The only three rounds that i think are relevant are the first three rounds. Every other round pretty much has a definitive answer and they're all, Contra.

Metal Slug definitely has the better graphics but i prefer, Contras game play. Most, Contra games are not designed to be as hard as, Metal Slug. Contra has a balanced progression of difficulty where, Metal Slug is ridiculous from the beginning. I love, Metal Slug but i have more fun with, Contra.

It's hard for me to compare these two games because one game was designed to make people fail so they would feed quarters to the arcade machines and the other was designed to be played and enjoyed in it's entirety on home consoles.
