There is also some noticeable slowdown when the screen gets busy, but that is also a flaw of the original games. This does break up the flow, even if it is a very short pause and an opportunity to rest weary fingers. The major drawback is the loading – for most of the games, each mission (and on later games, different parts of the levels) needs a separate load. The graphics are excellent throughout and the music is spot on.

In terms of the actual emulation, there is good and bad. Another change is in the graphics – at key points the screen will zoom in and out to show more of the action.

Each character has a different characteristic, a different alternative fire (R1 and X) and they now sport the ability to hold two weapons (changing between them with Triangle). Once again, aliens play a key part in the plot, with Ikari Warriors heroes Ralf and Clark joining the line-up. The collection contains the most recent game in the series, Metal Slug 6, which is appearing on console for the first time. The “running slide” move (down and X) was also new for this game. The final confrontation is also cleverly done and would not look out of place in a Nintendo game. Metal Slug 5 starts with a nice jungle/Aztec level and a funny little cutscene that sets up the new bad guy. Metal Slug 4 adds more choice of routes and more interactions with the other characters (following on from 3’s plotline with an abducted character turning up later in the game). However, variety is added with the underwater section and the tough final battle in the alien spaceship. Metal Slug 3 at first glance appears to be very similar to what has gone before, with many re-used graphics and ideas.

One of the most effective sections is the underground tunnel, with the player having to destroy a subway train. Metal Slug X is more of a remix of the second title than a new game, with subtle alterations to backgrounds, a couple of new weapons and a different end sequence. The mummies also put in their first appearance. Metal Slug 2 brought new weapons, new vehicles and a surprise twist on the last mission – aliens. The structure was firmly in place – five missions, each ending with a tough boss. It also set the difficulty level at a high mark, where it stayed throughout the games.

It established so many of the key elements – bonus objects like cards and food, the prisoners to be rescued, and the fabulous little tank (which is what the series takes its name from). The original Metal Slug was a breath of fresh air, the beautiful hand-drawn graphics setting a new benchmark. Buy it now.” – but that would not tell the whole story. This review could be over in just ten words – “Run.
