Pretty impressive. It was the original team's last effort after resurrecting from bankruptcy and they went out with a bang on this one! I preferred the funkiness over the metal, but it still sounds good.
Arjay X I knew it. I KNEW IT. That is ALWAYS the reason why a game is changed so drastically. I had that idea in the back of my head, but didn't think it happened cause the art style was still pretty faithful in the fifth entry. But, IT REALLY HAPPENED.
Medachod yes, SNK had went bankrupt and got taken in by a panochio machine company, i dont know how to spell them. They are a type of slot game machine. Playmore had given a company called Mega tons of sprites and backgrounds, which they recycled and frankenstiend to make Metal slug 4. When SNK got back on its feet they formed up with Playmore to make SNK Playmore, who made Metal Slug 5,6,7 and XX. Their king of fighters games are pretty darn good though, the PS3 ones are amazing.
Want to Know a Trivia? The Flame Shot was scrapped and unused due to the rushed programming. some enemy animations from dying to this weapon were unused.
I love Metal Slug series: (1, 2, X, 3, 4, and 5) Available Arcades only. There are some other Metal Slug series: Metal Slug Mobile (for iPhones, I'm not sure) Metal Slug 3D (Playstation 2) Released Japan only. Metal Slug Advance (Game Boy Advance) Metal Slug Anthology: 1 through 5, and 6 available for the first time (Playstation 2, PSP, and Nintendo Wii) Metal Slug 7 (Nintendo DS) And finally... Metal Slug XX (PSP) Metal Slug 7
32:05 She comes all the way out there to bring some bananas? That's dedication! :) At first i was like 'i prefer the techno from the previous games' but starting around 20:00, yeah the soundtrack frickin rocks.
I freaking love this game The Ptolemaic Army instead of the Rebel Armies to this games Besides the background levels, enemies, bosses and effects was incredible Tarma and Eri was playable again to this games My favorite enemies is a guerrilla soldier, ptolemaic snipers, black hounds and other ptolemaic enemies You can see the Stone Turtles and Ptolemaios tower on the fiery background from the last missions, but their sprite are scrapped and unused My favorite mission is second and final One more thing, the Flame Shot weapons are unused to these games, but their sprites are very unused (expect guerillas on the oil barrel drum) on the snipers, commanders, special forces (on his bike when you destroy), natives and masked soldiers sprites. If you want it, you can cheat to games on the Mame emulators
Questions bout' da final boss...its basically the devil that the polematics summon to take over the world.I love this metal slug as it does not have those annoying ass rebels
Bien dicho. Y seguro lo dices segun tus puntos positivos. Porque uno de los mios es el soundtrack del juego y es por eso que lo declaro como mi juego favorito.
This game is so weird, you're fighting the Brotherhood of Nod with metal music and an unused final boss. At least there's some people attempting to make a finished version of this game.
@cubex55 Awesome game! Congratulations, dude! I've tried download this game and the Metal Slug 4, but it doesn' work. I have the first, second and third to MAME emulator. Could give me some help, please? Where can I find MS 4 and 5? Which homepage should I look for them? A big hug, man! Thanks.
ScHiAuChi, you are a very capable gamer. i sincerely hope that eventually you make a Metal Slug 6 walkthrough. i can count on you to make a very enjoyable video. EightBitHD made videos on a par with you, until Metal Slug 6; then the bottom inexplicably fell out. i feel that your gaming powers are still as magical as they were when you made MS 1-5, so i hope you will consider making a MS6 walkthrough.
@cubex55 Well this and all the other metal slug long plays have been modified I've seen way too many instances were the character should die but didn't...
And soon...Metal Slug 5 Enhanced: SNK Vs. Fuzzy Door Productions edition (featuring extra characters from Family Guy (check out Joe Swanson's battle wheelchair with lasers), American Dad and the Cleveland Show).
Man, Metal Gear just doesn't stop being awesome... as long as it's in 2D. It's hard without being cheap, 45 minutes of white-knuckled intensity and visually still gorgeous to look at. I have to agree with g1mychael, though; lacks the epic final confrontation that 3 built up to.
I know Metal Slug games aren't known for a strong story, but does anybody else wonder what the hell was going on in the final level? I mean at least the other games could that clear. Here, on minute you're just fighting soldier guys, and the next, you have some evil cultists dudes and giant demon.
