Slug 1..simply the best.
Little more below X & 3.

lol...what is it with you Pollux, are you buying according to the end results or what?

I liked one. When I first saw it at the pool hall I was hooked.

This is the last one, aside from the championship round which will be the winner of each poll. Truly intense, I know. Thank me later.

 

[Electric Grave]

Again, are you buying according to the end results?

Nope, I purchased my last AES cart back in 2008. Just merely polling.

It's always been the original for me. 2, X and 3 are all great as well, but it's the original that I used to play in the arcades as a kid, so the nostalgia puts it above the rest.

ms2 is my favourite. it used to be ms3, but over the years i find that ms2 is the one i play the most. i just love the visuals, level design,atmosphere and pacing of metal slug 2.

 

[NGCDFreak]

None.

 

[FilthyRear]

My favorite Metal Slug is the one I like the most.

 

[NeoGeoFanatic]

MS 1... because it started it all.

Can't remember the last time I saw the AES one for sale...

1 for me. Amazing game that has held up well, and is still a blast to play today.

Does 6 not make the cut because it was on the Atomiswave hardware, and never made it to the AES? After the strangeness of 4 and 5, which Is where the series really seemed to lose its way, I found 6 to be a welcome return to form. It brought back that Metal Slug vibe and quirky charm and humor that 4 and 5 seemed to have lost.

for me, the humour was never the selling point with the metal slug games. it was always the gameplay. and metal slug 5 plays very well imo. there for i really enjoy ms5.

i like metal slug 6 purely because ralf and clark are playable characters .

2

3 is best of playing ...
1 is best of classic ...
The rest is ok ...

What's there to discuss? The firstborn, of course.

The original. Love the level design, and I always enjoyed fighting the Rebel army more than all the zany creatures in 2, X and 3. But really, you can't go wrong with any of these.

I like the direction 4 tried to go in, but unfortunately aside from the overly recycled sprites the level design is lackluster and the bullet-sponging bodies make it a lot more frustrating.

 

[Heinz]

Look I love all of them and 1 is a classic adventure but 3 is what does it for me. 3 is epic as fuck.

[vinnieboy1]

3 is the pinnacle of the series after that it's all downhill. Slug 2 is a close 2nd

 

[Electric Grave]

3 is best of having duplicates for...
1 is best of having classic duplicates for...
The rest is ok to have duplicates for...

Fixed.

 

[xb74]

Voted 1 because it just has a lot of charm to it and for me, never gets old.

I enjoy them all but 2 bums me out due to the god damn slow down.

X > 2

 

[Electric Grave]

X > 2 for sure, you should try the 2 Turbo, it's a slight improvement, makes it way more fun, but X is still king.

I see some threads ask what is the best and others what is your favorite.

There's a big difference between the two.

I personally recognize that MS3 is the best in the series, but I personally enjoy MS2 more.

Fuck X.
