    Fantastic fun converted perfectly to Sony's handheld. All the Metal Slug you could ever want. [Issue #150, p.86]
  2. If you are the type of person to get easily flustered, stay away from the Metal Slug Anthology because it will eat you and your entire family for breakfast and pass you all by lunch.

    For good or for bad, it is the small price we must pay for getting what is otherwise such a great collection of games in convenient travel size. [Jan. 2007, p.80]

    Still as fun as it was in the arcades years ago; although it has minor technical niggles, all of those are forgivable if you've got the 'Slug in your blood. [Apr 2007, p.99]

    When all is said and done SNK has done a remarkable job of bringing seven of the greatest arcade games ever created into one neatly organized package and made it affordable.

    It's entertaining, amusing and its screen-filling boss battles are impressive, but it's completely throwaway. [Dec 2006, p.96]
  7. Metal Slug Anthology was supposed to be one of the portable system's A-list titles. Instead, due to reasons that probably couldn't have been helped, it ends up being one of the system's biggest jokes.

PSPwise the controls are smooth and you'll get your typical Metal Slug action. People who don't know Metal Slug might dig the lovely pixel artwork/animations and that it's basically a jump 'n' run game, just with a selection of heavy weapons which are weaker or stronger, yet all of them fun. Overall the game with its soundtrack aged well. Beginner or pro, the difficulty options make sure you'll get your challenge. Expand

    A must have for any Metal Slug fan. The collection includes Metal Slug 1 - 6 and Metal Slug X. The only downside is the fact, that the gamesA must have for any Metal Slug fan. The collection includes Metal Slug 1 - 6 and Metal Slug X. The only downside is the fact, that the games are emulated, rather than being ported. As a result, some slow-down and load screens are to be expected. However, slow-downs aren't common and don't last for too long. Expand
