    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.

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. Full Review »
