 The best value for an anthology September 26, 2008
I own a few anthologies and this is definitely the best value. 7 Metal Slug games in one package! If you're a fan of side scrolling shoot em ups, this is definitely a game you need to own. A must have for Metal Slug fans out there.

A great collection from SNK Playmore. 2-d side-scrolling blasting action.
If you love run-&-blast games. Get this collection. You will have a blast.
All the games in 1 place. June 15, 2008
Excellent value for all the games to be on one disc.
A little more rare than it should be, though; hence the price (for a PS2 game).
I bought this because my girlfriend loves it. She hasn't really played any games besides SNES and Katamari, so she loved the simplicity of all these games. Side-scrolling, goofy guns, funny accents, zombies and most importantly, FUN!
And its still a classic for us boys that need to mash buttons and kill historical socialist political forces.
long time F.U.N April 25, 2008
i used to play metal slug 1 and then 2( when they first came out) game on commercial big screen in game stores.when i was a kid(ah those days),i usually change 10 dollars of quarters and play daylong until i had no quarter left. when i saw this game those memories came back and i bought it right away. because these kinda games comes once in a while. on top of that you get all versions in one place for a reasonable price. This is king of 2d games, and best there is in shooting and action.
Its a must buy, those who wont regret not buying it.
THE BEST THERE IS!!! December 19, 2007
For those who aren't in the know, Metal Slug is a true classic gaming franchise. I'd put it well above Contra as the best side scrolling shooter ever.
I remember when I first saw Metal Slug 1. Me and a friend of mine were at the bowling alley when we first saw and played it. It blew our minds. This game had us talking for days about how cool we thought it was. About all the cool stuff we saw and experienced while playing it. We couldn't wait to go back and play it again. It soon became our favorite game and couldn't play it enough. As time went on, I'd hear rumors of it appearing on this console or that one and I remember the feeling of wanting to do or pay anything to have it. Then the sequels came out in the arcades and I remember how fun it was to see the new versions, see the differences and have so much fun playing them. Well now they're all here.
These games are so fun and unique. The art style is so original and ineteresting (you gotta hand it to SNK for sticking with the 2D sprites in their games),there's really nothing quite like it. The idea is simple, take one or two soldiers through various stages fighting pseudo WWII German soldiers, zombies, and other various creatures. At the end of each stage are some of the funnest and most original boss battles you'll ever see. Along the way are a great variety of weapons and vehicles to use to destroy everything. Machine guns, flame throwers, shotguns, grenades, rocket launchers, tanks, planes, and submarines are just some that come to mind. The animations for the stages are great and characters are hilarious. It's violence but in such a comical and semi-realistic way. The controls are great on all of these games as well as the unique graphics and sound.
So if your new to this series and are even the slightest bit interested, feel free to jump in and try it, you will not regret it. For those of you familiar with this series at all, this is one of the easiest guaranteed no brainer buys ever. Six games on 1 disc!!! But get it while you can because like Capcom, SNK is notorious for not producing enough of each title and then they get harder to find and the price goes up and up.
