The first Metal Slug is actually the best game in the series.

It's good but too easy

Played MS1 and 2 and there is a lot of difference between them
the fact that a level in MS2 equals to 2 levels of MS1

Yes it is the best. And by quite a wide margin as well.

>> No.5875449

X is the best. Everything was just right.

Which is the one in where you can turn into a zombie? I hate that one.

Rare take: metal slug is just superb through-and-through.

Not really. The difficulty, creativity, enemy/weapon variety and level design that make the games iconic game after 1. 1 is still good though.

Probably. I liked the simple WW2 theme. MS2 was good but the aliums and stuff at the end was fun for it's time but later MS's took it too far with the crazy stuff. Half of MS3 was the shoot em stage and invasion of the alien base. Just way too far removed from the simple war setting of MS1.

MS4 was a return to tanks and soldiers stuff. But it was made by korean dogs with stolen sprites so...

That's not a meme, all of the "new" art in Slug 4 was either from unused assets from X and 3 or frankensteined sprites. And the last boss is really bad bullet hell so you shouldn't consider 1 credit clearing it too seriously.

All of the Metal Slug games are the best games.

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. Metal Slug 1 was the only 10/10 in the series

Not even a rare opinion. Lots of /vr/ posters seem to prefer 1.

I've never played anything after 1-3 (and X), any of them good?

4 has kinda shit bosses and level design but great music
5 is an improvement but it was rushed so it can feel incomplete, music is also great
6 is kinda okayish, it has some good setpieces but i don't find myself playing it as much as the others
7 sucks sans the music and XX is a decent improvement (though fuck them for using the shit voices from Slug6).

They're small budget direct-to-video products. I thought they were ok but can see why people hate them. Play demon front.

4 and 5 aren't that good. 6 and 7 are okay but not as good as 1-3 and X.

If you're gonna play Metal Slug 6 track down the individually released Japanese PS2 source port with combat school, not the emulated one on Anthology.

Metal Slug 3 had the best music.

1 is pretty fun, but fairly basic and easy. X was the best all around, I'd say
3 could've been the best for me, as I love how creative and off the wall it gets. But the final level is just too damn long.
