   Il primo capitolo della saga è un classico senza tempo, che ha fatto la storia degli arcade anni 90. Ottima collection.

   You probably already heard about the input lag, and its real, and its bad, although it doesnt make the game unplayable.
   However, while IYou probably already heard about the input lag, and its real, and its bad, although it doesnt make the game unplayable.
   However, while I understand this is an emulation of a PS2 game, when the PS2 game came out, the series was already 10 years old (25 at the time of this version's release), and there is a lot of slowdowns, loading times, and glitches.
   Besides the poor emulation, the game runs like is running from a DVD...when it isnt the case.
   There are dozens of better ways to play these games, they are cheaper (or free), and have been available for decades.
   Only reason why I would recommend to buy this collection is if you want the trophies, but good luck with that considering the input lag.
   
   About the game themselves, they are classics, but they are from a different era, they were not made to be fair or balanced, they were made to take away your money at the arcades.
   However, the pixel art and the charm they have is legendary, and the reason why they are still so beloved 20 years after the release of the last entry in the franchise.
   
   In short, if you are a mega fan, buy it on a sale.… Expand

Being a hardcore Metal Slug gamer I can personally say that this is a pathetic port to come over from PS2 to PS4. I will say the intro gave me child hood vibes and was excited to get straight into the action. The biggest problem was the input lag. When starting up any Metal Slug game I noticed that the Neo-Geo boot up was slower than what it is meant to be. Starting the first mission i was so disappointed when moving, shooting, throwing grenades e.t.c every move you make is delayed by a big input lag. For needing to constantly dodge bullets and hazards it can become very frustrating when you just hit a bullet because of the input lag. Another complaint i will make is that this a port from the PS2 and not a remake. Wouldn't it have been nice to see wide screen support and possibly online play. Overall, Metal Slug Anthology PS4 is a very big disappointed and needs to either be updated to have very minimal input lag or completely remade so it can look more modern(The graphics in-game game are fine as they are old school arcade games). If you are looking to buy Metal Slug on PS4, I would not recommend Metal Slug Anthology… Expand

   I bought a game on playstation 4. For playstation 4. I wasn't expect a remaster, with 3D graphics, new special effects or even a special content. I expected arcade experience, so the level I've got like 15 years ago on my Pentium 200.
   I LOVE Metal Slug. I was a score chaser. Knew every hidden secret, and every possibility to earn even more points. When I first sat to this collection, I lost four continues on first 3 stages of first game though. Controls are LAGGY. Like 1,5s lag between pressing a jump and jumping. In game when accuracy is everything it ruins not even the experience. It makes the game unplayable!
   
   There is a review of this game (8/10) with bottom line "controls are responsive". What. The. **** Do we play different games? I payed the full price and I will not play it. Didn't finish even first game out of seven.
   
   And it comes from Metal Slug Fan.
   
   btw: I know there is a lot of biased reviews finished with 1/10 score. This isn't one of them. 1/10 for me is when the game is unplayable, and - for me - this game isn't playable at all.… Expand
