There are eight different weapons all in all (not including the standard issue knife), seven of which can be picked up from eliminated enemies throughout the game:Ĭontrol is responsive and the game moves along at a fast pace ¿ but most importantly, Metal Slug is a lot of fun to play. The machine gun sprinkles the screen with dozens of spinning bullets, rockets home in on their targets and grenades are indispensable for taking out larger targets, such as the game's occasional mechanical bosses.
Unlike in similar action outings, like Turok 2 on Game Boy Color, Metal Slug's arsenal delivers a satisfying punch. Taking out a target will often yield a power-up, such as energy items, score items, ammo, invincibility, 1-ups, rank medals or new weapons.
The competition consists of tanks, flak cannons and numerous well-animated soldiers who try to take you out with guns or even jump at you with knives or machetes. The game moves along at a brisk pace and players are firing their weapons almost non-stop, even while jumping platforms or hitching a ride on ropeways. Don't let the title fool you - Metal Slug is everything but sluggish. A VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) called the "Slug Flyer" is the transport of choice for the game's occiasional air battles, during which gameplay switches to Scramble-style shooting and bombing runs.
At key moments, you will also be able to hop into the "Metal Slug", a multi-function tank with a machine gun and missile launcher and even the ability to jump and crouch. During most of the missions, players run their armed soldier from the left to the right, shooting both human and mechanical enemies, dodge bullets and jump over obstacles. Gameplay is very similar to Konami's Contra series. As the young recruit, you have to fight yourself through more than 16 combat missions, infiltrate a hostile materials storage facility, destroy it and capture guerilla leader Colonel Bildegaarn. The Game SNK's portable version of the popular arcade (and later Sega Saturn) hit casts players in the role of a Rambo-esque member of the Elite Special Forces Squad, the Pregrine Falcons.
