Metal Slug 2 on the PSP is most commonly experienced as part of the Metal Slug Anthology (2007), a comprehensive collection that brought the arcade’s most chaotic run-and-gun action to the palm of your hand. While the original 1998 arcade version was famous for its slowdown, the PSP collection provides a portable way to enjoy this legendary sequel alongside its brothers.

Story: The Second Mission

Two years after the defeat of General Morden, the rebellion has begun to stir once again. Rumors suggest that Morden has formed an alliance with a mysterious extraterrestrial force to stage a global coup.

The Plot: The Peregrine Falcon Strike Force members Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving return, joined by newcomers Eri Kasamoto and Fio Germi of the Intelligence Agency’s S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. unit. Their mission spans the globe—from the deserts of Egypt to the streets of Hong Kong—culminating in a desperate fight against an alien mothership.

Back Cover Description

(From Metal Slug Anthology)

“SEVEN GAMES. ONE UMD.”

“Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the world’s most intense run-and-gun series. For the first time ever, Metal Slug 1 through 6, plus the legendary Metal Slug X, are packed onto one UMD.

In Metal Slug 2, take the fight to General Morden and his new alien allies. Utilize an expanded arsenal of weapons including the Laser Gun and Fire Bomb, and pilot new vehicles like the Slug Flyer and Camel Slug. With redrawn 2D sprites, heart-pounding boss battles, and the ability to unlock concept art and music, this is the ultimate tribute to the arcade classic.

Key Gameplay Features

Expanded Roster: The first game in the series to introduce Eri and Fio, bringing the playable character count to four.
Transformations: A series staple introduced here; if your character eats too much food, they become obese, changing their speed and weapon power. You can also be turned into a Mummy in the desert stages.
New Vehicles: Introduces the Slug Flyer (fighter jet), the Camel Slug (a camel with vulcans), and the Slugnoid (a jumping mech).
Anthology Bonuses: The PSP version includes unlockable galleries featuring character profiles, classic arcade posters, and a sound test to enjoy the iconic soundtrack.
Ad-Hoc Multiplayer: You can team up with a friend for two-player co-op action via the PSP’s wireless local connection.

Short Review: Arcade Chaos in Your Pocket

The Good

Incredible Value: Since it’s usually bundled in the Anthology, you get seven games for the price of one.
Visual Fidelity: The 2D pixel art is timeless. On the PSP’s screen, the vibrant colors and detailed animations of the explosions and enemies still look fantastic today.
Portability: Metal Slug is built for short, intense bursts of gameplay, making it a perfect fit for a handheld system.

The Bad

Control Limitations: Lacking a second analog stick or a proper D-pad (depending on your PSP model) can make diagonal aiming a bit tricky during frantic boss fights.
Slowdown: The PSP version faithfully recreates the original arcade’s “slowdown” when too many sprites are on screen. While nostalgic for some, it can be jarring for others.
