While there’s always been a back story to the Metal Slug games, they’ve been mostly relegated to quick ingame cinemas or a brief mention in the manual. Simply titled “Metal Slug” (although it’s often known as “Metal Slug 3D”, “Metal Slug PS2”, or “Metal Slug: Evolution”), it was released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the series. However, SNK proved they were competent with the release of The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact games, so gamers grew hopeful that they wouldn’t screw this one up.Īs it turns out, it’s not as bad as everyone expected – but it’s not great either. It was a sham in principle – SNK had stood for quality 2D action for years, and here it was selling out? Many other long time series had made the jump to the third dimension, with varying results, but this one looked particularly awful. Pretty much everyone on the face of the planet, even those who’d never heard of SNK, cringed when the first footage of a 3D Metal Slug surfaced.
