Product Description

In Metal Slug 4 you'll take the battle to the air, sea and land as you once again battle Morden's forces. In the year 20XX, a cyber-terrorist group has struck out at the world by unleashing a computer virus to hijack the world's militaries. You'll fight to stop the distribution of the virus before it's too late. Then move on to Metal Slug 5, where the secrets of next-generation Metal Slug technology have been stolen. Lead your team into the "Corridor Of Fire" to recover the secrets and destroy the paramilitary syndicate known as the Ptolemaic Army.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick Play but Mindlessly Fun, August 21, 2005

By	Lisa Shea "LisaShea.com" - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

With this combo pack, you get two separate DVDs with two separate games on them. One is Metal Slug 4, and the second is the sequel, Metal Slug 5.

First, it's important to remember that neither of these games are "current". They're old school. That means you're playing side scrollers with blocky graphics. It's actually amazing how well they could do design work with those blocks of shape and color! The sounds are also pretty basic, but do a good job of drawing you into the action.

In Metal Slug 4, you move along the path as one of four heroes, blasting away at enemies with guns, grenades, flamethrowers and more. In Metal Slug 5, you also get 4 characters to choose from. In both cases the choices are 2 girls or 2 guys, which is pretty amazing for "ancient gaming" :)

The graphics are slightly improved in Metal Slug 5, and you get some new enemies, but really it's a continuation of the same gameplay and graphic style.

Because these were arcade games, you get a "continue" when you die, meaning you can just restart there and keep going. You don't even have to pump in quarters! We were able to blast through Metal Slug 4 in 45 minutes, and Metal Slug 5 in 30 minutes. In the arcade, the test was to do it all in one long swoop, not to burn $1000 in quarters with continues. So if you really want to test your skills, tell yourself not to use continues. Restart from the beginning, try again and see how well you do. That will help you really tune your reflexes and give you a longer lasting thrill out of playing.

Not an epic storytelling by any stretch of the imagination, but a fun way to mindlessly burn off stress after a rough day at work or school!

4.0 out of 5 stars NOW let me tell you about this game!!!! , June 23, 2005

By	Francisco Corts - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is an EXPOSIVE ACTION-PACKED collection of two videogames in one CD case!

The two videogames are the sequels to the popular serie Metal Slug. The games are 2d and full of VIOLENT action comedy with guns and even robots. Metal Slug is the excact same thing of the Contra series but only with comedy.

Metal Slug 4:
This game is not soo good because there isn't so much fun and is very similar to the previous Metal Slugs but this time the heroes ride a motorcycle and they can have two guns at the same time. BUT don't get me wrong! The game is pure WAR!!!!!

Metal Slug 5:
THIS IS THE BEST METAL SLUG EVER!!!!! IT'S HAVE SO MUCH FUN and the action is AWESOME!!!! You can ride a submarine, a jet and a fast car!! There is lava, falling elevartor, jungle, city, hold two guns at the same time, destructive giant robots and more!!!!!!!!! The fun in this game is very similar to the 2d Contra games.

P.S: This games are SO much better than the stupid previous sequel Metal Slug X.
