    Metal Slug 2 is a classic run-and-gun game with plenty of action. It’s a tough game, but that’s the point, and you’ll certainly have fun wading through hordes of soldiers and trying new weapons, especially with a buddy in co-op mode.

    Metal Slug 2 may not be as consistently exciting as the first game but the added variety and extra characters make it a worthy sequel indeed. If you're a fan of retro games then you'll have a blast with this one.

    Offering the usual fun and gun action as the rest of the series, Metal Slug 2 will provide a lot of entertainment and the High Score and Caravan modes add to the replayability of it. The downside is that this is an authentic recreation of the original game, warts and all. The well designed stages, amusing character designs, detailed scenery and brilliant soundtrack are great, but the slowdown is painful at times. Smaller dips in performance are easy to put up with, but the larger ones harm the game, and your enjoyment. There's still fun to be had here, but Metal Slug 2 is far from an essential download, and it might be a better idea to wait for Metal Slug X, which fixes the slowdown and adds more content.

    The most important thing you should know about Metal Slug 2 is that it is virtually identical to Metal Slug X, except Metal Slug X is muchThe most important thing you should know about Metal Slug 2 is that it is virtually identical to Metal Slug X, except Metal Slug X is much better. That's because Metal Slug X is a contemporary remake of MS2, owing to the horrible slowdown that plagues this game. It becomes nearly unplayable at times because of apparent issues with the way it was programmed, and this Nintendo Switch port is truly arcade-perfect -- even the modern hardware, hundreds of times more powerful than the Neo Geo, doesn't make a difference. The game is a chunky, choppy mess and should be skipped. Play Metal Slug X instead -- you won't miss a thing.… Expand

    almost unplayable, like the neo geo version, too many frame drops, buy or emulate another of the trillion versions there are
