"HEAVY MA-SHEEN GUN!" "ROCK-IT LAWN-CHAIR!"
Ah, I love this series. Ever since I played the first couple free online, I was hooked, and I eventually got a copy of Metal Slug Anthology for the PS2 last Fall. I'm not a run and gun expert, but I love playing games like this and Contra.
Anyways, my favorite one by far is Metal Slug 3, but 1, 2, and X are really good too. 3 was hilarious and thrilling at the same time. It really felt like they did everything they could to make a deep, engrossing game. The installments afterwords felt a bit stale by comparison, though the remix of "Final Attack" for the final boss in Metal Slug 5 was a nice, rocking tune.
If you haven't played these games, you owe it to yourself to find a way as soon as possible. It's a wonderful way to burn an hour or so by yourself or with friends.
