Metal Slug Anthology (Review)

Mar 5, 2007

The Metal Slug series is one of those litmus tests for gamers. Some think it's the pinnacle of classic, 2D arcade side-scrollers such as Contra and the recently 360-fied Alien Hominid.

Sep 26, 2006

We don't want to complain about our fancy new hardware not being pushed to its limits, but the side-scrolling shooting of Metal Slug Anthology wouldn't even overwork the DS. So, it's a little strange to bring you about a billion new screens for the high-powered PSP and, of all of systems, Wii, that look like they could be from a Game Boy Advance game. The screens also weren't differentiated, as to which were PSP and which were Wii, but let's just assume both platforms can handle the Metal Slug ...
