From its first release on the Neo-Geo home console and arcade system in 1996 to the most recent release of Metal Slug 6 in 2006 for the PS2, Metal Slug as proven to the gaming community that a well constructed 2D side scrolling shooter can still be a heck of a good time. The game uses Contra-esque mechanics along with some pretty humorous moments to emerse gamers in this 1-2 player action shoot 'emup classic.

Included in this release will be every Metal Slug game released to date: Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5, and finally, Metal Slug 6. And since the Adhoc multiplayer function has been confirmed for this game, you can look forward to sharing hours apon hours of good times with a friend.

Outlook
You've got to hand it to SNK for realizing that, "if a game is fun, why change up the general concept?" It's all too disapointing to hear about a game you once loved as a child, or just a few years back being "Recreated for the Current Gen!!!" and to eventually find out that same old game just isn't the same in 3D (**cough**Bomberman**cough**).

If you're a Metal Slug fan, this game should be a must to add to your collection. And if you're new to the series altogether, what better time to hop aboard than now. Here's your chance to try all seven games for the price of one. Because of the side scrolling and simple control, this should also make a good starter game for all those guys out there trying to get the wives and girlfriends into their favorite hobby.
