Metal Slug X

Those of you thinking that Metal Slug X is a brand new game are mistaken, I am afraid to say. It's actually just a little bit bigger and a little bit better version of Metal Slug 2. It was a fine game on it's own, but now you have some slightly altered enemies and new graphics here and there.

It's not a major improvement and almost doesn't justify it's reason to exist. But since I got it included in my Metal Slug Anthology for the Nintendo Wii it's not like I went out of my way to pay extra for it. It's inclusion in this particular package is a mystery since one cannot possible feel the need to play it immediately after Metal Slug 2. SNK should have replaced with Metal Slug Advance at the very least.

A fun shooter nonetheless.

Metal Slug is one of the most popular Arcade Games made by Snk (formerly for the now deceased Neo Geo home console).

The games were ridiculously priced at $300 but now with the power of the internet and emulation, you can play these games for free.

Metal Slug X is an enhanced version of Metal Slug 2. In Metal Slug, you play as war hero fighing nazi soldier's and freeing pows, and blowing up tanks with machine guns and high bazookas!!

In this version, the game has been enhanced to include deadly Aliens from outer space!!! (Obviously borrowed from Aliens and Duke Nukem).

Tthere are 5 different sequels to Metal Slug and this a great one to that collection.

The great critic has spoken.
