Review title of Its JoeMama METAL SLUG!!!

Metal Slug is legendary. Easy to pick up and play. Hard to master. Now I don't have much experience with Metal Slug 1, but I've been a fan of the series since around six years old. This version is pretty nice. Not the smoothest port but hey it's Metal Slug. Shooting up and down while jumping is strange. I'm not sure if it's the port, but it's slightly annoying since that's really one of the main ways of shooting. All other Metal Slugs don't have this problem. My only big gripe, really. Metal Slug is also the easiest in the series. Not a bad thing but it depends. The mode select screen is super rough and awkward. No biggy just a tad annoying. All in all it's great fun. Give it a shot. 3.5/5 [UPDATE] (The game tends to crash pretty frequent. Mostly when looking at leaderboards. Game is great but the port is held together by tape) + It's METAL SLUG!! + Classic 2D greatness + Straight forward - Controls could use a few tweaks - Easy compared to others in the series - Port is rough
