A fairly miserable sequel to Metal Slug that had unfortunate circumstances. I mean, how on earth can ANY development team even dream of living up to a game like Metal Slug 3? But even so, this game lacked any real creativity within what they had to work with, and most enemy spawns have this incessant need to be tedious, as some screens take what feels like hours to finish.

There's also the matter of presentation, which is also pretty awful. Most sprites are completely recycled/frankenstein'd together from the previous games, and the music just isn't that exciting nor game-y. Also, both of the new characters have knacks that make them both worse to play, not sure what made them think that was a good idea.

It's worth going through once out of sheer curiosity, but I doubt most would really be that compelled to replay it. I'm convinced anyone that views this game in a brighter light than I probably never played any of the Metal Slug titles before this.
