While I was still able to finish the missions solo the game still felt unplayable due to the amount of FPS drops in this game. From the 4 MS games we got on GOG this is probably the one with the most FPS drops because they are almost everywhere. Something is smoking? FPSdrops! Something explodes? FPSdrops! More than 10 enemies? FPSdrops!
Due to said FPSdrops you will often enjoy how you die in SlowMO so at least you will know what killed you so there is that.
There are many nice places on the web when you can download roms of those games and emulators. Using such things is legal you have a legal copy. So buy a game here on GoG, download good quality emulator and rom, and enjoy playing your favorite game on best quality fully legally :)
Same review as the other Metal Slug games, the only diference is that this is the worst of all. The amount of fps drops make this game unplayable.
I could finished the game but the problem, as you may notice on other reviews is the same: the port is bad, frequent slowdownd and lag. At december 2018 the problem has not been solved yet. The game is a 5 stars for me if this problem is solved, until then I think 2 stars is fair enough.
The short of it is that this has "legacy" slowdown which just shouldn't exist anymore. If any modern console game showed up on PC and had technical issues because it was a dump of a console game and not enough was done to hone it for PC hardware, it would be eaten alive. This game is a good game from the a "retro" era, however shortcomings due to "retro" technology should get ironed out when something is released on superior technology and a price tag is attached. So despite liking the core game, I know realistically what it is, and I have to hit not recommended. What's especially weird given all this is that one of the major improvements X made on 2 (it's the same game being upgraded) was that it removed the slowdown - but in this version, the slowdown is back, so it isn't even legacy slowdown here. It's just a poor port.
Not as good as Metal Slug 3, but still a good game. Just like the other versions on Steam, I wish there was an option to disable the Legacy slowdown - have it as a toggle for those who want it and those who don't.
This is mostly a DLC pack for Metal Slug 2, but since DLC wasn't around in those days and most companies weren't doing the lock-on cartridge thing... it was buy the new game for your NeoGeo, or buy a new arcade cabinet.
For some reason, the Steam and GOG versions of Metal Slug 2 don't have online multiplayer. X does however.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
