Metal Slug 6!!

Pikachief · 11-13-2006, 01:31 AM

first time I have seen it COMFIRMED that it will be in the complilation that is known as METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY!

Now this is a MUST have for Metal Slug Fans!! Has anyone played Metal SLug 6 yet?

It was confirmed a long time ago that it would be part of the Anthology.

This is what I like to call a proper anthology, not that garbage like SF Anniversary was.

Ill be getting this game once i have money agian.

I have played it on PS2 and 6 is the worst slug imo (I love em all except 3).

I thought maybe it was just me so I went for a 2p run with my sister (not telling her my opinion) and she came to the same conclusion pretty quick. Then my bro game for a visit and I pulled the same thing and he too got bored as heck a few stages in.

I have put countless hours into the series and was sorely dissappointed.

Some of the things I liked:

- You can use Ralf and Clark (have some of their moves like the Argentina Back Breaker)
- Characters are now unique (Ralf takes two hits to die, for instance)
- You can carry two weapons at a time now

Played this game thrice and feel no urge to go back whatsoever.

MS6 really isnt good? Ive only played up to 5.

Whats the one where at the end you fight the huge alien spaceship that you just shoot up at?

Diavle · 11-13-2006, 01:52 AM

Like I said, I was very hyped but ended up being very let down.

that happens in MS2/MSX

Seraph · 11-13-2006, 02:14 AM

MS2 is my favorite then.

I dunno, there is just something about that last boss battle. The way it all plays out, the way your once enemies now help you agianst a greater enemy, and the music that plays while its all going on is very epic to me, even if it is just 2D sprites.

Diavle · 11-13-2006, 02:42 AM

I beg to differ there friend, 3D models have a long ways to go before they become nearly as expressive as 2D ones.

MS1 and 2 are my faves.

3 is your least favorite? *shrug* I loved X and 3 the best, followed by 1, then 5 and 4 the least. 4 was boring to me. Still haven't played 6. Does the anthology come with extras or anything? I might pick it up for the PS2.

Seraph · 11-13-2006, 10:05 AM

crap whats the one where at the end
you fall through the sky riding a huge alien
i hate that one, the end was too dang hard.

camac · 11-13-2006, 10:09 AM

Part 3. And yeah, that one is hard as hell. Long too. But you got to love part 3 for having multiple branches through out every level.

Diavle · 11-13-2006, 11:24 AM

Yeah 3 definitely wasn't my cup of tea, I have almost zero liking for aliens and zombies as a whole and the game was pretty much centred around that. The last stage was way too long and tedious. The path branching was neat but a lot of the areas I didn't like so I ended up going the same route most of the time. Oh and I hate it for going away from the WW2 feel.

I loved 4, its kinda like the KOF2k1 of Metal Slug, not very sexy but fun as hell. It has one hell of a soundtrack too.

The way I rate em:

1/2
4/5
X
3
6

I never fough the boss before and i died INSTANTLY

First one is my favorite. Second well comes in a close second

Seraph · 11-13-2006, 12:45 PM

well unfortuantly SNK did add Wii controls schemes to it, but most of them are pretty dumb.

http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/7101

Dont get me wrong though, it still has classic controls which is what I enjoyed the first 5 on. And the holding remote sideways scheme and just shaking to use a bomb looks almost dooable.

I was just hoping for a setup where you could aim up or down by pointing a cursor in the direction you wanted to shoot.
