Metal Slug 4/5 Combo Pack
The Metal Slug series may be one of the most revered “Run N' Gun” games since Contra or Gunstar Heroes, and luckily, each new entry in the series keeps up to the high standard set by the previous game. These type of games are 2D, side-scrolling, action-heavy, challenging, and arguably very old-school. Metal Slug 4 and 5 are no different. These are arcade perfect versions of their respective... Top

METAL SLUG
Strengths: fun shoot em up gameplay
Weakness: can get repetitive and silly at times
METAL SLUG 4 and 5 is a side scrolling shooter game for the XBOX. If you have played Contra for Nintendo, you will be very familiar with this game. You can pick from 4 different characters , 2 male and 2 female, and proceed as a one man army against an evil army that’s armed to the teeth. You rescue captured POWs along the way who reward you with bonus points, different weapons, health, or power-ups. You also get different guns and weapons in both games, but they are limited in ammo so you have to use them wisely. Another aspect that evens up the odds on your side is the ability to drive different vehicles called Metal Slugs. They vary from a basic tank to a bipedal walker with a deadly cannon. You can even drive a camel armed with a gun array on its hump and get turned into a slow moving mummy. The previous Slug games were unforgiving in their difficulty and made you want to throw your controller out the window. Fortunately, both games have unlimited lives and continues so you are guaranteed to see the ending sequence eventually. Not having to start each stage over and over is a giant plus for me, and you must also consider the fact that you are getting 2 games for the price of one. If you like shooting side scrolling games, I highly recommend getting this game; it is definitely a blast to play.
