It was re-released in 1999 in a slightly modified form as Metal Slug X: Super Vehicle-001 ( メタルスラッグ X). It has been ported to the Neo Geo CD, PlayStation, Virtual Console, iOS and Android, and to the Wii, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 (as part of the Metal Slug Anthology). The game added several new features to the gameplay of the original Metal Slug, such as new weapons, vehicles and the ability to transform the character.
It received generally positive reviews.GameplayGameplay in Metal Slug 2 is very similar to the previous game; the player(s) must shoot constantly at a continual stream of enemies in order to reach the end of each level. At this point, the player confronts a boss, who is usually considerably larger and tougher than regular enemies. On the way through each level, the player can find numerous weapon upgrades and 'Metal Slug' tanks. The tank is known as the SV-001 ('SV' stands for Super Vehicle), which not only increases the player's offense, but considerably adds to their defense.In addition to shooting, the player can also perform melee attacks by using a knife and/or kicking.
The player does not die simply by coming into contact with enemies, and correspondingly, many of the enemy troops also have melee attacks. Much of the game's scenery is also destructible, and occasionally, this reveals extra items or power-ups, although most of the time it simply results in collateral damage.During the course of a level, the player also encounters POWs, who, if freed, offer the player bonuses in the form of random items or weapons.
