnest games.
The fun factor is similar to contra, also the single player campagne is much longer.

The multiplayer can keep you playing for hours with you're friends.

Yes there are much newer consols such as the Xbox360 with fantastic graphics... But Metal Warriors Proves that Gameplay is far more important then eye candy graphics.

(Also proves that 2d games can be much funner then 3d games(some 2d games were ruined when remade to 3d but thats totally offtopic))

I am not able to figure out a better game on the SNES.
For its style, class, type of game.... There is no better !

5.0 out of 5 stars The most under-appreciated SNES game out there!, December 16, 2008

The fact that this is not one of the most popular SNES games of all time is a real shame. Take the fast paced action of games like Super Metroid and Megaman, add mission objectives, a variety of giant mechs. Even the ability to leave your mech and go it on foot.

The one player game is great, but the 2 player vs mode is possibly the most fun you will have with the SNES! All of the mechs are well-balanced, none can dominate the battle. You might have incredible fire power in one suit, but he is very slow. Another suit is weak but can fly. Everything evens out, and power-ups and ability to switch suits can cause incredible turn-arounds in the tide of the battle. When things get really ugly you can always challenge your opponent to a 'little man duel', ditching the mechs and trying to finsih the job with a jetback and a pea shooter. This is the only game you will play again and again in multiplayer.

A few more multi player levels or more suits would have been great. But this game is well worth its inflated price, and stands the test of time for classic video gaming.
