Metal Slug 4 & 5

"The initial surge of nostalgia for the glory days of 2D action is impossible to keep down while playing through these games. Unfortunately, once it fades, there’s little left to take its place. This combo pack will appeal only to those dedicated fans who take pleasure twisting their thumbs in knots trying to get the highest score. While it’s still a great shooter, it’s something we’ve all seen before. Both games definitively prove the Metal Slug series is slowing to a crawl and desperately needs to change if it wants to evolve and attract new fans."

"This set isn’t a horrible beginning for those looking to introduce themselves to the Metal Slug series, but last years Metal Slug 3 offers up no unlimited continues, the original development team’s work, and a much more “Metal Slug” feel. This series has always been about over the top action, sprinkled over a light mixture of comedy and explosions. And ultimately, Metal Slug 4 & 5 delivers."
