Great Arcade Classic On The Neo Geo Pocket

Often when an arcade game is put onto another system the results aren't pleasing, but in this case Metal Slug has been adapted perfectly for the Neo Geo Pocket. If you like the arcade version, the Neo Geo Pocket version is for you. The graphics are spectacular, especially for a portable system, and the gameplay is excellant, with few, if any, flaws. THe only flaw in this game is that it is too short, and that I beat it in about 3 days. Even with that flaw, you can change the difficulty level and try to beat it all over again. This game is one of the best for the Neo Geo Pocket.

Action Packed Freaky Fun

This game is amazing! To start, Metal Slug is a great game. I wouldn't have thought that if it went to handheld system that it would have been good. But it is! Its GREAT!

You'r a lone soldier that fights through masses of enemies, sometimes acompanied by Metal Slug (a tank that the game is named after), a jet, and some other vehicles. The control is very responsive due to the great Neogeo Pocket Color's joy-stick. The graphics are amazing and really DO push the limits of the NGPC (just like any other SNK produced game).

Looking for a fun game? Look no further. This game holds true to its arcade roots. You do experience some slow down at times, but its understandable when alot of stuff is blowing up. This game is a MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS A NEOGEO POCKET COLOR.

Great fun!

I am a teenager who grew up on videogames, and I get TONS of them each month. So when I say that this is one of my favorite videogames ever, that means something. By the way, parents, there is quite a bit of shooting in this game, but there is no actual blood. It is the equivilent of the old G.I. Joe cartoon. Anyway, this is insanly addictive gaming at it's finest (it got me away from Pokemon. Now are you convinced?). It is small, but it has multiple paths, so you can play through the entire game twice and not see everything! The graphics are also great. If you like old Contra, get this!

Metal Slug is probably one of the best games ever made. It has over 16 Levels I believe and has tons of action and on many videogame sites it got a very good rating. I can't stop playing the game I believe it is one of the best games ever made! If you are planning to buy a Neo Geo Pocket Color, this should be your first game to get. This game will appeal to all video gamers.:-)

Superb pocket version of an amazing game

I was unsure about this title being put onto a handheld because of the crazy amount of action that goes on in the arcade versions. I was more than pleased when I started playing though as I found although it hasn't got the amazing visuals of the arcades you can bet all the fun is there. It won't take long for the above average gamer to complete this game but if ur a fan u can bet it will have you hooked trying to achieve the highest rank. If you ever loved a shoot 'em up, u'll love this.

Best Adventure in Long Time

The Neo Geo is having a slow start with competitors like Gameboy, but it is definately the superior hand-held, no questions asked. Metal Slug is the arcade classic brought to this phenomenal machine. It is a must buy title, along with Tennis and King of Fighters. I will never get tired of playing Metal Slug, plus there are secrets to uncover.

As an older game addict (much older, believe me) I found this game to be really fun. The graphics and color are clear and distinct. The scenes are fun and will occasionally suprise you. I think it's a great time for kids of all ages!

Almost as good as the arcade

This game is without a doubt one of the best on the Neo pocket. SNK did an excellent job of replicating the arcade experience on their new portable system. Control is tight, graphics are just as detailed as the arcade version, and the game is challenging, but not over the top. Make it your first purchase.

Metal Slug - I wasn't sure that I would like this game though Iwas looking for a true arcade type shooter. Talk about having anadrelin rush! I could not put this game down! And I am a female and way over twenty. Though I really didn't want my son playing with this game, we gave in and now I have to take turns with him. Though this is really not a game for children, it is a great game for adults.

Byfar one of the best games on any console. It's hard to believe this much fun can be packed into such a little cart. The missions are varied, the graphics are quite good even on the small screen, and the non-stop action always has you coming back for more. Great game.
