Kazuma Kujo, the developer of Metal Slug once said, "Give the player everything you've got, right from the start." This game exemplifies that philosophy in spades. It was always a go-to game at the Pizza Parlor and once it was ported onto consoles, I lept at the chance to tear down enemy soldiers once more with my comrades. It's balls to the wall gameplay and globetrotting environments make it the best of the Metal Slug series.
