I particulary love Metal Slug for its unique humour.

That soldier which hiddes on the toilet seat part is a pure blast of laugh !

Also the scaling effect on the soldier that flies over the screen when the building falls is amazing. There is simply no single bad Metal Slug games untill we got the shitty 4th installement.

15 votes for slug 4 and 5?? :eek:

the best slug is the first episode for many reasons... (I have write a mini-review for slug 1 where is possible to understand why the first capter is better of the others but is it in italian)

Nazca work is 10/10, SNK work for slug series is a good work only.

Slug 3 (actual the first in the poll) is many long and ripetitive (stage 5 is long like 3 normal stages). For score, 1 play during 2h40minuts..... is too long :oh_no:

exactly how I feel, slug 3 is awesome but a little overrated.

MS1 has the best graphics, its not SNK, and its the perfect length.

best slug easily.

these two complains are ridiculous:

1)MS3 is too long. (Is that even a complain to begin with? I think it is a great feature)

2)MS3 is repetitive. (right... I guess multiple paths, insane ammount of different enemies and situations makes a game repetitive.

i own them all in either mvs or aes, and 3 is EASILY the best as far as i'm concerned. Best gameplay, best levels, best art, best bosses. The only part that is not the best IMO is the music, which is best in part 5.

i enjoyed all of them, but mainly X. The difficulty though was that good.

There are more metal slugs:
Advance
1st Mission
2nd mission

and the one available for playphone.

I know they're not part of the series, but in a way. What are the general thoughts on those?

playing the same slug game over and over and over again is pretty damn boring, imo.

1 for it being a classic
x for being an overall good game
3 for the graphics and the music of that one zombie stage

2 for being similar to x, which is a good game
4 for being somewhat similar to 1
5 for being just another slug game with a nice boss and some different things

Metal Slug 3, for sure. Nothing beats the zombie stage with the alien landing. I love the alien bosses for that stage. Priceless. :)

It's gotta be metal slug 2 in a dead even tie with 1. Metal slug x was better but just a modified version of 2 and i tend to give the originals more credit.

My favorite is X.

I can't believe how many people hate MS4, it's actually better than 3 & 5 IMO. I got bored with 3 & 5 after the 1st level. 1 is good, but it just doesn't have the flair that the others have.

So I guess I would rank them:

1) X
2) 4
3) 1
4) 3
5) 5
6) 2
