    An Amazing Game That's Even Better Than The First!

    By 4EverGreen | Review Date: Sep 22, 2022 | NS

    You got to hand it to Neo Geo for sticking to their "Guns", and not giving up traditional 32 bit 2D video games without a "Fight". This game not only features improved graphics, controls, music, sound, and difficulty ove... Read Full Review

    A fine example of what a shoot-'em-up should be. The game still retains the over-the-top action the series is known for.

    A long while back in Seventh Grade, my friend asked me, "What's the first thing that comes to mind when I say 'Halloween'?" My reply was "cardboard box." He thought I was insane - but yeah - I said "cardboard box".... Read Full Review

    Action-packed!

    By flintheart_glomgold | Review Date: Oct 26, 2007 | ARC

    This first sequel in the Metal Slug series is every bit as furious and chaotic as the original. This time you can play as one of four characters across the usual variety of wonderfully detail and humorous landscapes as y... Read Full Review

    a great arcade shoot em up

    By toolzz360 | Review Date: Sep 04, 2007 | NEO

    Greatest Arcade Shooter of All Time,'nuff said.

    By sanctuary13 | Review Date: Jul 18, 2007 | NEO

    To put it simply, MS2 is the highlight of an already wondrous series. Metal Slug is THE final word in arcade side scrolling shooters, and nothing released since then can come close to its grandeur. controls are simple,... Read Full Review

    Holy crap!

    By Vul52988 | Review Date: Jan 07, 2006 | NEO

    I'm a big-time arcade gamer. And anyone like me will answer the question "What do you think the greatest arcade game is?" the same: Metal Slug. This is a game that is a true badge of honor to any who can complete it. ... Read Full Review
