Honestly, It’s pretty difficult to recommend Metal Slug 1st & 2nd Mission Double Pack to you when you can already buy the original Metal Slug titles for the Switch on the marketplace. Plus, there’s also the destruction of the Metal Slugs in the game that, whilst you are using it, sends the player to a ‘prison camp’ where you can only use melee attacks. The game has some unique touches, there’s the Neo Geo pocket console border around the screen as you play and save states. There are two Metal Slug vehicles here that can be used in the game and once the player enters them, you can’t leave, which certainly feels very bizarre, as you will know if you’ve ever played any of the Metal Slug titles before. Depending on how you make your way through the game, not all the levels will be played. The first thing to note here are the seventeen missions over the usual five or six (even though there isn’t always a boss fight at the end of each level). They have also taken hostages and it’s your job to go in, rescue them and destroy the terrorists and their weapons. There is a story here, an evil insider within your military organisation has been selling your secret Metal Slug weapon program (a sort of special tanks ‘n planes) on the black market, to terrorists and foreign military. First released back in 1999 in Japan on the Neo Geo Pocket, this is the first of two extensions of the Neo Geo’s much-acclaimed Metal Slug series, one that I adore and have done for many years.
